Summary

CVE-2024-20060 is a medium-severity Improper Handling of Faults that Lead to Instruction Skips (CWE-1332) vulnerability in Google Android. Its CVSS base score is 5.9 (Medium).

Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique OS Credential Dumping (T1003); ranked at the 1th percentile by exploit likelihood (below the median); it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog.

The strongest mitigations our analysis identified map to SA-18 (Tamper Resistance and Detection) and SR-9 (Tamper Resistance and Detection) — see the control section below for these in your framework.

Mitigating Controls

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

SA-18 Tamper Resistance and Detection partial match

Tamper resistance and detection requirements prevent the absence of fault-handling mechanisms for instruction-skipping attacks.

SR-9 Tamper Resistance and Detection partial match

Tamper protection program directly requires circuitry/sensors to detect and respond to physical fault injection that produces instruction skips.

Mitigating Controls (NIST CSF 2.0) AI

Derived directly from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry via our AI-authored CWE→CSF cross-walk (authority under review) — links open the control.

PR.IR-02 partial match
blocks

Protecting assets from environmental threats can reduce fault-injection opportunities that cause instruction skips.

PR.IR-03 partial match
blocks

Resilience mechanisms can include hardware-level fault detection and recovery that directly address instruction skips.

PR.PS-03 partial match
blocks

Replacing hardware that lacks required security capabilities (e.g., fault sensors) directly mitigates the described weakness.

A.8.26 Application security requirements partial match
removes
A.8.27 Secure system architecture and engineering principles partial match
blocks

A.8.27 mandates establishing and applying secure engineering principles (including defense-in-depth, least privilege, fail securely, and security-oriented design reviews) during the development life cycle; this does not stop exploitation of a missing or incorrect hardware fault-detection circuit that is already present in a deployed device.

A.8.28 Secure coding partial match
degrades

Secure coding guidelines may mandate defensive coding against skipped instructions, but do not address underlying hardware circuitry.

A.8.29 Security testing in development and acceptance partial match
finds

Security testing in development can discover instruction-skip faults, yet testing alone does not guarantee hardware-level mitigation.

A.8.8 Management of technical vulnerabilities partial match

A.8.9 Configuration management partial match
