Privilege escalation due to weak configuration while temporary file handling.
AnalysisAI
Local privilege escalation in Qualcomm Snapdragon platforms allows a low-privilege on-device process or app to cross a trust boundary and gain system-level control by abusing insecurely handled temporary files. The issue is tracked as CVE-2026-25265 with a vendor/assessed CVSS 3.1 score of 8.8 (AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H), meaning exploitation requires local access and low privileges but no user interaction, and results in high confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact. …

Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires local access with low privileges already on a Snapdragon-based device - i.e., an attacker-controlled or compromised low-privilege process/app running on the device (AV:L, PR:L, UI:N). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The vendor CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H = 8.8 High) describes a locally-exploitable, low-complexity privilege escalation requiring only low existing privileges and no user interaction, with a scope change and full confidentiality/integrity/availability compromise - consistent with a malicious or compromised app breaking out of its sandbox to gain system-level control via insecure temporary-file handling (CWE-378). … 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 identified in the provided data at time of analysis; apply the applicable Qualcomm security patch and OEM firmware update referenced in the Qualcomm June 2026 bulletin (https://docs.qualcomm.com/product/publicresources/securitybulletin/june-2026-bulletin.html) and confirm the exact fixed build with Qualcomm or the device OEM. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
