CVE-2026-37525 is a high-severity flaw (CVSS 7.8) affecting automotive grade linux. Below: why it ranks where it does, which versions are affected, what to do, and the exact commands.

AGL app-framework-binder (afb-daemon) through v19.90.0 contains a privilege escalation vulnerability in the supervision Do command. The on_supervision_call function in src/afb-supervision.c explicitly nullifies the request credentials by calling afb_context_change_cred(&xreq->context, NULL) before dispatching an attacker-controlled API call via xapi->itf->call(xapi->closure, xreq). The NULL propagation chain through afb-context.c:110 (context->cr
