Technical details
A denial of service vulnerability exists in the Android Framework within the AccessibilityManagerService.java component. The flaw is caused by improper input validation across multiple functions within the service. A local attacker can exploit this without any special execution privileges or user interaction to trigger a persistent denial of service state. The vulnerability is addressed in the June 2026 Android Security Bulletin for AOSP versions 15, 16, and 16-qpr2. While the NVD entry lists the severity as 'info', the primary vendor (Android) has classified this as 'High' severity.
