Google released stable AndroidX Security State 1.1.0 and Security State Provider 1.0.0, enabling Android applications and enterprise mobility-management tools to determine patch status for individual components rather than relying only on a device's overall security patch date. The framework covers the Android operating system, Google Play-updated modular system components, and the Linux kernel, distinguishing fixes installed on the device from fixes published in Android Security Bulletins and updates available for that specific device.
Security-sensitive applications, including banking and enterprise apps, can use the libraries and Open Source Vulnerabilities database integration to assess exposure at the CVE level and restrict high-risk actions when required fixes are absent. Support for Android 17 Supplemental Patches XML also lets OEMs report backported fixes before a full monthly Security Patch Level update; Google Play system updates and GOTA support parts of the framework, while Google works with manufacturers to standardize OTA-client reporting.

Google released stable AndroidX Security State 1.1.0 and Security State Provider 1.0.0, enabling applications and device-management tools to assess patch status for the Android OS, Play-updated modules, and Linux kernel. The libraries distinguish installed, published, and device-available patch levels and support vulnerability-specific checks using Android Security Bulletin data and the OSV database.

Google has issued its June 2026 Android security updates to fix **113 vulnerabilities**, including **18 critical** flaws and a zero-day tracked as `CVE-2025-48595` that the company said may be under limited, targeted exploitation. The zero-day affects the **Android Framework** and stems from an integer overflow memory-management issue that can enable code execution and potentially full device compromise. The update also addresses vulnerabilities in third-party components from **Qualcomm, MediaTek, and Unisoc**, and Google said devices running Android 10 or later can receive relevant fixes through Google Play services, with patch levels dated **2026-06-05** or later remediating the documented issues. Google also published its June 2026 **XR Security Bulletin**, disclosing a high-severity flaw, `CVE-2026-0072`, in `InputMethodManagerService`. The bug is caused by a missing permission check in `addInputMethodListener` and can allow **local elevation of privilege** without additional execution privileges or user interaction; Google said it could also permit input text to be read without permission. The XR issue is fixed with security patch level **2026-06-01** or later, while full XR protection requires the broader Android June 2026 patch level as well, underscoring the need for enterprises to accelerate deployment of both platform and device-vendor updates.

Google’s September 2026 Android Security Bulletin fixes more than 90 vulnerabilities affecting Android 14, 15, 16, 16 QPR2, and 17. The release rates 26 flaws as **critical** and 68 as high severity, including Android System remote-code-execution vulnerabilities that can be triggered without user interaction or additional execution privileges, depending on the affected CVE. It also addresses critical elevation-of-privilege and denial-of-service issues in the Framework and System, a critical Transparent Inter-Process Communication kernel-component RCE flaw, and defects in kernel, Android TV, and vendor components. Google is distributing patch levels `2026-09-01` and `2026-09-05`; devices at the latter level receive all applicable September fixes, including relevant kernel and vendor patches. Pixel and Samsung Galaxy devices are among the first receiving updates, while availability for other manufacturers may lag. Qualcomm separately released fixes for 14 high-severity vulnerabilities in software used by its mobile, wireless-connectivity, automotive, and computing platforms, which could expose confidential information or disrupt affected services. No active exploitation was reported at publication, but organizations should prioritize deployment of available Android and vendor updates.

Google’s March Android security update addressed **129 vulnerabilities**, including one **actively exploited** high-severity memory-corruption flaw in an open-source **Qualcomm display component** tracked as **CVE-2026-21385**. Google warned the issue “may be under limited, targeted exploitation,” and reporting indicated Qualcomm marked the vulnerability as exploited; Qualcomm stated it provided fixes to customers in **January 2026** and urged end users to apply OEM-delivered device updates as they become available. Separately, the Canadian Centre for Cyber Security issued multiple vendor rollups and advisories on March 2, 2026, including an **Android monthly rollup (AV26-187)** pointing organizations to the Android Security Bulletin for patching guidance. Additional Canadian advisories covered unrelated vulnerability sets in **Veeam Kasten for Kubernetes (AV26-188)**, **VMware Tanzu products (AV26-186)**, **Red Hat (including Linux kernel updates) (AV26-184)**, **CISA ICS advisories for multiple OT/IoT products (AV26-183)**, **Dell infrastructure products (AV26-181)**, and **IBM enterprise software (AV26-180)**; these are general patch-notification items and do not provide details tied to the Android/Qualcomm zero-day beyond directing readers to apply vendor updates.
