CVE-2026-119737 · Severity: high · CVSS 7.8 · Published 2026-11-02

The Amlogic Android SDK includes a privileged system daemon (pppoe_wrapper) that listens on a world-writable socket and fails to validate input, allowing any local user to inject shell commands that execute as root. An attacker with local access can achieve complete device compromise and run arbitrary code with the highest privileges.

Technologies: Nexbox A95X. Vendors: Nexbox.

Technical details

The pppoe_wrapper daemon binds an AF_UNIX datagram socket at /dev/socket/pppoe_wrapper with mode 777, performs no peer credential checks, and passes user-supplied command arguments directly to system(3) after only checking for a "pppd pty" prefix. Attackers bypass the prefix check using shell substitution syntax (e.g., $(id)) to execute arbitrary commands as root before the pppd binary consumes its expected arguments. The vulnerability (CWE-78) requires local access but no authentication.
