The Magisk software was created by John Wu, aka XDA Recognized developer topjohnwu. The project started as a systemless root method but has gradually transitioned into something better. By something better, we mean something beyond the usual superuser privilege provider as the contributors have worked to perfect the system. A new version of Magisk is now available. You can now download Magisk v25.0 which comes with improved SELinux handling.
When you download Magisk V25.0, the first thing noticed of the update is the rewritten MagiskInit software. The MagiskInit binary is capable of replacing the stock init process as the first program to run, injecting Magisk services into init.rc, and patching SELinux policy rules. As users download Magisk V25.0, it is with fixing SELinux-related compatibilities. In addition, the new version now supports Android 13’s Generic kernel image.
Adding to the compatibility improvements, there are also security enhancements to the MagiskSU component. Meanwhile, here is the official changelog of the Magisk V25:
