Privilege escalation due to weak configuration during package extraction process.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
This vulnerability (CVE-2026-25264) in Qualcomm Snapdragon devices is classified under CWE-427 (Uncontrolled Search Path Element). It arises from a weak configuration in the package extraction process that allows an attacker with limited privileges to escalate their privileges. The CVSS 3.1 vector indicates local attack vector with low attack complexity, requiring low privileges and no user interaction, with scope changed and high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation can lead to full privilege escalation on affected Qualcomm Snapdragon devices, compromising confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the system. This could allow attackers to execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges.
