🎯 Content Summary

Root My Pixel is an Android application and proof-of-concept exploit wrapper that automates temporary root access on specific Google Pixel 10 device/build combinations. According to the repository, it uses the NebuSec IonStack exploit identified as CVE-2026-43499, obtains full local root privileges, and then integrates ReSukiSU / KernelSU through KernelSU's late-load mechanism. The repository provides the Android...

🔧 Technical Details

Exact target profiling before kernel exploitation: build-specific kernel payloads should only be selected after fingerprinting the target. Collect the device codename, build display ID, kernel version, CPU ABI, and memory page size through JNI, system properties, and files such as /proc/version. Compare the result with explicit payload profiles, such as entries in assets/profiles.json, and abort when no exact profile matches. This reduces the risk of executing offsets or binaries intended for another firmware or kernel configuration.

Using Shizuku as an Android exploit-staging bridge: an application without root can use Shizuku to execute operations as Android's ADB shell account, UID 2000. This context can place and launch native exploit components from /data/local/tmp. A Binder-bound service can manage the execution and stream logs to the normal application UI, separating the user-faci...

🤖 Agent Actions

Done — I updated:

• src/mobile-pentesting/android-app-pentesting/shizuku-privileged-api.md

What I added:

• A new subsection on build-specific kernel exploit staging via Shizuku
• Exact-target profiling ideas: codename/build ID/kernel/ABI/page size
• /data/local/tmp payload staging from UID 2000 (shell)
• Converting one-shot kernel EoP into a reusable local root socket/channel
• KernelSU late-load with ksud late-load --kmi <kmi>
• Verification artifacts: /dev/kernelsu, /sys/kernel/kernelsu, /data/adb/ksu
• Detection ideas tied to this workflow
• The blog/repo URL in References

I chose the Shizuku page because the blog does not expose the low-level CVE/kernel primitive, but it does add useful technique-level content about Shizuku-based exploit staging and post-root handoff, which fits there best.
