A patch for the original vulnerability is already public: https://android.googlesource.com/platform/frameworks/native/... and explicitly states in the commit message that it tries to defeat "pixel stealing by measuring how long it takes to perform a blur across windows."

The researchers aren't releasing their code because they found a workaround to the patch.

Then there's a bunch of "no GPU vendor has committed to patching GPU.zip" and "Google has not committed to patching our app list bypass vulnerability. They resolved our report as “Won’t fix (Infeasible)”."

And their original disclosure was on February 24, 2025, so I don't think you can accuse them of being too impatient.

As for "This app will take periodic screenshots of your phone", you still need an exploit to screenshot things that are explicitly excluded from screenshots (even if the user really wants to screenshot them.)
