A newly disclosed remote code execution vulnerability in the image-processing library of major Android devices underscores the evolving mobile threat landscape. The flaw allows attackers to exploit a zero-click pathway via malicious image files, compromising a device’s system privileges without user interaction. Given mobile phones are now primary access points for business apps, email, and sensitive data, unmanaged or unpatched endpoints present a critical risk. Organizations should prioritize timely patching, monitor for anomalous device behavior, and enforce mobile security policies to reduce exposure and maintain endpoint resilience.
