CVE-2020-12717
Last modified
CVE-2020-12717 is a medium-severity vulnerability rated 6.5/10 on the CVSS scale. The COVIDSafe (Australia) app 1.0 and 1.1 for iOS allows a remote attacker to crash the app, and consequently interfere with COVID-19 contact tracing, via a Bluetooth advertisement containing manufacturer data that is too short. This occurs because of an erroneous OpenTrace manuData.subdata call. EPSS estimates a 1.39% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
