CVE-2025-48614
MediumCVSS 4.6Exploitation Probability (EPSS)
Low risk1th percentile - higher than 1% of all known CVEs
Summary
In rebootWipeUserData of RecoverySystem.java, there is a possible way to factory reset the device while in DSU mode due to a missing permission check. This could lead to physical denial of service with no additional execution privileges needed. User interaction is not needed for exploitation.
Risk Assessment
An attacker with physical access could force a factory reset, causing data loss and service unavailability. This poses a risk to data availability and integrity.
Recommendation
Update Android to a version containing the fix for this CVE. Restrict physical access to devices and consider additional DSU mode protections.
