Android Apps Can Now Check If Your Phone Is Missing Critical Security Patches

Google releases Android Security State libraries letting apps and enterprise tools verify component-level security patch status across system, Mainline modules, and kernel.

Google released stable AndroidX Security State 1.1.0 and Security State Provider 1.0.0 libraries that expose detailed device patch posture. Apps can query Device, Published, and Available patch levels for the Android system, Mainline modules, and LTS kernels, and can run vulnerability-specific checks for components like NFC and Bluetooth. The libraries integrate with Android Security Bulletin data via the Open Source Vulnerabilities database, and Android 17 adds Supplemental Patches XML so OEM backported fixes are recognized immediately.
