This could lead to local escalation of privilege with no additional execution privileges needed.

LOW 3.3EPSS 0.08%

Does this matter?

Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.08%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.

Description

In Permission Manager, there is a possible way for the microphone privacy indicator to remain activated even after the user attempts to close the app due to a logic error in the code. This could lead to local escalation of privilege with no additional execution privileges needed. User interaction is not needed for exploitation.
