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.
