It also noted that no user interaction is required for exploitation.\n\n![CIS Build Kits](data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAEAAAABCAQAAAC1HAwCAAAAC0lEQVR42mP8Xw8AAoMBgDTD2qgAAAAASUVORK5CYII=)\n\nThe tech giant did not reveal how the issues have been weaponized in real-world attacks, but acknowledged there are indications of \"limited, targeted exploitation.\"\n\nAlso patched by Google are several remote code execution, privilege escalation, information disclosure, and denial-of-service vulnerabilities impacting Framework and System components.\n\nGoogle has released two security patch levels, 2025-09-01 and 2025-09-05, so as to give flexibility to Android partners to address a portion of vulnerabilities that are similar across all Android devices more quickly.\n\n\"Android partners are encouraged to fix all issues in this bulletin and use the latest security patch level,\" Google said.\n\nLast month, the tech giant Google released security updates to resolve two Qualcomm vulnerabilities -- CVE-2025-21479 (CVSS score: 8.6) and CVE-2025-27038 (CVSS score: 7.5) -- that were flagged by the chipmaker as actively exploited in the wild.\n\nFound this article interesting?
