There are 31 security issues resolved in the Android 15 April patch dated 2025-04-01 and 31 for 2025-04-05. Vulnerabilities range from high to critical. CVE-2024-53150 (Kernel, USB) and CVE-2024-53197 (Kernel, USB) “may be under limited, targeted exploitation.”

The dedicated bulletin for Google devices lists one additional security fix. In addition to Global, there are three additional carrier builds this month. Meanwhile, the Pixel 9a (codenamed “tegu”) makes its debut.
