When re-configuring the mobile phone using the factory reset protection (FRP) function, an attacker can disable the boot wizard by enable the talkback function. As a result, the FRP function is bypassed.
CVSS
- Version: 3.0
- Vector: CVSS:3.0/AV:P/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:N
- Base score: 4.6
Exploitation probability (EPSS)
- Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.24%
- Percentile among all scored CVEs: 13
- Score date: 10/4/2026
EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, FIRST) estimates how likely a vulnerability is to be exploited in the wild within 30 days. It complements CVSS (impact) and CISA KEV (confirmed exploitation).
