Security on Android devices, and really any computing device, is a constant struggle with patches and workarounds and newly discovered flaws, and the June security update for Android devices doesn’t stray from this in the slightest. The latest security patch, which is likely to start hitting devices soon, covers a wide variety of different flaws and fixes any associated issues that are a result of those flaws. The update comes just as Google released the Android 17 Beta 4.1 update this week.
This includes an apparently dangerous zero-day flaw that was actively being exploited. The zero-day flaw could impact Android devices running on Android 14 or later. Bad actors would need to exploit the actively abused high-severity Android framework vulnerability labeled as CVE-2025-48595.
Doing this would allow the individual to potentially upgrade privileges on those devices if they were able to execute necessary code. As reported by Bleeping Computer, Google hasn’t shared technical details about the flaw. It has also kept quiet on any possible attacks that have been actively exploiting the flaw and may be ongoing.
The June 2026 Android security update will hit Pixel devices first
There’s no way to know how long it will take most manufacturers to deploy this security patch. As is usually the case, however, Pixel devices will be the first to get this update. From there, manufacturers will follow on their own schedule and it could take several weeks for certain manufacturers to push this out to supported devices.
If you have a supported Pixel device, then you’ll want to keep an eye out for the update since it should be hitting devices any day now. Assuming it hasn’t already started. As part of the update there are reportedly 124 different flaws that were fixed as part of the patch. So there are certainly a lot of reasons to install the update as soon as possible.
Google has published a lengthy list of all those flaws that were fixed in the June update, but doesn’t give much in the way of specifics. It does list the severity of those flaws though, and they’re mostly listed as high with a healthy mix of critical flaws lumped in there.
