Published Aug 3, 2026 CVSS 3.1 · 7.5 High EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed
Description
In modem, there is a possible improper input validation. This could lead to remote denial of service with no additional execution privileges needed

Analysis

AI-generated

Technical impact

A flaw in the modem software enables an attacker to send crafted input that is not properly validated, causing the modem to become unresponsive. The vulnerability does not grant the attacker any privileges beyond original access, but it can disrupt network connectivity for the affected device.

Affected Systems

Unisoc (Shanghai) Technologies Co., Ltd. devices based on the T8100, T9100, T8200, and T8300 series. No specific firmware or software versions were disclosed, so all current releases for these models should be considered vulnerable until a vendor update is available.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 7.5 indicates high severity. The EPSS score is <1%, indicating a very low exploitation probability. The vulnerability is not in CISA’s KEV catalog. The likely attack vector is remote; an attacker can trigger the denial of service by sending malformed data over the modem’s control interface without requiring additional privileges.

Remediation

No solution or workaround provided in the CVE record.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Apply the vendor’s latest firmware release that corrects the input validation logic.
  • If a patch is not immediately available, disable or restrict the modem’s remote control interface to prevent external access.
  • Monitor modem logs and network traffic for signs of malformed packets that could indicate an active exploitation attempt.
