An attacker may gain access (by elevated privileges) to CT50-Ex mobile computers through a vulnerability in a system service running the Android Operating System (OS). The system service improperly validates incoming connection requests. Although the vulnerability is significant, currently no known exploits publicly available.
A skilled attacker with advanced knowledge of the target system could exploit this vulnerability by creating an application that would successfully bind to the service and gain elevated system privileges. This may enable the attacker to obtain access to keystrokes, passwords, personal identifiable information, photos, emails, or business-critical documents.
