A critical modem firmware flaw in UNISOC chipsets allows attackers to execute arbitrary code with kernel privileges via video calls, affecting devices like Xiaomi Redmi A5 and Motorola E13. No vendor patch has been reported yet, leaving device owners vulnerable until firmware updates arrive.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Semiconductors.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

You need to urgently audit any reliance on UNISOC chipsets for critical security boundaries as the firmware flaw lets attackers reach kernel-level execution via video calls. This gap turns your device into an open target until patches arrive, so cut dependencies or demand fixes now.
