Does this matter?

High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (0.08%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.

Description

In createPhonebookDialogView and createMapDialogView of BluetoothPermissionActivity.java, there is a possible permissions bypass. This could lead to local escalation of privilege due to hiding and bypassing the user's ability to disable access to contacts, with no additional execution privileges needed. User interaction is needed for exploitation.
