Description

CVE-2025-48613 is a vulnerability in the VBMeta component of Google Android SoC devices. It allows an attacker with local access to modify and resign the VBMeta image using a test key, provided the original image was signed with the same key. This can lead to local escalation of privilege without requiring additional execution privileges or user interaction. The vulnerability has a high severity rating with a CVSS score of 7. 8.

Technical Analysis

This vulnerability involves the VBMeta verification process in Android SoC devices, where an attacker can modify and resign the VBMeta image using a test key if the original image was signed with that key. Exploiting this flaw enables local privilege escalation without needing further execution privileges or user interaction. The CVSS vector indicates low attack complexity and privileges required, no user interaction, and high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability.

Potential Impact

Successful exploitation allows a local attacker to escalate privileges on the affected Android device, potentially compromising system integrity, confidentiality, and availability. No additional execution privileges or user interaction are required, increasing the risk of exploitation in environments where local access is possible.

Mitigation Recommendations

Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. No official patch or workaround information is provided at this time. Until a fix is available, limit local access to affected devices and monitor for any updates from Google regarding remediation.
