CVE-2026-24091: CWE-1286: Improper Validation of Syntactic Correctness of Input in Qualcomm, Inc. Snapdragon
CVE-2026-24091 is a high-severity vulnerability in Qualcomm Snapdragon processors involving memory corruption triggered by improperly formatted fastboot commands. The flaw stems from improper validation of the syntactic correctness of input, classified under CWE-1286. This vulnerability can lead to complete compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the affected system. No official patch or remediation guidance has been provided yet, and no known exploits are reported in the wild. The vulnerability requires privileged access to exploit and does not involve user interaction.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
This vulnerability (CVE-2026-24091) affects Qualcomm Snapdragon devices and is caused by improper validation of syntactic correctness of input during processing of fastboot commands. Specifically, malformed input can cause memory corruption, potentially allowing an attacker with high privileges to execute arbitrary code or cause denial of service. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 7.2, reflecting high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability, with attack vector requiring physical or local access (AV:P), low attack complexity, and no user interaction. No patch or official remediation level has been disclosed by Qualcomm as of the publication date.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability can result in memory corruption leading to full compromise of the device's confidentiality, integrity, and availability. Given the nature of fastboot commands, exploitation likely requires privileged access to the device. There are no known exploits in the wild at this time.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is released, restrict access to fastboot interfaces and ensure only trusted users have privileged access to affected devices. Monitor Qualcomm's advisories for updates on patches or mitigations.
