- CISA lists CVE-2025-27363 as exploited in the wild.
Google released its May 2025 Android security bulletin addressing multiple vulnerabilities across Android OS components. The most critical flaw, CVE-2025-27363, affects the System component and enables remote code execution without requiring additional execution privileges or user interaction. Google has confirmed this vulnerability is under limited, targeted exploitation in the wild.
The security update addresses a total of 42 vulnerabilities spanning Framework, System, and third-party components from Arm, Qualcomm, MediaTek, and Imagination Technologies. Beyond the actively exploited RCE, the bulletin includes 19 privilege escalation flaws in Framework and System components, multiple information disclosure issues, and one denial-of-service vulnerability. The privilege escalation vulnerabilities could allow attackers to execute code with elevated permissions within the affected service accounts.
All Android devices running security patch levels prior to May 5, 2025 are affected. Organizations should prioritize patching CVE-2025-27363 immediately given the confirmed exploitation. The impact severity depends on service account privileges, with administrative accounts presenting higher risk than restricted accounts.

What this brief leaves out
This page is the free tier: the write-up, the severity, the names. In the app the same report carries its extracted indicators and live profiles of the CVEs it names. The paid plans add the security research and news reporting the free tier leaves out.
It sits in a corpus of 16,433 reports from 149 sources, 661 of them written in the last seven days, and it grows through the day.
A new account starts with three days of all of it, no card, then keeps the government and CERT reporting free. Slack alerts are a paid-plan feature: name the vendors you run and Slack hears about the reports that touch them, not the rest of the week's. Nothing is charged unless you subscribe.
