CVE-2024-53027 is an Android vulnerability in processing of the country information element (country IE). The issue can trigger a transient denial-of-service condition while the affected component processes this input. Based on the available information, the vulnerability results in temporary service disruption rather than persistent compromise. Specific implementation details, affected function names, and precise subsystem attribution are currently not available.

This repository provides proof-of-concept (PoC) exploit scripts for CVE-2024-53027, a vulnerability in Qualcomm WLAN and Bluetooth chipsets used in Android devices. The vulnerability allows remote attackers within Wi-Fi or Bluetooth range to crash the device's wireless firmware by sending malformed management frames (Wi-Fi beacons or Bluetooth HCI packets) containing invalid Country Information Elements (IEs). The repository contains two main PoC scripts: 1. 'poc_wifi_malformed_county_beacon': A Python script using Scapy to send malformed Wi-Fi beacon frames with an oversized Country IE, targeting devices with vulnerable Qualcomm WLAN firmware. The attacker must use a wireless interface in monitor mode to transmit these frames. 2. 'poc_bt': A Python script that sends a malformed Bluetooth HCI packet with an invalid Country IE via a serial interface (e.g., /dev/ttyUSB0 or COM3) to the target device's Bluetooth controller. This can trigger a crash in the Bluetooth firmware. The README provides detailed background on the vulnerability, affected devices (notably Android 12-15 devices with Qualcomm chipsets), and usage instructions for the PoCs. The exploit does not provide code execution or persistent compromise, but can cause a denial-of-service condition requiring a device reboot. No hardcoded network endpoints are present, but the scripts reference local device interfaces and sensitive Android directories as potential targets for privilege escalation in broader attack scenarios.
