CVE-2025-48562 is a medium-severity information disclosure vulnerability affecting Google Android versions 13 through 16. The flaw exists in the writeContent method of the RemotePrintDocument.java component, where a logic error can lead to unintended exposure of local information. Exploitation requires user interaction but no additional execution privileges, meaning a local user could potentially trigger the vulnerability by interacting with the affected functionality. The vulnerability is categorized under CWE-209, which relates to information exposure through error messages or improper handling of sensitive data. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 5.0, reflecting a scenario where the attacker must have local access (AV:L), low attack complexity (AC:L), some privileges (PR:L), and user interaction (UI:R). The impact is limited to confidentiality (C:H), with no integrity or availability impact. No known exploits are currently reported in the wild, and no patches have been linked yet. The vulnerability could allow an attacker to gain access to sensitive local information, which might include user data or system details, potentially aiding further attacks or privacy violations.

For European organizations, this vulnerability poses a moderate risk primarily to confidentiality of data on Android devices used within the enterprise or by employees. Since Android is widely used across Europe for both personal and business purposes, sensitive corporate or personal information stored or processed on affected devices could be exposed if exploited. The requirement for user interaction reduces the risk of widespread automated exploitation but does not eliminate targeted attacks such as phishing or social engineering to trick users into triggering the vulnerability. Organizations handling sensitive personal data under GDPR must be particularly cautious, as any unauthorized data disclosure could lead to regulatory penalties and reputational damage. The vulnerability could also be leveraged as a stepping stone for more complex attacks if combined with other vulnerabilities or malware.

1. Monitor official Google Android security bulletins and apply patches promptly once available, as no patch links are currently provided. 2. Educate users about the risks of interacting with untrusted print jobs or documents, especially from unknown sources, to reduce the likelihood of triggering the vulnerability. 3. Implement mobile device management (MDM) solutions to enforce security policies, restrict installation of untrusted applications, and control device usage. 4. Limit local user privileges where possible to reduce the impact scope, even though this vulnerability requires only low privileges. 5. Employ endpoint detection and response (EDR) tools capable of monitoring suspicious local activities related to printing or document handling. 6. Regularly audit and review Android device configurations and installed applications to minimize exposure to potentially malicious content that could exploit this vulnerability.
