Bold values are the worst case: easiest to exploit or largest impact.

Attack Vector: Local: The vulnerable component is not bound to the network stack and the attacker’s path is via read/write/execute capabilities. Either: the attacker exploits the vulnerability by accessing the target system locally (e.g., keyboard, console), or remotely (e.g., SSH); or the attacker relies on User Interaction by another person to perform actions required to exploit the vulnerability (e.g., tricking a legitimate user into opening a malicious document).
Attack Complexity: Low: Specialized access conditions or extenuating circumstances do not exist. An attacker can expect repeatable success against the vulnerable component.
Privileges Required: Low: The attacker is authorized with (i.e., requires) privileges that provide basic user capabilities that could normally affect only settings and files owned by a user. Alternatively, an attacker with Low privileges may have the ability to cause an impact only to non-sensitive resources.
User Interaction: None: The vulnerable system can be exploited without any interaction from any user.
Scope: Unchanged: An exploited vulnerability can only affect resources managed by the same security authority. In this case, the vulnerable component and the impacted component are either the same, or both are managed by the same security authority.
Confidentiality: Low: There is some loss of confidentiality. Access to some restricted information is obtained, but the attacker does not have control over what information is obtained, or the amount or kind of loss is limited. The information disclosure does not cause a direct, serious loss to the impacted component.
Integrity: None: There is no loss of integrity within the impacted component.
Availability: None: There is no impact to availability within the impacted component.

Exploitation evidence

Disclosed: evidence found.
CVE published 4 Sep 2025
Detectable: no evidence on record.
No public nuclei template indexed
Weaponised: no evidence on record.
No public exploit code indexed in Metasploit or Exploit-DB
Exploited in the wildExploited: no evidence on record.
Not in CISA KEV and no source reports exploitation
Observed by OffSeq MirageSeen by Mirage: no evidence on record.
No attack traffic recorded by OffSeq Mirage sensors

A missing step is not evidence of safety. Sources: cve.org (opens in a new tab), the Metasploit, Exploit-DB and nuclei-templates index as of 2026-10-26.

Disclosed: The CVE record is public on cve.org. Its publication is t = 0.
Detectable: A public nuclei template can find exposed instances, for defenders and attackers alike.
Weaponised: Public exploit code exists in Metasploit or Exploit-DB, or CISA SSVC reports a public proof of concept.
Exploited in the wild: CISA KEV lists it, CISA SSVC rates exploitation active, or a source reports attacks.
Observed by OffSeq Mirage: OffSeq Mirage honeypot sensors recorded attack traffic for this CVE, or found exposed hosts without attack traffic.

Moments are spaced evenly, not to scale; a dashed line marks a gap of six months or more. Deltas count from t = 0. Sources that give only a date (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, or a time of exactly 00:00Z) read “same day” rather than hours. Metasploit modules carry the flaw’s disclosure date, not their release date, and nuclei templates carry no date, so both appear above but not on the timeline.

AI-suggested

To mitigate CVE-2025-0076, European organizations should ensure that all Android devices are updated to the latest available security patches as soon as Google releases fixes addressing this vulnerability. Until patches are available, organizations should limit physical and local access to Android devices, especially those used in multi-user contexts. Implementing strict device usage policies and employing mobile device management (MDM) solutions can help enforce user separation and monitor for suspicious local activity. Additionally, organizations should audit multi-user configurations on Android devices to minimize unnecessary user accounts and restrict access rights appropriately. For environments where shared devices are necessary, consider deploying custom lockdown or kiosk modes that limit user switching or access to other users' data. Finally, raising user awareness about the risks of shared device usage and enforcing strong authentication mechanisms can reduce the likelihood of exploitation.

Description

In multiple locations, there is a possible way to view icons belonging to another user due to a missing permission check. This could lead to local information disclosure with no additional execution privileges needed. User interaction is not needed for exploitation.

Impact

For European organizations, the direct impact of CVE-2025-0076 is relatively limited due to its low severity and local scope. However, in environments where Android devices are shared among multiple users—such as in corporate settings with shared devices, kiosks, or public terminals—this vulnerability could lead to inadvertent leakage of user-specific information. Although the disclosed information (icons) may seem trivial, it could potentially be used as part of a larger reconnaissance effort to profile users or infer usage patterns. This could be a privacy concern under regulations like GDPR, especially if combined with other data. The vulnerability does not allow privilege escalation or remote exploitation, so the risk to critical infrastructure or sensitive systems is minimal. Nonetheless, organizations with strict data privacy requirements should consider this vulnerability as part of their overall mobile device security posture. The lack of user interaction requirement means that an attacker with local access could exploit this silently, which may be relevant in insider threat scenarios or in environments with less physical security.

The product does not perform an authorization check when an actor attempts to access a resource or perform an action.
Architecture and Design
Divide the product into anonymous, normal, privileged, and administrative areas. Reduce the attack surface by carefully mapping roles with data and functionality. Use role-based access control (RBAC) to enforce the roles at the appropriate boundaries.
Architecture and Design
Ensure that access control checks are performed related to the business logic. These checks may be different than the access control checks that are applied to more generic resources such as files, connections, processes, memory, and database records.

Use a vetted library or framework that does not allow this weakness to occur or provides constructs that make this weakness easier to avoid.
