CVE-2026-20461
MediumCVSS 5.3Exploitation Probability (EPSS)
Low risk8th percentile - higher than 8% of all known CVEs
Summary
In the Modem module, there is a possible out-of-bounds write due to a missing bounds check. This could lead to remote denial of service if a UE connects to a rogue base station controlled by the attacker. No additional execution privileges or user interaction are needed for exploitation.
Risk Assessment
The risk is a potential remote denial of service (DoS) by forcing the device to connect to a rogue base station, which can disrupt communication and impact service availability.
Recommendation
It is recommended to immediately apply patches MOLY01267281 / MOLY01318201 and update the modem software to the latest version.

- CVE-2026-20479High
In Modem, a missing bounds check could lead to an out-of-bounds read, allowing remote denial of service if the UE connects to a rogue base station controlled by the attacker. No additional privileges or user interaction are needed.
- CVE-2026-20463Medium
In the Modem module, a vulnerability was found that allows privilege escalation through a permissions bypass. This can be exploited locally if the attacker already has System privileges. User interaction is not required for exploitation.
- CVE-2026-20460Medium
In the Modem module, there is a vulnerability leading to information disclosure due to improper input validation. An attacker can remotely disclose information if the user equipment (UE) connects to a rogue base station controlled by the attacker. No additional execution privileges or user interaction are required for exploitation.
