CVE-2026-20458
HighCVSS 7.5Exploitation Probability (EPSS)
Low risk26th percentile - higher than 26% of all known CVEs
Summary
In the Modem module, a possible memory corruption due to a missing bounds check could lead to remote escalation of privilege if a UE connects to a rogue base station controlled by the attacker, with no additional execution privileges needed. User interaction is not required for exploitation.
Risk Assessment
The risk involves potential remote takeover of the device by an attacker impersonating a legitimate base station, which could compromise data confidentiality, integrity, and network availability.
Recommendation
It is recommended to immediately apply the patch identified as MOLY01402160 and update the modem software to the latest version to eliminate the memory corruption vulnerability.
Other vulnerabilities in Modem
See all- CVE-2026-68591Medium
In Modem, there is a possible escalation of privilege due to a permissions bypass. This could lead to local escalation of privilege if a malicious actor has already obtained the System privilege. User interaction is not needed for exploitation.
- CVE-2026-68589Medium
In Modem, there is a possible out of bounds write due to a missing bounds check. This could lead to local escalation of privilege if a malicious actor has already obtained the System privilege. User interaction is not needed for exploitation.
- CVE-2026-68588Medium
In Modem, there is a possible way (for XXX) to XXXXX due to an integer overflow. This could lead to remote denial of service if a UE has connected to a rogue base station controlled by the attacker, with no additional execution privileges needed. User interaction is not needed for exploitation.
- CVE-2026-20600Medium
In Modem, there is a possible application crash due to a logic error. This could lead to remote denial of service if a UE has connected to a rogue base station controlled by the attacker, with no additional execution privileges needed. User interaction is not needed for exploitation.
- CVE-2026-20599Medium
In Modem, there is a possible escalation of privilege due to a missing permission check. This could lead to local escalation of privilege if a malicious actor has already obtained the System privilege. User interaction is not needed for exploitation.
- CVE-2026-20598Medium
In Modem, there is a possible out of bounds read due to an integer overflow. This could lead to remote denial of service if a UE has connected to a rogue base station controlled by the attacker, with no additional execution privileges needed. User interaction is not needed for exploitation.
- CVE-2026-20597Medium
In Modem, there is a possible out of bounds read due to a missing bounds check. This could lead to remote denial of service if a UE has connected to a rogue base station controlled by the attacker. No additional execution privileges or user interaction are needed for exploitation.
- CVE-2026-20596Medium
In Modem, there is a possible out of bounds read due to improper input validation. This could lead to remote denial of service if a UE has connected to a rogue base station controlled by the attacker. No additional execution privileges or user interaction are needed for exploitation.
- CVE-2026-20594Medium
In Modem, there is a possible out of bounds read due to a missing bounds check. This could lead to remote denial of service if a UE has connected to a rogue base station controlled by the attacker. No additional execution privileges or user interaction are needed for exploitation.
- CVE-2026-20593Medium
In Modem, there is a possible application crash due to improper input validation. This could lead to remote denial of service if a UE has connected to a rogue base station controlled by the attacker. No additional execution privileges or user interaction are needed for exploitation.
