AI-suggested
A server-side mitigation has been deployed by LY Corporation that protects existing Android clients even if they are not updated to version 26.7.2. Users are advised to update to version 26.7.2 or later when possible. Since the vendor has implemented a server-side fix, no immediate action is required for unpatched clients, but updating the app remains best practice.
Description
CVE-2026-16881 is a code injection vulnerability in the LINE Android app prior to version 26.7.2. The flaw exists in the profile rendering component, which does not properly validate or sandbox script content embedded in profile templates. This allows an attacker who can place crafted content in a profile to execute unintended code with the app's privileges when a victim views that profile. A server-side mitigation has been deployed that protects even unpatched Android clients.
