Hot Take:

Looks like Google’s been busy playing whack-a-mole with Android vulnerabilities again! CVE-2025-27363, the latest bug to crash the party, was apparently feeling a little too wild for Google’s liking. It seems even bugs like to live on the edge, but Google’s not having it. Hats off to them for their relentless pursuit of a bug-free Android experience, though I suspect that’s as likely as finding a unicorn in my living room.

Key Points:

  • Google’s May 2025 security update addressed 46 Android vulnerabilities.
  • The star of the show: CVE-2025-27363, a high-severity flaw with a CVSS score of 8.1.
  • This particular bug allows local code execution without any need for user interaction.
  • Meta previously flagged this vulnerability as potentially exploited in the wild.
  • Outdated FreeType library versions may put systems at risk.
