Android may limit on-device ADB, affecting developers of Shizuku, libadb, and others

Google is reportedly considering tightening Android’s on-device ADB networking after a wireless ADB vulnerability was found.

One proposed fix would restrict ADB to the Wi‑Fi interface wlan0, blocking localhost loopback and other nonstandard setups.

That could disrupt developer tools and workflows that depend on VPN, Ethernet, or localhost-based ADB connections, including Shizuku and libadb.

The change aims to reduce exposure to CVE-2026-0073, but it may also break some existing debugging configurations.
