In multiple functions in AppInfoBase.java, there is a possible way to manipulate app permission settings belonging to another user on the device due to a missing permission check.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (0.18%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
