Google’s Exposure Notification API has a bit of a security leak. It turns out system apps have a lot more access than they really should. Google was alerted to the issue in February. It hasn’t done anything about the issue yet. The problem is imminently fixable so hopefully Google gets on that soon.

Google’s exposure notification system on Android may have a flaw in its implementation.
According to a research firm’s findings, privileged system apps could, theoretically, gain access to the data.
Google was alerted to the issue in February.
A potential flaw discovered on Android’s COVID-19 exposure notification system could allow preinstalled apps access to sensitive information. This may include personal details about COVID-19 status, advertising IDs, and other device identifiers.
Privacy research company AppCensus (via
The Verge) outed the issue in a blog post on Tuesday but first alerted Google of the discovery in February.
