CVE-2025-48651 is a high-severity vulnerability in the StrongBox component affecting implementations from Google, NXP, STMicroelectronics, and Thales. The flaw is described as improper input validation in the importWrappedKey functionality of KMKeymasterApplet.java, creating a path to access cryptographic keys that should remain restricted. StrongBox provides hardware-backed protection for highly sensitive keys on Android devices, so weaknesses in wrapped-key import handling can undermine key isolation guarantees. The issue can be exploited locally, does not require user interaction, and does not require additional execution privileges beyond local code execution in the relevant context.
