What is CVE-2025-48526?

A security flaw in the ChooserActivity component of the Android operating system allows for potential local escalation of privilege through improper input validation. This vulnerability can be exploited by enabling an app to launch the ChooserActivity in an unintended profile, bypassing security mechanisms. Notably, no additional execution privileges are required, and user interaction is not necessary for exploitation, which raises significant security concerns regarding app protections within the Android ecosystem.
