(Pwn2Own) Xiaomi GetApps Intent Privilege Escalation Vulnerability

This vulnerability allows local attackers to escalate privileges on affected installations of Xiaomi GetApps. An attacker must first obtain the ability to execute low-privileged code on the target system in order to exploit this vulnerability. The specific flaw exists within the handling of intents.

An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to escalate privileges to resources normally protected from the application.
