Google has issued a warning about the active exploitation of a privilege escalation vulnerability, CVE-2024-43093, in the Android Framework, which allows unauthorized access to certain directories. The flaw is reportedly under limited, targeted exploitation, though specific details on its real-world use are scarce. Additionally, a patched Qualcomm chipset vulnerability, CVE-2024-43047, has also been actively exploited. Both vulnerabilities may have been used in targeted spyware attacks, but it's unclear if they were combined for privilege escalation and code execution.
