Google’s November 2025 Android Security Bulletin patches a critical remote code execution (RCE) vulnerability in the Android System component. Tracked as CVE-2025-48593, this flaw is a “zero-click” vector, meaning it can be exploited with no user interaction, likely via a specially crafted message.
Business Impact
This is a severe threat to all devices running Android 13, 14, 15, and 16. It allows for complete system compromise remotely, enabling attackers to steal data, install spyware, and monitor all communications on both personal (BYOD) and corporate-owned devices without the user’s knowledge.
Why It Happened
The flaw exists deep within the Android System component, allowing attackers to execute arbitrary code without needing any privileges or user interaction, making it a highly dangerous and effective exploit.
Recommended Executive Action
Direct all employees to install the “2025-11-01” security patch on their Android devices immediately. For corporate-managed (MDM) devices, push this update as a mandatory, high-priority patch. This is the only defense against this type of attack.
