CVE-2025-48561 is an Android side-channel information disclosure vulnerability, referred to as Pixnapping, that allows a malicious local application to infer and reconstruct sensitive content displayed on the device screen. The issue arises from side-channel leakage in the Android graphics and display pipeline on modern devices, and reported attack chains combine Android app invocation behavior, graphical blur operations, rendering behavior, timing observations, and the GPU.zip side channel to recover pixels from content rendered by other applications. Researchers demonstrated reconstruction of visible screen data from applications such as authenticators, messaging clients, email, mapping, and financial applications. The vulnerability affects modern Android devices, with testing reported on Android 13 through 16 and particularly on several Google Pixel models, while reliability varied across hardware platforms.

A high-severity Android vulnerability that enables a malicious app with no special permissions to reconstruct screen contents pixel by pixel using Android APIs, blur effects, VSync timing, and the GPU.zip side channel, exposing sensitive data such as seed phrases and 2FA codes.
A side-channel vulnerability in modern Android devices that enables the Pixnapping pixel-stealing attack, allowing a malicious app to infer and reconstruct information displayed on the screen of other apps.
An Android side-channel attack technique dubbed Pixnapping that abuses Android APIs, pixel rendering, blur operations, and the GPU.Zip side channel to steal sensitive on-screen data such as 2FA codes, messages, emails, and app content without requiring abusive permissions.
