Google fixes actively exploited Android zero-day CVE-2025-48595 in June 2026 security update

Google released Android security updates that fix an actively exploited flaw affecting devices running Android 14 and later. The zero-day, CVE-2025-48595, is a high-severity Android Framework vulnerability that Google says has seen limited targeted exploitation and can let a local attacker achieve code execution and privilege escalation. The June 2026 bulletins also patch 124 vulnerabilities in total, including 18 critical issues across Framework, System, Qualcomm components, and other closed-source and kernel-related parts.
Why it matters: People and organizations using Android devices may be exposed to a flaw already being used in real attacks, even if only in targeted cases. Apply the June 2026 Android security update as soon as your device vendor makes it available, with particular urgency for Pixel users and higher-risk targets.
