CVE-2025-0093 is a security vulnerability identified in the Google Android operating system, specifically affecting versions 12 through 15, including 12L. The flaw exists in the handleBondStateChanged method within the AdapterService.java component, which is part of the Bluetooth stack responsible for managing bonded device states. The vulnerability arises due to a missing permission check, which allows unauthorized access to sensitive data during the handling of Bluetooth bond state changes. This lack of proper access control means that an attacker could remotely trigger information disclosure without needing elevated execution privileges. However, exploitation requires user interaction, implying that the victim must perform some action, such as accepting a Bluetooth pairing request or interacting with a malicious Bluetooth device. Although no known exploits are currently reported in the wild, the vulnerability's presence in core Android versions used widely across devices makes it a significant concern. The absence of a CVSS score suggests that the vulnerability has not yet been fully assessed in terms of severity, but the technical details indicate a medium to high risk due to the potential for unauthorized data exposure and the broad user base affected.

For European organizations, the impact of CVE-2025-0093 could be substantial, especially for those relying heavily on Android devices for business operations, communications, and data access. Information disclosure vulnerabilities can lead to leakage of sensitive corporate or personal data, potentially exposing confidential information such as contact lists, device identifiers, or other Bluetooth-related metadata. This could facilitate further targeted attacks, social engineering, or espionage activities. Given the requirement for user interaction, phishing or social engineering campaigns could be leveraged to trick employees into initiating the vulnerable Bluetooth interactions. The impact is particularly critical for sectors handling sensitive data, such as finance, healthcare, and government institutions, where data confidentiality is paramount. Additionally, the widespread use of Android devices in Europe means that a large number of endpoints could be vulnerable, increasing the attack surface and risk of data breaches.

To mitigate CVE-2025-0093, European organizations should implement a multi-layered approach beyond generic patching advice. First, prioritize updating all Android devices to the latest patched versions once Google releases an official fix, as this vulnerability affects multiple recent Android versions. Until patches are available, organizations should enforce strict Bluetooth usage policies, including disabling Bluetooth on devices when not in use and restricting pairing with unknown or untrusted devices. Employ Mobile Device Management (MDM) solutions to centrally control Bluetooth settings and monitor device compliance. Educate users about the risks of interacting with unsolicited Bluetooth pairing requests and train them to recognize suspicious behavior. Additionally, consider deploying network-level controls to detect anomalous Bluetooth-related traffic where feasible. For highly sensitive environments, evaluate the possibility of restricting or isolating Android devices to minimize exposure. Finally, maintain vigilant monitoring for any signs of exploitation attempts or unusual data access patterns related to Bluetooth services.
