# CVE-2025-48633: Android Framework Information Disclosure Vulnerability

**Signal:** Exploited: patch now if you run it. CISA has confirmed exploitation in the wild. (Computed from CISA KEV, EPSS and CVSS; not an editorial verdict.)

## Should you act?

- Yes, if you run Android Framework. CISA added this CVE to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog on 2025-12-02, which means there is reliable evidence of exploitation in the wild. US federal agencies must remediate by 2025-12-23 ; treat that as the outer limit, not the target.
- EPSS 0.3% , percentile 17: FIRST’s model estimates a 0.3% chance of exploitation activity in the next 30 days, higher than 17% of all scored CVEs (low). EPSS is a probability, not a verdict.
- Needs local access needed. Lower urgency for most teams unless an attacker could already run code on the machine.

## What it is

In hasAccountsOnAnyUser of DevicePolicyManagerService.java, there is a possible way to add a Device Owner after provisioning due to a logic error in the code. This could lead to local escalation of privilege with no additional execution privileges needed. User interaction is not needed for exploitation.

## Affected products (CVE record)

- Google Android: 16, 15, 14, 13

## Severity

- CISA-ADP CVSS 3.1: 5.5 `CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N`

## Exploitation

- CISA KEV: added 2025-12-02; federal due date 2025-12-23. Known ransomware use: Unknown.
- CISA required action: Apply mitigations per vendor instructions, follow applicable BOD 22-01 guidance for cloud services, or discontinue use of the product if mitigations are unavailable.
- CISA SSVC assessment: exploitation active , automatable no , technical impact partial .
- FIRST EPSS (model of 2026-10-21): 0.26% probability of exploitation activity in the next 30 days; percentile 17.
