Threat Score
A lock-screen bypass in WhatsApp for Android lets anyone with physical access to a locked phone answer a video call, open the in-call effects menu, use the Meta AI backgrounds "Edit photo" flow, and view the device's entire photo gallery without authentication; Pixel 6 Pro and Oppo K13 were shown vulnerable, iPhones are unaffected, and a permissions change limiting WhatsApp's gallery access is recommended until a patch is released.
