The vulnerability problems with android smartphones is getting alarming this days and it looks like it won't be stopping any time sooner either. Two new vulnerabilities have already come to the light, and this one is more deadly than the past ones, they are called
The Zero days vulnerabilities.
This was confirmed to be under active exploitation in targeted attacks as of December 2025.
CVE-2025-48633: is an information disclosure flaw in the framework layer, and it is rated high severity.
CVE-2025-48572: this is also rated high severity, this could allow a malicious app to execute arbitrary code after gaining initial access.
These flaws have ffects Android version 13, 14,15 and 16.
If you are using Google device it's is possible that they are been patched already if you are the type that keeps constant updates as very important thing to do, if you haven't done this already I think you should consider doing so right away.
I strongly advice everyone to update their chrome browsers and also their android devices to the latest security patches to reduce the risk of been spy on via spyware vendors like NSO Group and Candiru.
You should consider your device not safe if you don't get OEM updates anymore, it could be a good time to get a new smartphone, as you can see, latest updates are very important to keep devices safe.
Those of you running your money app and crypto wallets on your Android phones, do you want to keep doing this? Even if your coins are not yet stolen or lost this seem unrest to me, the more this keeps happening the possibility of something very bad happening in the future is growing bigger.
I still consider getting a hardware wallet every time every day over anything else and I think it is time we should start encouraging people to buy hardware wallet instead. I can't assure the safety of android framework in the future no more.
