CVE-2026-59606 · Severity: info · Published 2026-11-10

Google Pixel device firmware contains a permissions bypass in the reset register configuration that allows non-secure software to modify global reset registers, potentially gaining system-level control. An attacker with local access to the device could exploit this to escalate privileges and take complete control of the system without requiring any user interaction.

## Technical details

A permissions bypass in the sswrp_cpm.dtsi firmware component allows unprivileged (non-secure) software to modify global reset registers that should be restricted. This is a local privilege escalation vulnerability requiring code execution context on the affected device, and a patch is available in the 2026-11-05 security update.
