Samsung's June 2026 security patch fixes 45 bugs — including an actively exploited zero-day
Samsung's June 2026 security patch is out, closing 45 vulnerabilities across Galaxy phones and tablets. One of them — a privilege-escalation flaw in the Android Framework (CVE-2025-48595) — is already being actively exploited in the wild, according to CyberInsider. If you own a Galaxy device, this is a month to install the update promptly.
The threats
The patch bundles 33 fixes from Google's June 2026 Android Security Bulletin — five rated critical, 28 rated high severity. Samsung adds 11 of its own SVE (Samsung Vulnerability and Exposure) fixes on top, plus one dedicated Exynos chip patch, bringing the total to 45.
The zero-day (CVE-2025-48595) is the most urgent: attackers can use it to gain elevated system privileges on any Android version without the user doing anything wrong. A separate Bluetooth LE flaw (CVE-2026-0097) is also worth flagging — Heise Online notes it requires no user interaction at all, meaning a nearby attacker could theoretically exploit it without ever touching your phone.
Samsung's June 2026 security patch addresses 45 vulnerabilities across Galaxy devices running Android 14, 15, and 16.
Samsung's own fixes cover components that are specific to One UI: Smart Suggestions, Samsung Account, Samsung Cloud, and Theme Manager. These run on Android 14, 15, and 16. Devices powered by Exynos chips (the 2400, 2500, and 2600) get one extra fix for a use-after-free bug in the DRM HDR driver that can cause a kernel crash.
Who gets it and when
Galaxy S26 owners on the One UI 9.0 Beta 2 program in the US and UK already have the June patch — it was bundled into that beta update. The stable rollout to the wider S26 lineup is expected to hit carrier networks including Verizon and O2 within roughly two weeks.
Mid-range Galaxy A and M series devices, along with the Galaxy Z foldables, are next — Samsung says they'll receive the update "in the coming weeks," though no specific dates have been confirmed for those models.
To check manually: go to Settings → Software update → Download and install. If the update isn't showing yet, it's on its way — Samsung staggers rollouts by region and carrier.
