CVE-2026-0072 is an Android XR elevation-of-privilege vulnerability in com.android.server.inputmethod.InputMethodManagerService, specifically in the addInputMethodListener method. The flaw is caused by a missing permission check, resulting in improper authorization around registration or use of an input method listener. An attacker can exploit this authorization weakness to gain access beyond intended restrictions. Available reporting indicates the issue may allow input text to be read without permission, making the vulnerability particularly sensitive because it affects data handled by the input method framework. The issue is documented as affecting AOSP version 14 and classified as High severity.
