Google has shared the June 2026 Android security updates to fix 124 flaws, including one zero-day issue used in special attacks. Local attackers can take advantage of a serious Android Framework flaw (known as CVE-2025-48595) to run code and gain higher access on devices using Android 14 or newer.
“There are indications that CVE-2025-48595 may be under limited, targeted exploitation,” the company said on Monday in its March 2025 Android Security Bulletin.
“Exploitation for many issues on Android is made more difficult by enhancements in newer versions of the Android platform. We encourage all users to update to the latest version of Android where possible.”
Google hasn’t shared details about the flaw or the attacks targeting it, but similar issues have been misused before by commercial spyware and by government operations focused on important people or interests.
This month’s Android security updates fixed 18 serious flaws in the System, Framework, and Qualcomm parts that hackers can use to cause service failures and gain higher access on unprotected Android devices.
“The most severe of these issues is a critical security vulnerability in the Framework component that could lead to remote escalation of privilege with no additional execution privileges needed. User interaction is not needed for exploitation,” Google added.
On Monday, Google released two sets of updates: the 2026-06-01 and 2026-06-05 security updates. The second update includes all fixes from the first one and also has updates for closed-source third-party software and kernel parts that might not work on all Android devices.
Google Pixel devices will get these security updates right away, but other brands usually take longer to check and adjust them for their hardware.
Google released patches for two other high-severity zero-days (CVE-2025-48633 and CVE-2025-48572) in December, and for another zero-day flaw in a Qualcomm display component (CVE-2026-21385) in March, all of which were tagged as “under limited, targeted exploitation.”
