CVE-2026-0097 is a critical Android System vulnerability caused by a logic error in multiple locations involved in Bluetooth Low Energy (LE) device pairing. The flaw allows required user interaction during LE pairing to be bypassed, enabling an attacker in proximal or adjacent radio range to trigger privilege escalation without requiring additional execution privileges. The issue is classified as a remote, adjacent attack against the Android System component and affects the pairing workflow rather than requiring prior code execution on the target device.
