Exploitation evidence

Disclosed: evidence found.
CVE published 19 Dec 2024
Detectable: no evidence on record.
No public nuclei template indexed
Weaponised: no evidence on record.
No public exploit code indexed in Metasploit or Exploit-DB
Exploited in the wildExploited: no evidence on record.
Not in CISA KEV and no source reports exploitation
Observed by OffSeq MirageSeen by Mirage: no evidence on record.
No attack traffic recorded by OffSeq Mirage sensors

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 2026-10-26.

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 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

The vendor disputes the vulnerability's applicability, indicating no specific action is currently recommended. Monitor vendor advisories for updates or official statements.

Description

CVE-2024-54982 is a reported vulnerability in the Quectel BC25 chipset firmware version BC25PAR01A06 that allegedly allows attackers to bypass authentication using a crafted NAS message. However, Quectel disputes the validity of this issue, stating it originates in the chipset supply chain and is not specific to their products. No patch or remediation information is available, and no public exploit or confirmed exploitation in the wild has been reported.

Impact

If valid, the vulnerability could allow attackers to bypass authentication mechanisms on affected devices using the specified firmware. However, due to the vendor's dispute and lack of confirmed exploitation or detailed technical data, the actual impact remains uncertain.

Summary

This vulnerability concerns an authentication bypass in the Quectel BC25 chipset firmware version BC25PAR01A06 via crafted NAS messages. The vendor disputes the issue's applicability to their products, attributing it to the broader chipset supply chain.
