CVE-2026-16881
A code injection vulnerability exists in the LINE Android app prior to version 26.7.2. The profile rendering component does not adequately validate or sandbox externally supplied script content embedded in profile templates. As a result, an attacker who is able to place crafted content in a profile could cause unintended code to execute with the application's privileges when a victim views that profile. A server-side mitigation has been deployed that also protects existing Android clients that have not been updated to version 26.7.2.
No public exploitation has been reported so far. No distribution fix is listed yet; apply vendor mitigations and monitor.
Recommended action: Track your distribution's security tracker and apply the fix as soon as it ships.

Affected & fixed versions by distribution
Versions are the native distribution strings (backport-aware): RHEL/Debian/SUSE backport fixes, so compare with the distro version comparator (dpkg / rpm / vercmp), not the upstream version.
No affected package in the tracked watchlist yet (Debian, Ubuntu, Arch, SUSE, Red Hat...). Triage may still be pending.
