Android Framework MediaProjectionPermissionActivity screen recording consent bypass

IdentifiersCVE-2025-32322CWE-20· Improper Input Validation

CVE-2025-32322 is a high-severity local privilege escalation vulnerability in the Android Framework affecting Android 13 and Android 14. The flaw is in the onCreate method of MediaProjectionPermissionActivity.java, where improper input validation allows a malicious application to supply crafted input and obtain a valid MediaProjection token without the normal consent flow. As a result, the app can bypass the MediaProjection permission dialog that is intended to require explicit user approval before screen capture begins, enabling unauthorized screen recording on the device.

ANALYST BRIEF

Impact, mitigation & remediation

What it means. What to do now. Patch path, mitigations, and the assume-compromise checklist.

Impact

What an attacker gets, and what they’ve been doing with it.

Successful exploitation allows a malicious local application to silently bypass Android's MediaProjection consent mechanism and gain unauthorized screen recording capability. This undermines a core privacy control and can expose sensitive information displayed on the device screen. The issue is characterized as local escalation of privilege and does not require additional execution privileges.

Mitigation

If you can’t patch tonight, do this now.

If immediate patching is not possible, reduce exposure by limiting installation of untrusted or unnecessary applications, especially on affected Android 13 and 14 devices. Prefer managed app distribution, application allowlisting, and mobile threat defense or EDR controls capable of detecting suspicious MediaProjection abuse. Because the flaw bypasses the normal consent dialog and requires no user interaction for exploitation, patching is the primary effective mitigation.

Remediation

Patch, then assume compromise.

Apply the Android security updates that include the fix for CVE-2025-32322. The provided content states Google addressed the issue in the September 2025 Android Security Bulletin and that devices should be updated to security patch level 2025-09-05 or later. Devices remain vulnerable until that patch level, or a vendor backport containing the same fix, is installed.
