A local attacker with shell access can pass shell metacharacters and run arbitrary commands. If QCMAP_CLI can be run via sudo or setuid, this also allows elevating privileges to root. This version of QCMAP is used in many kinds of networking devices, primarily mobile hotspots and LTE routers.","published":"2020-10-15T16:15:12.000Z","lastModified":"2026-06-17T03:07:24.000Z","status":"Modified","sourceIdentifier":"vuln@vdoo.com","cvss":{"version":"3.1","score":6.7,"severity":"MEDIUM","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H"},"cwe":["CWE-78"],"affected":["qualcomm/qcmap"],"epss":{"score":0.00271,"percentile":0.19259,"date":"2026-10-27","history":[]},"kev":{"listed":false},"exploits":{"count":0,"verified":false,"firstPublished":null,"source":"Exploit-DB (https://gitlab.com/exploit-database/exploitdb)","entries":[]},"verdict":{"level":"low","text":"Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.27%).
