9.8

CVSS v3.1

Official Description

Memory corruption in Bluetooth HOST due to stack-based buffer overflow when when extracting data using command length parameter in Snapdragon Connectivity, Snapdragon Mobile

NVD Source

Risk Analysis

A stack-based buffer overflow in the Qualcomm Snapdragon Bluetooth HOST component can lead to memory corruption during data extraction. This critical 9.8 CVSS vulnerability could be exploited remotely to compromise the system.

No public exploit is known, and the vulnerability is not in the CISA KEV catalog. It is remotely exploitable with low complexity.

Recommended Action

Apply the latest firmware updates from Qualcomm for the affected Bluetooth-enabled Snapdragon chipsets. Disable Bluetooth when not in use to reduce the attack surface.

Generated by the CTIWATCH analysis pipeline from this CVE's metadata (CVSS, EPSS, KEV status, exploit intelligence). Verify against vendor advisories before acting.

Technical Analysis

CVE-2022-22096 can be exploited remotely over the network without requiring physical or adjacent access, significantly expanding the attack surface for threat actors.

The vulnerability requires no privileges and no user interaction, making it a prime target for automated exploitation campaigns and worm-like propagation.

A successful exploit results in complete confidentiality breach (data exposure), full integrity compromise (data manipulation), availability disruption (denial of service), with a CVSS base score of 9.8.

From a weakness classification perspective (CWE-787): Out-of-bounds write vulnerabilities can lead to data corruption, crashes, or arbitrary code execution.
