CVE-2026-66085: Unisoc modem information disclosure in crash dumps

CVE-2026-66085 · Severity: medium · CVSS 5.5 · Published 2026-10-12

Unisoc modem chipsets used in mobile devices fail to filter sensitive data from crash dump files. A local attacker with basic privileges can read these dumps to extract confidential information such as encryption keys or credentials, compromising device security without requiring special access levels.

Vendors: Unisoc.

Technical details

The modem firmware lacks proper sanitization of sensitive data before writing crash dumps to storage, allowing an authenticated local attacker to retrieve unfiltered information via CWE-20 (Improper Input Validation). The vulnerability requires local access and user-level privileges, exposing confidential data in the confidentiality domain. No remote exploitation path exists.
