Android LE device pairing user-interaction bypass privilege escalation
CVE-2026-0097 is a critical Android System component vulnerability caused by a logic error in multiple locations involved in Bluetooth Low Energy (LE) device pairing. The flaw allows required user interaction during LE pairing to be bypassed. According to the Android security bulletin and associated CVE record, successful exploitation can result in remote privilege escalation from a proximal or adjacent attacker position, without requiring additional execution privileges and without user interaction.
