Summary

CVE-2025-47390 is a high-severity Buffer Over-read (CWE-126) vulnerability in Qualcomm Qcm5430 Firmware. Its CVSS base score is 7.8 (High).

Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique OS Credential Dumping (T1003); ranked at the 0.9th 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-8 (Security and Privacy Engineering Principles) — see the control section below for these in your framework.

Synthesised by an AI model from the NVD description and linked references — a reading aid, not an authoritative source.

CVE-2025-47390 is a memory corruption vulnerability, classified under CWE-126 (Buffer Over-read), that occurs while preprocessing IOCTL requests in the JPEG driver. It affects Qualcomm products, as indicated by the vendor's security bulletin.

The vulnerability has a CVSS v3.1 base score of 7.8 (AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H), indicating a high-severity issue exploitable by a local attacker with low privileges. Exploitation requires low complexity and no user interaction, potentially allowing the attacker to achieve high impacts on confidentiality, integrity, and availability, such as arbitrary code execution or system denial of service.

Qualcomm has published a security bulletin in April 2026 addressing this vulnerability, available at https://docs.qualcomm.com/product/publicresources/securitybulletin/april-2026-bulletin.html, which provides details on affected versions and recommended mitigations or patches.

Mitigating Controls

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

Developer testing and evaluation (static analysis, fuzzing, bounds checking tests) directly finds buffer over-read flaws.

Engineering principles such as memory-safe design and bounds-checked abstractions structurally stop introduction of out-of-bounds reads.

Process isolation limits the blast radius of an over-read to the compromised domain.

Input validation enforces length and index constraints that prevent many externally triggered over-reads.
