"CISA Warns of Pixel Phone Vulnerability Exploitation"

The US cybersecurity agency CISA recently added flaws impacting Pixel phones and Sunhillo software to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog.  The exploited Pixel vulnerability is tracked as CVE-2023-21237.  The flaw was patched in June 2023, and Google warned that it had been aware of “limited targeted exploitation,” but the company published its security bulletin for Pixel phones a week after the general Android security bulletin, and CVE-2023-21237 went unnoticed.  CISA noted that CVE-2023-21237 impacts the Framework component and is related to hiding foreground service notifications due to a misleading or insufficient UI.  An attacker could exploit it to obtain sensitive information without the need for additional execution privileges or user interaction.  The second vulnerability added by CISA to its KEV list is CVE-2021-36380, which impacts Sunhillo SureLine. Sunhillo provides surveillance data distribution and conversion products for the aviation industry, and SureLine is described as the backbone of the company’s surveillance gateway products.  CVE-2021-36380 was disclosed by NCC Group and patched in the summer of 2021.  The NCC Group described the flaw as a critical unauthenticated OS command injection issue that could allow an attacker to take complete control of the targeted system.  CISA has instructed federal agencies to address these vulnerabilities by March 26.
