Summary

CVE-2025-68710 is a low-severity Authentication Bypass Using an Alternate Path or Channel (CWE-288) vulnerability in Google (inferred from references). Its CVSS base score is 2.4 (Low).

Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Exploitation for Privilege Escalation (T1068); ranked at the 8th 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 AC-19 (Access Control for Mobile Devices) and AC-3 (Access Enforcement) — see the control section below for these in your framework.

Vulnerability Data

Easyelife App lock (aka Fingerprint,Applock or locker.app.safe.applocker) 1.9.2 for Android allows a local attacker with physical access to bypass the PIN lock. The lock is implemented as an overlay rather than by using Android's secure authentication APIs. By navigating cascading…

interface flows - insecure navigation through exposed routes facilitates app control evasion {I.N.T.E.R.F.A.C.E] via advertisement or browser intents - an attacker can evade lockscreen verification and access protected apps (e.g., Chrome), resulting in information disclosure and privilege escalation.

MITRE ATT&CK Enterprise TechniquesAI

T1068 Exploitation for Privilege Escalation Privilege Escalation
Adversaries may exploit software vulnerabilities in an attempt to elevate privileges.
T1556.006 Multi-Factor Authentication Defense Impairment
Adversaries may disable or modify multi-factor authentication (MFA) mechanisms to enable persistent access to compromised accounts.
Why these techniques?

Bypass of insecure overlay-based PIN auth enables local privilege escalation (T1068) and directly subverts authentication process/MFA enforcement (T1556.006).

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

prevent

Directly requires proper enforcement of access control decisions rather than permitting bypass via overlay or exposed navigation routes.

prevent

Mandates secure access control mechanisms on mobile devices instead of insecure overlay implementations that allow physical-access bypass.

prevent

Requires use of approved identification and authentication methods (e.g., Android secure APIs) rather than alternate-path overlays.

PR.AA-03 full match
prevents

Requiring authentication on every channel and path directly eliminates alternate-path bypasses.

PR.AA-05 mostly match
prevents

Enforcing authorizations and least privilege across all access vectors prevents unauthenticated alternate paths.

PR.IR-01 mostly match
prevents

Protecting networks and environments from unauthorized logical access blocks bypass via undocumented channels.

detects

Security testing can detect alternate-path bypasses but does not prevent them in production.

degrades

Secure authentication control directly mitigates bypass by requiring strong, consistent authentication on all paths.

prevents

Access control policy directly addresses alternate authentication paths by requiring all channels to enforce authentication.

degrades

Authentication information management ensures credentials and mechanisms are consistently applied across all access paths.

prevents

Access rights provisioning and review prevent bypass via unmonitored or alternate channels.

prevents

Privileged access rights control reduces risk of bypass through elevated or alternate paths.
