CVE-2025-26461
This could lead to local escalation of privilege with no additional execution privileges needed.
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.
