## โš ๏ธ Affected Devices & Versions

* Android 13 (All builds Oct 2023 โ€“ Oct 2025)
* Android 14 (All builds Oct 2023 โ€“ Oct 2025)
* Android 15 (All builds up to Oct 2025)
* โš ๏ธ Android 16 (Builds Jul 2025 โ€“ Oct 2025)

> Unpatched devices are fully exposed.

## โšก How It Works (Technical Breakdown)

```c
// Simplified pseudocode of vulnerable path
void process_system_packet(Packet *p) {
    if (p->type == MALICIOUS_TYPE) {
        // โš ๏ธ No bounds check!
        memcpy(kernel_buffer, p->payload, p->size);  // CVE-2025-48593
        execute_payload(); // RCE achieved
    }
}
```

Root Cause:

> Improper input validation in the `System` component allows remote attackers to overflow buffers and inject executable code.

## Technical Attack Chain

|              Stage | Action                                  | Requirement             |
| -----------------: | --------------------------------------- | ----------------------- |
| 1. Packet Crafting | Attacker builds malformed system packet | None                    |
|    2. Transmission | Sent over Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or cellular | Network access          |
|       3. Reception | Device receives packet (no user action) | Unpatched Android 13โ€“16 |
|      4. Processing | `System` component parses input         | Vulnerable code path    |
|        5. Overflow | `memcpy()` writes beyond buffer         | Input validation flaw   |
|       6. Execution | Shellcode runs in kernel context        | Zero-click RCE          |
|     7. Persistence | Install malware, exfiltrate data, pivot | Full control            |
