CVE-2019-16243
On TCL Alcatel Cingular Flip 2 B9HUAH1 devices, there is an undocumented web API that allows unprivileged JavaScript, including JavaScript running within the KaiOS browser, to view and edit the device's firmware over-the-air update settings.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.75%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
