Android Framework Integer Overflow Local Privilege Escalation

IdentifiersCVE-2025-48595CWE-190· Integer Overflow or Wraparound

CVE-2025-48595 is a high-severity integer overflow vulnerability in the Android Framework. The published description states that, in multiple locations, an integer overflow can lead to code execution and ultimately local escalation of privilege. Public reporting and bulletin references indicate the issue affects Android 14, 15, 16, and Android 16 QPR2 / 16-qpr2. The vulnerable function or exact code paths are not identified in the provided content beyond the note that the flaw exists in multiple locations within Framework. Google indicated the vulnerability may be under limited, targeted exploitation, and CISA added it to the KEV catalog.

ANALYST BRIEF

Impact, mitigation & remediation

What it means. What to do now. Patch path, mitigations, and the assume-compromise checklist.

Impact

What an attacker gets, and what they’ve been doing with it.

Successful exploitation can provide arbitrary code execution in the context of the vulnerable Android Framework paths and enable local privilege escalation on the device. Given the CVSS vector and reporting in the provided content, the resulting impact is high across confidentiality, integrity, and availability, potentially allowing an attacker to gain elevated system access and broad access to device data and protected resources. The content also indicates exploitation has been observed in limited, targeted attacks.

Mitigation

If you can’t patch tonight, do this now.

Until patches are fully deployed, reduce exposure by limiting installation of untrusted or unverified applications, restricting sideloading, and ensuring Google Play Protect remains enabled on managed devices. In enterprise environments, use MDM/EMM to block non-compliant devices, monitor for anomalous privilege-escalation behavior, and prioritize patch rollout for high-risk users and sensitive device populations. No specific vendor workaround short of patching is provided in the supplied content.

Remediation

Patch, then assume compromise.

Apply the June 2026 Android security updates that address CVE-2025-48595. The provided content indicates fixes are included in the Android Security Bulletin dated 2026-06-01, with full coverage available at security patch level 2026-06-05 or later. For enterprise fleets, deploy the vendor/OEM update as soon as it is available for affected devices running Android 14, 15, 16, or 16 QPR2. Where applicable, enforce a minimum device patch level of 2026-06-05 through MDM/EMM controls.
