Privilege Management: Overriding Permission Verification

Some functions may enable a programmer to be able to override the permissions specified by a user on an Android device at certain times.

Some functions may enable a programmer to specify an explicit value for whether permission was allowed. This can then be abused to violate what the user wants and still assume the permission was given.

Example 1: The following code asks permission to use the user's location on Android while using WebView, yet uses the user's location whether or not permission to do so is granted. This is achieved by manually invoking the callback with true to specify that permission was given:

public void onGeolocationPermissionsShowPrompt(String origin, GeolocationPermissions$Callback callback){
  super.onGeolocationPermissionsShowPrompt(origin, callback);
  callback.invoke(origin, true, false);
}
