Loading vulnerability…
CVE-2026-24088 is a Qualcomm boot-chain vulnerability caused by missing cryptographic authentication while processing a specific boot-related partition. The flaw permits unauthorized write access that can be used to load a customized bootloader. Because the affected operation occurs within the trusted boot path, successful exploitation can bypass signature-gated boot protections and undermine the device secure-boot chain of trust.
