CVE-2026-20560 is an out-of-bounds read vulnerability (CWE-125) in MediaTek chipsets affecting multiple models. It occurs in the modem component due to improper input validation, potentially causing a system crash. Exploitation can lead to a remote denial of service without requiring user interaction or additional privileges, triggered if a user equipment connects to a rogue base station controlled by an attacker.
