+# Xiaomi Android Devices Multiple Vulnerabilities Across Apps and System Components - 20240507002
+
+## Overview
+
+Multiple security vulnerabilities have been disclosed in various applications and system components within Xiaomi devices running Android. These vulnerabilities could lead to accessing arbitrary activities, receivers and services with system privileges; theft of arbitrary files with system privileges, disclosure of phone settings and Xiaomi account data.
+
+## What is vulnerable?

+Some of the notable flaws include a shell command injection bug impacting the System Tracing app and flaws in the Settings app that could enable theft of arbitrary files as well as leak information about Bluetooth devices, connected Wi-Fi networks, and emergency contacts.
