CVE-2025-48595: Elevation of privilege in Google Android
In multiple locations, there is a possible way to achieve code execution due to an integer overflow. This could lead to local escalation of privilege with no additional execution privileges needed. User interaction is not needed for exploitation.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
This vulnerability arises from integer overflow conditions in multiple locations within the Android operating system, which may lead to code execution. Exploiting this flaw can result in local escalation of privilege, allowing an attacker to gain higher privileges on the device without needing prior execution privileges or user interaction. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 8.4, reflecting high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The affected versions include Android 14, 15, 16, and 16-qpr2. No official remediation or patch has been confirmed at this time, and no known exploits are reported in the wild.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability can lead to local privilege escalation on affected Android devices, potentially allowing an attacker to execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges. This impacts confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the device. No user interaction is required, increasing the risk of exploitation in local attack scenarios. However, there are no known active exploits in the wild as of the publication date.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Since no official fix or remediation level is provided, users and administrators should monitor Google's security advisories for updates. Until a patch is available, limiting local access to trusted users and avoiding untrusted applications may reduce risk.
