Google has just released February’s Android security update, and this one comes with a zero-day sting in the tail. “There are indications,” Google warns, that a vulnerability within Android’s core “may be under limited, targeted exploitation.“ Put more simple, you need to update your phone as soon as the new software is released.

Google is delivering a warning to Android users about a crucial zero-day exploit in the wild. The issue can reportedly allow an attacker to cause widespread software instability and more if they've gained access to your phone.

Google’s February 2025 update patches 47 Android flaws, including CVE-2024-53104, exploited in the wild, and CVE-2024-45569 in Qualcomm WLAN.
