IdentifiersCVE-2025-48622CWE-125· Out-of-bounds Read

CVE-2025-48622 is an Android information-disclosure vulnerability in ProcessArea within dng_misc_opcodes.cpp. According to the provided description, the issue is caused by a buffer overflow that results in a possible out-of-bounds read. Successful exploitation can disclose memory contents locally. The vulnerability does not require user interaction and does not require additional execution privileges beyond those already available to the local attacker.

ANALYST BRIEF

Impact, mitigation & remediation

What it means. What to do now. Patch path, mitigations, and the assume-compromise checklist.

Impact

What an attacker gets, and what they’ve been doing with it.

Successful exploitation can lead to local information disclosure. An attacker able to reach the vulnerable code path may read memory outside the intended buffer bounds and obtain sensitive data from the affected process or component. The provided information does not indicate code execution or privilege escalation; the stated impact is disclosure of information without needing additional privileges.

Mitigation

If you can’t patch tonight, do this now.

Until patches are applied, mitigation options are limited because the issue requires no user interaction. Reduce exposure by promptly deploying the December 2025 Android security updates, restricting installation and execution of untrusted local code, and enforcing standard application-control and device-management policies to limit opportunities for local attackers to access the vulnerable component.

Remediation

Patch, then assume compromise.

Apply the Android security update that includes the fix for CVE-2025-48622. The provided bulletin context indicates that Google’s December 2025 Android Security Bulletin addresses this issue, and devices updated to the 2025-12-05 patch level are described as fully remediated for issues disclosed in that bulletin.
