CVE-2025-32329 is a vulnerability identified in Google Android operating system versions 13, 14, and 15, specifically within multiple functions of the Session.java file. The root cause is a logic error that improperly enforces access controls, enabling a local user to view images belonging to other users on the same device. This vulnerability constitutes an elevation of privilege because it allows a user with standard local access to bypass user boundaries and access private data of other users without requiring additional execution privileges or user interaction. The flaw is inherent to the session management logic, which fails to correctly isolate user data in multi-user environments. Since Android supports multiple user profiles, this vulnerability can lead to confidentiality breaches by exposing sensitive images across profiles. The vulnerability does not require network access or authentication beyond local device access, making it exploitable by any user with physical or local access to the device. No CVSS score has been assigned yet, and no known exploits have been reported in the wild. The vulnerability was reserved in April 2025 and published in December 2025, indicating a recent discovery. The absence of patch links suggests that fixes may still be pending or in development. This vulnerability is significant due to the widespread use of Android devices in Europe and the increasing adoption of multi-user device scenarios in enterprise and personal contexts.

For European organizations, this vulnerability poses a risk primarily to confidentiality, as it allows unauthorized local users to access images belonging to other users on the same device. This could lead to exposure of sensitive or personal information, potentially violating data protection regulations such as GDPR. The integrity and availability of the system are less directly impacted, but the breach of confidentiality alone can have severe reputational and compliance consequences. Organizations that deploy shared Android devices in environments like education, healthcare, or corporate settings are particularly vulnerable. The ease of exploitation—requiring no user interaction or additional privileges—means that insider threats or unauthorized users with physical access could exploit this vulnerability stealthily. Although no remote exploitation is possible, the local nature of the threat necessitates strict device control policies. The lack of known exploits in the wild provides a window for proactive mitigation before active attacks emerge.

1. Monitor official Google Android security advisories closely and apply patches immediately once they become available for affected versions (13, 14, 15). 2. Until patches are released, restrict physical and local access to Android devices, especially those configured with multiple user profiles. 3. Implement strict device usage policies that limit or eliminate multi-user scenarios on Android devices in sensitive environments. 4. Use Mobile Device Management (MDM) solutions to enforce user profile restrictions and monitor for anomalous access patterns. 5. Educate users and administrators about the risks of shared device usage and the importance of safeguarding local accounts. 6. Consider disabling or limiting image sharing and access permissions between user profiles where feasible. 7. Conduct regular audits of device configurations and user profiles to detect potential unauthorized access. 8. Prepare incident response plans that include procedures for local privilege escalation incidents on mobile devices.
