Google fixes two actively exploited zero-day vulnerabilities in Android


Google has patched 62 vulnerabilities in Android, including two actively exploited zero-days in its April 2025 Android Security Bulletin. When we say “zero-day” we mean an exploitable software vulnerability for which there was no patch at the time of the vulnerability being exploited or published.

The term reflects the amount of time that a vulnerable organization has to protect against the threat by patching—zero days. The April updates are available for Android 13, 14, and 15. Android vendors are notified of all issues at least a month before publication, however, this doesn’t always mean that the patches are available for all devices immediately.
