CVE-2025-26443 is a high-severity local elevation-of-privilege vulnerability in the Android System component affecting Android 13, 14, and 15. The flaw is described as a logic error in parseHtml within HtmlToSpannedParser.java that can allow application installation without properly enforcing the platform restriction on installation from unknown sources. Successful exploitation requires user interaction but does not require additional execution privileges. The vulnerability stems from incorrect security decision-making in HTML parsing and installation-related handling, enabling bypass of intended platform protections and resulting in privilege escalation.
