Summary

CVE-2024-34722 is a high-severity Incorrect Implementation of Authentication Algorithm (CWE-303) vulnerability in Google Android. Its CVSS base score is 8.8 (High).

Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique External Remote Services (T1133); ranked at the 17th 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-11 (Developer Testing and Evaluation) and SA-15 (Development Process, Standards, and Tools) — see the control section below for these in your framework.

Vulnerability Data

In smp_proc_rand of smp_act.cc, there is a possible authentication bypass during legacy BLE pairing due to incorrect implementation of a protocol. This could lead to remote escalation of privilege with no additional execution privileges needed. User interaction is not needed…

Mitigating Controls

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

Developer testing and evaluation at post-design stages directly uncovers incorrect implementations of required authentication algorithms.

Requiring documented development processes, standards, and tools reduces the chance that an established authentication algorithm is coded incorrectly.

prevents

Secure SDLC practices directly require correct implementation of authentication algorithms.

degrades

Secure authentication control directly requires correct implementation of authentication algorithms.

finds

Security testing can detect flawed authentication implementations but does not prevent them by itself.

degrades

Cryptography control addresses proper use of authentication algorithms but is broader than authentication alone.

prevents

Secure development lifecycle includes verification steps that can catch incorrect authentication implementations.

prevents

Application security requirements can specify correct authentication algorithm use but do not guarantee correct implementation.

prevents

Secure coding practices reduce the likelihood of incorrect authentication algorithm implementation.
