Threat & Defense Details

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5)AI

SC-13 Cryptographic Protection good match

prevent

Requires cryptographic mechanisms to detect unauthorized modification and verify data authenticity, directly countering the insufficient verification flaw enabling authentication bypass.

SI-7 Software, Firmware, and Information Integrity good match

prevent

Mandates integrity checks on software, firmware, and information to ensure authenticity, preventing exploitation of unverified data in the Boomplayer app.

SI-2 Flaw Remediation good match

prevent

Ensures timely identification and remediation of flaws like CVE-2025-15385, including patching the vulnerable Boomplayer version 7.4.63.

MITRE ATT&CK Enterprise TechniquesAI

T1190 Exploit Public-Facing Application Initial Access

Adversaries may attempt to exploit a weakness in an Internet-facing host or system to initially access a network.

NVD Description

Insufficient Verification of Data Authenticity vulnerability in TECNO Mobile com.Afmobi.Boomplayer allows Authentication Bypass.This issue affects com.Afmobi.Boomplayer: 7.4.63.

Deeper analysisAI

CVE-2025-15385 is an Insufficient Verification of Data Authenticity vulnerability (CWE-345) in the TECNO Mobile com.Afmobi.Boomplayer application, specifically version 7.4.63. This flaw enables authentication bypass, allowing attackers to circumvent security checks that verify the authenticity of data exchanged with the application. Published on January 6, 2026, the vulnerability carries a CVSS v3.1 base score of 9.8, reflecting its critical severity due to high impacts on confidentiality, integrity, and availability.

The vulnerability can be exploited remotely over the network (AV:N) with low attack complexity (AC:L), requiring no privileges (PR:N) or user interaction (UI:N), and without changing the scope (S:U). Any unauthenticated attacker with network access to a vulnerable device running the affected Boomplayer app can bypass authentication mechanisms. Successful exploitation grants high-level access, potentially enabling full compromise of the application, including unauthorized data access, modification, or disruption of services on the targeted TECNO Mobile device.
