CVE-2012-2949
The ZTE sync_agent program for Android 2.3.4 on the Score M device uses a hardcoded ztex1609523 password to control access to commands, which allows remote attackers to gain privileges via a crafted application.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (3.55%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
