<blockquote>
<p dir="auto">A newly disclosed attack chain can potentially let someone with physical access to a locked Android phone browse its photo gallery through an incoming WhatsApp video call.<br />
The path is essentially:<br />
WhatsApp call → Effects → Backgrounds → Meta AI → Edit Photo → Gallery<br />
No PIN, pattern, or biometric authentication is required once the vulnerable path is available.<br />
Testing found the behavior on some Pixel and Oppo devices, while Samsung's One UI blocked the same path with authentication.</p>
