As reported by The Hacker News, there is a critical Android security flaw that could enable remote code execution on your device. In other words, bad actors could use the flaw to run their own code on your phone, effectively taking over the device for their own gain. The flaw, identified as CVE-2026-58868, isn't universal, but it is widespread: It currently affects Android 14 through Android 17, the latest version of Google's OS. If your phone runs Android 12 or Android 13, it may be unaffected, as Google doesn't identify these versions in its security bulletin, but it doesn't explicitly rule them out, either.
This flaw is perhaps the most important to fix, but it's not the only serious issue. In all, Google's latest bulletin highlights 216 vulnerabilities, and, of those, 23 are "critical." As The Hacker News explains, two other of those critical flaws could also allow remote code execution when exploited.
How to patch your Android phone against this security vulnerability
To see whether the patch is installed on your end, open the Settings app on your phone, tap "About phone" or "About tablet," then choose the Android version on-screen. Look for a date of "2026-11-01" or later. All security patches from Nov. 1 and on will fix this issue. If not, you'll ned to wait for the patch.
