CVE-2026-0055
MediumCVSS 6.2Exploitation Probability (EPSS)
Low risk0th percentile - higher than 0% of all known CVEs
Summary
In createSessionInternal of PackageInstallerService.java, there is a possible to update a Device Policy Controller (DPC) into an invalid directory due to a path traversal error. This could lead to local escalation of privilege with no additional execution privileges needed. User interaction is not needed for exploitation.
Risk Assessment
An attacker can install a malicious DPC in an unauthorized location, potentially leading to device takeover.
Recommendation
Fix path validation in the createSessionInternal method and apply the security patch.
