Description
In multiple locations, there is a possible way to bypass user interaction when pairing an LE device due to a logic error. This could lead to remote (proximal/adjacent) escalation of privilege with no additional execution privileges needed. User interaction is not needed for exploitation.

AI Analysis

Impact

A logic error in Android’s handling of Bluetooth Low Energy pairing allows a device to accept a pairing request without user interaction, enabling an attacker who is in physical proximity to elevate privileges on the target device. The flaw does not require additional execution privileges and can be triggered from an adjacent Bluetooth‑enabled device, allowing an attacker to assume higher rights on the victim phone without any visible prompt.

Affected Systems

The vulnerability affects Android devices, including all models that implement the affected Bluetooth Low Energy pairing logic. No specific OS or firmware versions were listed in the advisory, so all devices that currently run the unpatched pairing routine are potentially impacted.

Risk and Exploitability

The exploit can be carried out remotely from an adjacent device, eliminating the need for social engineering or user interaction. The CVSS score of 8 indicates a high severity level. The EPSS score is not reported, and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog, but the high CVSS score and proximity-based exploit still warrant immediate attention.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Obtain and install the latest Android security patch that contains the fix for this pairing logic bug, as announced in Google’s security bulletin for June 2026.
  • If a patch is not yet available, disable automatic Bluetooth pairing and require explicit user confirmation for all pairing requests to prevent unintended device connections.
  • Use device management or enterprise mobility tools to restrict Bluetooth usage and monitor pairing events, reducing the window during which an attacker can exploit the vulnerability until a patch is applied.
