Unisoc VoLTE Exploit Chain Enables Full Android Kernel Access

Unisoc VoLTE exploit chain grants full Android kernel access on budget devices, plus critical OAuth token exposure and privilege escalation CVEs.

  • Unisoc VoLTE Exploit Chain Enables Full Android Kernel Access
    Researchers demonstrated full Android kernel access through a Unisoc VoLTE video call exploit chain.
    • Affected devices use Unisoc modem firmware, including Motorola E13, Realme C33, and Xiaomi Redmi A5.
    • Tested versions included Xiaomi Redmi A5 with the 2026-01-01 patch, Motorola E13 with the 2025-02-01 patch, and Realme C33 with the July 2025 update.
    • A malformed SIP video call first enables code execution in the modem context.
    • The exploit disables protections on MPU region 0, granting modem code read, write, and execute access across the 32-bit physical address space.
    • Completing the chain requires attacker-controlled VoLTE infrastructure and a victim who answers the video call; no vendor fix was reported.
