If this is not immediately feasible, temporary mitigation can be achieved by implementing a Web Application Firewall (WAF) or Intrusion Detection System (IDS) to monitor, identify, and block malicious activity. However, this should be considered a stopgap measure until the patch can be applied, as it may not fully protect against all potential exploits.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Overview The vulnerability, CVE-2025-32326, is a security loophole present in multiple functions of AppRestrictionsFragment.java.
