CVE-2026-20463
MediumCVSS 6.7Exploitation Probability (EPSS)
Low risk5th percentile - higher than 5% of all known CVEs
Summary
In the Modem module, a vulnerability was found that allows privilege escalation through a permissions bypass. This can be exploited locally if the attacker already has System privileges. User interaction is not required for exploitation.
Risk Assessment
The risk involves an attacker with existing System privileges being able to gain higher privileges, potentially leading to full device compromise.
Recommendation
It is recommended to immediately apply patch MOLY01716533 provided by the vendor. Update the modem software to the latest version.
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.
