CVE-2026-24089: CWE-1286: Improper Validation of Syntactic Correctness of Input in Qualcomm, Inc. Snapdragon
CVE-2026-24089 is a high-severity vulnerability in Qualcomm Snapdragon processors involving memory corruption triggered by improper validation of syntactic correctness of input during fastboot command processing. The flaw allows an attacker with physical access and high privileges to cause a state change affecting confidentiality, integrity, and availability. No official patch or remediation guidance is currently confirmed.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
This vulnerability (CVE-2026-24089) affects Qualcomm Snapdragon devices and is classified under CWE-1286 for improper validation of syntactic correctness of input. Specifically, memory corruption occurs when processing fastboot commands containing invalid input. The CVSS 3.1 score is 7.2, indicating high severity, with attack vector requiring physical access (AV:P), low attack complexity (AC:L), high privileges (PR:H), no user interaction (UI:N), and scope changed (S:C). The impact includes high confidentiality, integrity, and availability impacts. No patch or official remediation level has been published by Qualcomm as of the data provided.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation can lead to memory corruption, potentially allowing an attacker with physical access and high privileges to compromise device confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The vulnerability affects the fastboot command processing component of Snapdragon devices, which could enable unauthorized code execution or device instability.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is released, limit physical access to affected devices and avoid using fastboot commands with untrusted input. Monitor Qualcomm's advisories for updates on patches or mitigations.
