CVE-2018-11922

Unnoticed collection of user behavior data

Published Nov 26, 2024 · Updated Nov 26, 2024

Configuration weakness in TouchPal on affected Qualcomm Snapdragon platforms allows local users to collect behavior data without notice. Qualcomm has not disclosed which TouchPal setting is wrong or which collection path processes the behavior data. Reachability requires an affected platform with TouchPal present; the published record does not identify the collected data or any further consequence.
