The proposal, discussed on Google\u0026#39;s IssueTracker, suggests restricting binding to the Wi-Fi interface wlan0 only. That would block connections made through the localhost loopback address, which is how a device establishes an ADB connection to itself.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe request follows the discovery of CVE-2026-0073, a vulnerability that lets attackers bypass wireless ADB authentication entirely. A Google engineer, who is a core ADB maintainer, floated the wlan0 restriction as a countermeasure. Developer Kitsumed, who highlighted the discussion, argues the fix is too broad. It would also break VPN-based ADB, Ethernet-based ADB, and other specialized setups that rely on selecting a network interface.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKitsumed notes the vulnerability cannot be exploited by a malicious app alone; it requires a human to perform multiple manual steps. He opposes restricting all options in response.\u003c/p\u003e","blueskyPost":"Shizuku and libadb rely on on-device ADB loopback, which Google's proposed restriction would block.
