Bold values are the worst case: easiest to exploit or largest impact.

Attack Vector: Local: The vulnerable component is not bound to the network stack and the attacker’s path is via read/write/execute capabilities. Either: the attacker exploits the vulnerability by accessing the target system locally (e.g., keyboard, console), or remotely (e.g., SSH); or the attacker relies on User Interaction by another person to perform actions required to exploit the vulnerability (e.g., tricking a legitimate user into opening a malicious document).
Attack Complexity: Low: Specialized access conditions or extenuating circumstances do not exist. An attacker can expect repeatable success against the vulnerable component.
Privileges Required: None: The attacker is unauthorized prior to attack, and therefore does not require any access to settings or files to carry out an attack.
User Interaction: None: The vulnerable system can be exploited without any interaction from any user.
Scope: Unchanged: An exploited vulnerability can only affect resources managed by the same security authority. In this case, the vulnerable component and the impacted component are either the same, or both are managed by the same security authority.
Confidentiality: Low: There is some loss of confidentiality. Access to some restricted information is obtained, but the attacker does not have control over what information is obtained, or the amount or kind of loss is limited. The information disclosure does not cause a direct, serious loss to the impacted component.
Integrity: Low: Modification of data is possible, but the attacker does not have control over the consequence of a modification, or the amount of modification is limited. The data modification does not have a direct, serious impact on the impacted component.
Availability: Low: Performance is reduced or there are interruptions in resource availability. Even if repeated exploitation of the vulnerability is possible, the attacker does not have the ability to completely deny service to legitimate users. The resources in the impacted component are either partially available all of the time, or fully available only some of the time, but overall there is no direct, serious consequence to the impacted component.

A missing step is not evidence of safety. Sources: cve.org (opens in a new tab), the Metasploit, Exploit-DB and nuclei-templates index as of 26 Oct 2026.

Disclosed: The CVE record is public on cve.org. Its publication is t = 0.
Detectable: A public nuclei template can find exposed instances, for defenders and attackers alike.
Weaponised: Public exploit code exists in Metasploit or Exploit-DB, or CISA SSVC or the CVSS exploit maturity reports a public proof of concept.
Exploited in the wild: CISA KEV lists it, CISA SSVC rates exploitation active, or a source reports attacks.
Observed by OffSeq Mirage: OffSeq Mirage honeypot sensors recorded attack traffic for this CVE, or found exposed hosts without attack traffic.

Moments are spaced evenly, not to scale; a dashed line marks a gap of six months or more. Deltas count from t = 0. Sources that give only a date (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, or a time of exactly 00:00Z) read “same day” rather than hours. Metasploit modules carry the flaw’s disclosure date, not their release date, and nuclei templates carry no date, so both appear above but not on the timeline.

What to do

AI-suggested

To mitigate this vulnerability, organizations and users should ensure Fire TV devices are updated to Fire OS versions 7.6.6.9 or later and 8.1.0.3 or later, where the issue is resolved. Disable ADB Debugging unless absolutely necessary, and educate users about the risks of enabling this feature. Implement strict application vetting and only install trusted applications from official sources to reduce the risk of malicious apps attempting to exploit this vulnerability. Consider network segmentation and device management policies that limit local access to Fire TV devices. Monitor devices for unusual behavior or unauthorized ADB connection attempts. If ADB Debugging must be enabled for development or troubleshooting, ensure physical device access is controlled and connection prompts are not bypassed. Employ endpoint security solutions capable of detecting suspicious local connections or privilege escalations on Fire TV devices.

Description

Amazon Fire OS 7 before 7.6.6.9 and 8 before 8.1.0.3 allows Fire TV applications to establish local ADB (Android Debug Bridge) connections. NOTE: some third parties dispute whether this has security relevance, because an ADB connection is only possible after the (non-default) ADB Debugging option is enabled, and after the initiator of that specific connection attempt has been approved via a full-screen prompt.

Impact

The vulnerability could allow malicious Fire TV applications to establish local ADB connections, potentially enabling unauthorized access to device functions, data leakage, or manipulation of system components. This could lead to confidentiality breaches if sensitive data is accessed, integrity issues if system settings or applications are altered, and availability problems if device functionality is disrupted. However, the requirement for ADB Debugging to be enabled and user approval reduces the likelihood of widespread exploitation. Organizations deploying Fire TV devices in sensitive environments or for digital signage, kiosks, or other critical use cases could face risks if devices are misconfigured or users are tricked into enabling debugging. The impact is primarily local and limited to devices running vulnerable Fire OS versions, but targeted attacks could leverage this vector for persistence or lateral movement within a network.
