CVE-2025-61615
Published: 09 March 2026
Summary
CVE-2025-61615 is a high-severity Improper Input Validation (CWE-20) vulnerability in Google Android. Its CVSS base score is 7.5 (High).
Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Application or System Exploitation (T1499.004); ranked at the 22.0th percentile by exploit likelihood (below the median); it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog.
The strongest mitigations our analysis identified are NIST 800-53 SC-5 (Denial-of-service Protection) and SI-10 (Information Input Validation).
Deeper analysis
CVE-2025-61615 is a vulnerability in the nr modem component, stemming from improper input validation (CWE-20). This flaw can cause a system crash, enabling a remote denial-of-service (DoS) condition without requiring additional execution privileges. The issue has a CVSS v3.1 base score of 7.5 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H), indicating high severity due to its network accessibility, low attack complexity, and lack of prerequisites for exploitation.
Any unauthenticated remote attacker can exploit this vulnerability over the network by sending malformed input to the affected nr modem, triggering a crash that disrupts system availability. Successful exploitation results in a denial of service but does not grant code execution, privilege escalation, or data access, as confirmed by the CVSS impact metrics showing no confidentiality or integrity effects.
