Severity by source
AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
Bluetooth is proximity-bound so AV:A (adjacent) rather than AV:N; no pairing/consent needed (PR:N/UI:N), and bypassing bonding yields full trusted-peer access (C/I/A:H).
Primary rating from Vendor (android).

Lifecycle Timeline
6DescriptionCVE.org
In handleBondStateChanged of AdapterService.java, there is a possible way to skip pairing due to a logic error in the code. This could lead to remote escalation of privilege without user consent with no additional execution privileges needed. User interaction is not needed for exploitation.
AnalysisAI
Remote privilege escalation in the Android Bluetooth stack (AdapterService.java) allows an attacker to bypass device pairing entirely. A logic error in handleBondStateChanged lets a bond be treated as established without the normal pairing/consent flow, granting the attacker elevated privileges on Android 15, 16, 16-qpr2, and 17 with no user interaction. …

Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires the target's Bluetooth to be enabled and the attacker to be within Bluetooth radio range and able to initiate a bonding exchange with the device; the pairing/consent step is what is bypassed, so no user approval and no prior authentication (PR:N/UI:N) are needed. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The signals conflict sharply and should be read together. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in. |
| Remediation | Apply the Android Security Bulletin update dated 2026-09-01 (security patch level 2026-09-01 or later) as soon as it is available for your devices; this AOSP fix corrects the bond-state handling in AdapterService and is the primary and complete remediation (https://source.android.com/docs/security/bulletin/2026/2026-09-01). … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
Recommended ActionAI
Within 24 hours: Inventory all Android devices across the organization, identify those running Android 15, 16, 16-qpr2, or 17, and assess Bluetooth usage requirements. …
