Google released November 2025 Android security updates addressing two critical vulnerabilities in the System component. The most serious flaw, CVE-2025-48593, affects Android versions 13-16 and allows remote code execution without user interaction or additional privileges. It stems from insufficient input validation.

A second vulnerability, CVE-2025-48581, affects Android 16 devices and could block security updates through a logic error in apexd.cpp code.

This marks another departure from Google's traditional monthly update pattern. After skipping July and October entirely, the company resolved over 100 vulnerabilities in August and September. Devices with security patch level 2025-11-01 are protected against these threats.
