How to hide or spoof bootloader info from any app?

Question

I have spent hours trying to perfect build.prop and when I finally was at the end I forgot about this leakage. Any app can easily know device's bootloader info. I realized this when I ran CPU-Z. Installed Magisk and Xposed in systemless mode. Running Lineage OS 14.1. I by no means an expert as it is clearly evident from my question otherwise.



Idea is to hide or fake this information from any app including system apps. But I am failing miserably at achieving this since I have no deep understanding of Android.



I searched Git and XDA but answers were not met with requirement. Final search with keywords "getprop ro.bootloader" shade some light about the fundamental commands about getting this info. I am exhausted right now and I might be not thinking in the right direction so your input matters a lot.



I await your instructions!

For spoofing instead of hiding you may have to use custom hooks. You can ask on the XDA thread of the app or use the pro version of the module to change values globally or on per app basis

Note that this only works if the apps tries to retrieve bootloader status via Java. XPrivacyLua can't do anything if an app uses native code to check the bootloader.
