Android Framework Integer Overflow Vulnerability (CVE-2025-48595)
Severity Assessment
- Exploitability: 7/10 — The bug sits in Android Framework code paths and is described as a high-severity issue in the 2026-06-01 bulletin stream.
- Impact: 8/10 — A successful exploitation can elevate privilege boundaries and open access to additional protected system functionality.
- Weaponization Risk: 7/10 — The issue is in CISA KEV and notes limited, targeted exploitation signals.
- Patch Urgency: 8/10 — The issue is patched in the 2026-06-01 stream, and affected branches should be remediated quickly.
- Detection Coverage: 5/10 — Framework-level integer abuse can be hard to observe without deeper telemetry, but process and patch checks increase confidence.
Summary
CVE-2025-48595 is a high-severity Android Framework integer-overflow issue that allows privilege escalation under conditions described in the June 2026 Android security bulletin. Android lists affected platforms in Android 14, 15, 16, and 16-qpr2.
The entry is included in the CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog, and the same bulletin explicitly warns that there are indications of limited, targeted exploitation.
Exploit Chain
Stage 1: Reach a vulnerable Framework path
An external actor must interact with a Framework operation that reaches affected integer-handling logic.
Stage 2: Trigger arithmetic state corruption
The integer-boundary condition can be abused to alter expected state assumptions used in authorization or privilege enforcement paths.
Stage 3: Execute privileged outcomes
Successful state corruption can result in elevated system behavior for the attacker-controlled path, creating unauthorized follow-on capability.
Detection Guidance
- Track Android devices missing the 2026-06-01 patch level and prioritize remediation.
- Monitor Framework crash patterns and abnormal privilege-boundary transitions after suspicious application activity.
- Improve detection on system service and SQLite-related Framework call paths for anomalous behavior.
- Enforce patch-level controls in enterprise mobile management to prevent unpatched devices from remaining active.
Indicators of Compromise
- Unexpected privilege behavior in Framework-adjacent processes.
- Permission-protected operations occurring outside expected process context.
- New or unusual outbound behavior from system components following malformed input events.
