Summary
CVE-2025-48530 is a high-severity Out-of-bounds Read (CWE-125) vulnerability in Google Android. Its CVSS base score is 8.1 (High).
Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Endpoint Denial of Service (T1499); ranked at the 43th percentile by exploit likelihood (below the median); it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog.
The strongest mitigations our analysis identified map to SA-11 (Developer Testing and Evaluation) and SA-8 (Security and Privacy Engineering Principles) — see the control section below for these in your framework.

Synthesised by an AI model from the NVD description and linked references — a reading aid, not an authoritative source.
CVE-2025-48530 is a vulnerability involving out-of-bounds (OOB) accesses due to an incorrect bounds check in multiple locations within Android components. Published on 2025-09-04, it is classified under CWE-125 and carries a CVSS v3.1 base score of 8.1 (AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H).
A remote attacker requires no privileges or user interaction to exploit this over the network, though high attack complexity is needed. When combined with other bugs, it could result in remote code execution.
The Android security bulletin dated 2025-08-01 at https://source.android.com/security/bulletin/2025-08-01 provides details on affected versions and available patches for mitigation.

Mitigating Controls
Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI
Developer testing and evaluation directly finds out-of-bounds read flaws through static analysis, fuzzing, and dynamic bounds checks.
Secure engineering principles require bounds checking and memory-safe constructs that stop out-of-bounds reads from being introduced.
Process isolation confines the effects of an out-of-bounds read to the compromised process.
Input validation rejects malformed indices or lengths that would otherwise cause reads outside buffer bounds.

Secure-development practices such as bounds checking and memory-safe languages directly prevent out-of-bounds reads.
Vulnerability scanning and recording can discover instances of out-of-bounds reads after code is deployed.
Routine patching replaces vulnerable code containing out-of-bounds read flaws.

Security testing in development and acceptance includes fuzzing and static analysis that detect out-of-bounds read defects before release.
Secure coding standards explicitly forbid unsafe pointer arithmetic and mandate bounds-checked reads, eliminating CWE-125.
