CVE-2024-12603Network attack vector

Application password bypass via client-side enforcement

Published Dec 13, 2024 · Updated Sep 5, 2025

Authentication bypass in TECNO Mobile App Lock 1.1.2.269 and later before 1.1.2.292 allows attackers to bypass the application password. The application enforces access to protected apps on the client side, but TECNO has not disclosed the specific code path or input that skips validation. The public record identifies no prerequisite credentials or user interaction, and the demonstrated consequence is limited to opening applications guarded by App Lock.
