AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
Local low-privilege process supplies crafted external data; integer overflow yields OOB write enabling full memory corruption within the same subsystem, so AV:L/PR:L, S:U, C/I/A:H.

Memory Corruption when validating large data buffers from external sources using addition to check buffer length.
AnalysisAI
Local memory corruption in Qualcomm Snapdragon-based devices can be triggered by a low-privileged local attacker supplying a crafted large data buffer that overflows an additive length check. Successful exploitation grants high confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact within the affected component, matching a local privilege-escalation profile rather than a remote attack primitive. …

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Requires local access with at least low privilege on a Qualcomm Snapdragon-based device (AV:L/PR:L) - typically a malicious or compromised local app/process that can reach the vulnerable interface and supply an attacker-controlled 'large data buffer from an external source.' No user interaction is needed (UI:N). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H, score 7.8) describes a locally-exploitable, low-privilege memory-corruption flaw with full confidentiality/integrity/availability impact but no scope change - a classic local privilege-escalation profile, not a remote-attack primitive. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in. |
| Remediation | No vendor-released patch version is provided in the available data; consult the Qualcomm September 2026 security bulletin at https://docs.qualcomm.com/product/publicresources/securitybulletin/september-2026-bulletin.html for chipset-specific fixes and apply any vendor-supplied firmware or BSP updates as soon as they become available through the device manufacturer. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
Recommended ActionAI
Within 24 hours, inventory all Qualcomm Snapdragon-based devices and determine exposure, restrict local access to trusted users and applications, and monitor Qualcomm security advisories for CVE-2026-25290 because no vendor-released patch is identified at time of analysis; within 7 days, implement interim mitigations such as least privilege, application allowlisting, device hardening, and enhanced logging for suspicious local privilege-escalation activity, and validate whether affected chipset models can be identified from vendor guidance; within 30 days, apply the vendor patch as soon as Qualcomm publishes it, reassess affected devices, and update risk treatment plans if no patch becomes available.
