Google Weighs Restricting Local ADB, Threatening Shizuku on Android

The article discusses a Google proposal to restrict local ADB connections on Android as a response to security concerns highlighted by CVE-2026-0073 (an authentication bypass in wireless ADB that could let an adjacent-network attacker run code as the shell user). It explains how blocking localhost ADB would reduce attack surface but would break legitimate on-device workflows (e.g., Shizuku, Termux, on-device ADB clients) and summarises developer pushback and a proposed compromise to disable the feature by default while providing a persistent toggle for advanced users.
