What should I do about it?
Install the Android security update for the 15, 16, 16-qpr2 or 17 branch that matches the device's version. No workaround is listed in the checked facts.Source: source.android.com
Is it being exploited?
It is not in CISA's Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog, and CISA's SSVC assessment does not mark exploitation as active. That does not mean it has not been attacked: vendors and researchers can report attacks before CISA lists them. No public exploit code is tracked.Source: cve.now feed data
