A novel tapjacking technique can exploit user interface animations to bypass Android's permission system and allow access to sensitive data or trick users into performing destructive actions, such as wiping the device. Unlike traditional, overlay-based tapjacking, TapTrap attacks work even with zero-permission apps to launch a harmless transparent activity on top of a malicious one, a behavior that remains unmitigated in Android 15 and 16.
