{"schemaVersion":3,"id":"CVE-2018-14980","aliases":[],"status":"published","duplicateOf":null,"title":null,"description":"The ASUS ZenFone 3 Max Android device with a build fingerprint of asus/US_Phone/ASUS_X008_1:7.0/NRD90M/US_Phone-14.14.1711.92-20171208:user/release-keys contains the android framework (i.e., system_server) with a package name of android (versionCode=24, versionName=7.0) that has been modified by ASUS or another entity in the supply chain. The system_server process in the core android package has an exported broadcast receiver that allows any app co-located on the device to programmatically initiate the taking of a screenshot and have the resulting screenshot be written to external storage (i.e., sdcard). The taking of a screenshot is not transparent to the user; the device has a screen animation as the screenshot is taken and there is a notification indicating that a screenshot occurred. If the attacking app also requests the EXPAND_STATUS_BAR permission, it can wake the device up using certain techniques and expand the status bar to take a screenshot of the user's notifications even if the device has an active screen lock. The notifications may contain sensitive data such as text messages used in two-factor authentication. The system_server process that provides this capability cannot be disabled, as it is part of the Android framework. The notification can be removed by a local Denial of Service (DoS) attack to reboot the device.","dates":{"published":"2019-04-25T19:27:26.000Z","modified":"2024-08-05T09:46:24.905Z","reserved":null,"kevAdded":[],"kevDue":[]},"cvss":{"headline":{"score":7.1,"severity":"high","version":"3.0","versionLabel":"v3.0","source":"NVD","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:N","computed":false,"selection":"backend-summary"},"metrics":[{"version":"3.0","versionLabel":"v3.0","source":"NVD","score":7.1,"severity":"high","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:N","exploitability":null,"impact":null,"computed":false},{"version":"2.0","versionLabel":"v2.0","source":"NVD","score":3.6,"severity":"low","vector":"AV:L/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:N","exploitability":null,"impact":null,"computed":false}]},"epss":{"probability":0.00358,"percentile":0.28039,"severity":"low","asOf":"2026-10-19T00:00:00.000Z","change":{"pp":0,"baselineDate":"2026-09-19T00:00:00.000Z","baselineScore":0.00358},"history":[{"date":"2026-09-14T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00358,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-09-15T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00358,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-09-16T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00358,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-09-17T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00358,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-09-18T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00358,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-09-19T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00358,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-09-20T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00358,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-09-21T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00397,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-09-22T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00358,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-09-23T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00358,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-09-24T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00358,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-09-25T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00358,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-09-26T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00358,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-09-27T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00358,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-09-28T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00358,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-09-29T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00358,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-09-30T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00358,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-10-01T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00358,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-10-02T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00358,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-10-03T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00358,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-10-04T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00358,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-10-05T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00358,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-10-06T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00358,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-10-07T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00358,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-10-08T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00358,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-10-09T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00358,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-10-10T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00358,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-10-11T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00358,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-10-12T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00358,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-10-13T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00358,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-10-14T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00358,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-10-15T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00358,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-10-16T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00358,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-10-17T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00358,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-10-18T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00358,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-10-19T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00358,"percentile":0.28039}],"last30":[{"date":"2026-09-19T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00358,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-09-20T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00358,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-09-21T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00397,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-09-22T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00358,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-09-23T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00358,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-09-24T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00358,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-09-25T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00358,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-09-26T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00358,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-09-27T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00358,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-09-28T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00358,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-09-29T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00358,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-09-30T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00358,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-10-01T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00358,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-10-02T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00358,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-10-03T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00358,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-10-04T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00358,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-10-05T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00358,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-10-06T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00358,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-10-07T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00358,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-10-08T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00358,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-10-09T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00358,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-10-10T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00358,"percentile":null},{"
