Impact

In multiple functions of AccessibilityManagerService.java, improper input validation allows an application to trigger a persistent denial of service. The flaw does not require elevated privileges and does not need any user interaction; once exploited it can render the accessibility framework unresponsive, potentially causing application crashes or service unavailability.

Affected Systems

This weakness affects Android devices running Google’s Android operating system. The specific affected releases are not listed in the data, but the issue is documented in the 2026‑06‑01 Android security bulletin and applies to all services that invoke the vulnerable AccessibilityManagerService API.

Risk and Exploitability

The vulnerability is a local denial of service; an attacker must have local access to the device or be able to execute code that can call the malfunctioning API. The CVSS score of 5.5 indicates moderate severity. No exploit probability score is available, and it is not listed in CISA’s KEV catalog. The impact is significant for device stability and user experience, but the attack requires only local execution without a direct user interaction. The risk is therefore moderate to high for users unable to apply the security update promptly.

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Apply the Android security update for CVE‑2026‑0018 as detailed in the Android security bulletin
  • Review and harden the input validation of AccessibilityManagerService methods to comply with CWE‑20 guidelines
  • If immediate update is not possible, disable or limit the use of affected accessibility services to prevent exploitation
  • Monitor system logs for repeated crashes of AccessibilityManagerService and consider reverting to a known stable configuration if instability persists
