# CVE-2025-27038: Qualcomm Multiple Chipsets Use-After-Free Vulnerability

**Signal:** Exploited: patch now if you run it. CISA has confirmed exploitation in the wild. (Computed from CISA KEV, EPSS and CVSS; not an editorial verdict.)

## Should you act?

- Yes, if you run Qualcomm Multiple Chipsets. CISA added this CVE to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog on 2025-06-03, which means there is reliable evidence of exploitation in the wild. US federal agencies must remediate by 2025-06-24 ; treat that as the outer limit, not the target.
- EPSS 1.0% , percentile 63: FIRST’s model estimates a 1.0% chance of exploitation activity in the next 30 days, higher than 63% of all scored CVEs (moderate). EPSS is a probability, not a verdict.
- Needs a user to click or open something. Phishing makes that realistic, but it is not wormable.

## What it is

Memory corruption while rendering graphics using Adreno GPU drivers in Chrome.

## Affected products (CVE record)

- Qualcomm, Inc. Snapdragon: AR8031, CSRA6620, CSRA6640, FastConnect 7800, QCA2066, QCA6391, QCM6125, QCM8550, QCN9011, QCN9012, QCS6125, QCS8550

## Severity

- qualcomm CVSS 3.1: 7.5 `CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H`

## Exploitation

- CISA KEV: added 2025-06-03; federal due date 2025-06-24. Known ransomware use: Unknown.
- CISA required action: Apply mitigations per vendor instructions, follow applicable BOD 22-01 guidance for cloud services, or discontinue use of the product if mitigations are unavailable.
- CISA SSVC assessment: exploitation active , automatable no , technical impact total .
- FIRST EPSS (model of 2026-10-21): 1.02% probability of exploitation activity in the next 30 days; percentile 63.
