Google fixed 124 Android flaws, including CVE-2025-48595, an actively exploited privilege escalation bug linked to targeted attacks.<\/h2>\n

Google has released its June 2026 Android security updates, fixing 124 vulnerabilities across the mobile operating system. One flaw, tracked as CVE-2025-48595 (CVSS score of 8.4) stands out from the rest because it is already being exploited in attacks in the wild.<\/p>\n

The vulnerability affects devices running Android 14, 15, 16, and Android 16 QPR2. According to Google and the Android Security Bulletin, the issue is caused by an integer overflow that can lead to code execution and privilege escalation on a vulnerable device. An attacker could exploit the flaw to gain elevated access to the system without requiring additional privileges.<\/p>\n

Google has confirmed that there are indications the flaw is being exploited in what it describes as \u201climited, targeted exploitation.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are indications that CVE-2025-48595 may be under limited, targeted exploitation.\u201d reads the advisory.<\/p>\n

The company has not disclosed who is behind the attacks, how many victims may have been affected, or how the vulnerability is being delivered. <\/p>\n

That lack of detail is not unusual. When Google uses the phrase \u201climited, targeted exploitation,\u201d it typically refers to attacks against a small number of carefully selected targets rather than mass exploitation campaigns. In previous Android cases, vulnerabilities carrying the same wording were later linked to commercial spyware vendors or state-sponsored operations targeting journalists, political figures, dissidents, executives, and government officials. <\/p>\n

At this stage, there is no public evidence connecting CVE-2025-48595 to a specific threat actor. However, several indicators point toward a sophisticated attack…<\/p>\n
