The system_server process in the core android package has an exported broadcast receiver that allows any app co-located on the device to programmatically initiate the taking of a screenshot and have the resulting screenshot be written to external storage. The taking of a screenshot is not transparent to the user; the device has a screen animation as the screenshot is taken and there is a notification indicating that a screenshot occurred. If the attacking app also requests the EXPAND_STATUS_BAR permission, it can wake the device up using certain techniques and expand the status bar to take a screenshot of the user's notifications even if the device has an active screen lock. The notifications may contain sensitive data such as text messages used in two-factor authentication. The system_server process that provides this capability cannot be disabled, as it is part of the Android framework. The notification can be removed by a local Denial of Service (DoS) attack to reboot the device.","severity":{"version":"3.0","score":5.5,"vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N","level":"medium","assessor":"primary","from":"nvd"},"epss":{"day":"2026-11-09","score":0.00357,"percentile":0.29652,"model":"v2026.06.15"},"facts":{"in_kev":false,"known_exploited":false,"public_exploit":false,"fix_available":false},"cwes":["CWE-20"],"published":"2019-04-25T19:29:46Z","modified":"2026-06-17T01:42:01Z","products":[{"vendor":"sony","product":"xperia_l1_firmware"}],"references":[{"url":"https://www.kryptowire.com/portal/android-firmware-defcon-2018/","tags":["x_refsource_MISC","x_transferred","Third Party Advisory"]},{"url":"https://www.kryptowire.com","tags":["x_refsource_MISC","x_transferred","Third Party Advisory"]},{"url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2018-14983"},{"url":"https://www.kryptowire.com/portal/android-firmware-defcon-2018"},{"url":"https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-486m-w2rh-xjxm"}],"sources":{"cve":[{"id":"CVE-2018-14983","description":"The Sony Xperia L1 Android device with a build fingerprint of Sony/G3313/G3313:7.0/43.0.A.6.49/2867558199:user/release-keys contains the android framework (i.e., system_server) with a package name of android (versionCode=24, versionName=7.0) that has been modified by Sony or another entity in the supply chain.
