CVE-2022-20060

Status: ModifiedMedium (6.6)—
In preloader (usb), there is a possible permission bypass due to a missing proper image authentication. This could lead to local escalation of privilege, for an attacker who has physical access to the device, with no additional execution privileges needed. User interaction is needed for exploitation. Patch ID: ALPS06160806; Issue ID: ALPS06137462.
CVSS

Version: 3.1
Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:P/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
