Cryptographic issue while processing partition table entries allows unauthorized modification of boot flow.
AnalysisAI
Boot flow tampering in Qualcomm Snapdragon platforms allows a local authenticated attacker to bypass cryptographic verification of partition table entries and modify the device's boot process, achieving high impact to confidentiality and integrity. Qualcomm disclosed the issue in its June 2026 security bulletin, classifying it as an authentication bypass affecting Snapdragon products. …

Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires local access to a Snapdragon-based device with low-privilege code execution or equivalent ability to write partition table entries (e.g., shell-level access, fastboot/EDL service mode, or a chained userland vulnerability), per the AV:L/PR:L CVSS metrics. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 7.1 vector (AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:N) shows the issue requires local access and low privileges but no user interaction, with high impact to confidentiality and integrity and no availability impact - consistent with persistent boot-chain compromise rather than service disruption. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | A local attacker with low-privilege code execution on a Snapdragon device - for example via a chained userland exploit, a malicious app with shell access, or physical access in service/recovery mode - writes a crafted partition table entry that bypasses the cryptographic check and points the next boot stage at attacker-controlled code. On reboot, the device loads the tampered image as part of the trusted boot chain, giving the attacker persistent pre-OS execution that survives factory reset and defeats verified-boot guarantees. … |
| Remediation | Patch available per vendor advisory: apply the firmware/boot-chain updates referenced in the Qualcomm June 2026 Security Bulletin (https://docs.qualcomm.com/product/publicresources/securitybulletin/june-2026-bulletin.html) once they are integrated by your device OEM, since Qualcomm fixes are typically delivered downstream through Android monthly security patches or OEM firmware images. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
Recommended ActionAI
24 hours: Inventory Snapdragon deployments and flag those in security-critical roles (authentication systems, payment processing, network appliances). …
