CVE-2025-22407 is a medium-severity vulnerability affecting Google Android version 15, specifically within the Bluetooth HID daemon component (hidd_conn.cc). The flaw arises from a use-after-free condition in the function hidd_check_config_done, which can be exploited to cause local information disclosure. A use-after-free vulnerability occurs when a program continues to use a pointer after the memory it points to has been freed, potentially leading to undefined behavior including arbitrary code execution or data leakage. In this case, although the description mentions a possible path to arbitrary code execution, the confirmed impact is local information disclosure without requiring additional execution privileges. Notably, exploitation does not require user interaction, increasing the risk of automated or stealthy attacks. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 5.5, reflecting a medium severity level, with attack vector Local (AV:L), low attack complexity (AC:L), requiring low privileges (PR:L), no user interaction (UI:N), unchanged scope (S:U), high confidentiality impact (C:H), and no impact on integrity or availability (I:N, A:N). This vulnerability is classified under CWE-416 (Use After Free). No known exploits are currently reported in the wild, and no patches have been linked yet. The vulnerability could be leveraged by a local attacker or malicious app with limited privileges to access sensitive information from the affected Android device, potentially compromising user privacy or leaking confidential data stored or processed by the Bluetooth HID service.

For European organizations, the impact of CVE-2025-22407 primarily concerns the confidentiality of sensitive information on Android devices running version 15. Many enterprises use Android smartphones and tablets for business communications, mobile workforce management, and secure access to corporate resources. A local attacker or malicious application exploiting this vulnerability could extract sensitive data from the device without user consent or awareness. This could lead to leakage of corporate emails, credentials, or proprietary information, especially if devices are used to access or store sensitive business data. Although the vulnerability does not directly affect system integrity or availability, the confidentiality breach could facilitate further attacks such as social engineering or lateral movement within corporate networks. The lack of required user interaction increases the risk of automated exploitation by malware or compromised apps. Given the widespread adoption of Android devices in Europe, this vulnerability poses a tangible risk to organizations relying on Android 15 devices, particularly those with less stringent mobile device management (MDM) policies or insufficient app vetting procedures.

To mitigate CVE-2025-22407 effectively, European organizations should: 1) Prioritize updating Android devices to patched versions as soon as Google releases a fix, monitoring official Google security bulletins and Android security updates. 2) Implement strict mobile device management (MDM) policies that enforce installation of only trusted applications from verified sources, reducing the risk of local exploitation by malicious apps. 3) Restrict local access to devices by enforcing strong authentication mechanisms such as biometrics or PINs to prevent unauthorized physical access. 4) Employ runtime application self-protection (RASP) or endpoint detection and response (EDR) solutions capable of detecting anomalous behavior indicative of exploitation attempts targeting Bluetooth services. 5) Educate users about the risks of installing untrusted apps and the importance of timely system updates. 6) For high-security environments, consider disabling Bluetooth HID services if not required, reducing the attack surface. These measures go beyond generic advice by focusing on controlling local access, app vetting, and proactive monitoring tailored to the nature of this vulnerability.
