CVE-2018-7988
There is a Factory Reset Protection (FRP) bypass vulnerability on several smartphones.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.22%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
Description
There is a Factory Reset Protection (FRP) bypass vulnerability on several smartphones. The system does not sufficiently verify the permission, an attacker uses a data cable to connect the smartphone to another smartphone and then perform a series of specific operations. Successful exploit could allow the attacker bypass the FRP protection.
