Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.

NVD · unedited
Information disclosure in modem due to improper input validation during parsing of upcoming CoAP message

Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

dbcve analysis · moderate confidence

Vulnerability in modem firmware allows information disclosure due to improper input validation when parsing CoAP (Constrained Application Protocol) messages. An attacker could send specially crafted CoAP messages to the modem to trigger the parsing vulnerability and potentially expose sensitive information from the modem's memory or processing.

MitigationApply vendor-provided firmware updates for the affected modem. If no patch is available, consider network segmentation to limit modem exposure and implement additional filtering for CoAP traffic at network boundaries.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.

dbcve checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Identify Qualcomm modem model in use
    Review hardware documentation, device inventory, or run modem diagnostic commands (such as AT+CGMM or AT+CGMI) to query the modem's model identifier
    Affected if The modem model matches Mdm8207, Mdm9205, Mdm9206, Mdm9207, Qca4004, Qts110, Snapdragon Wear 1100, or Snapdragon Wear 1200
  2. Query modem firmware version
    Execute AT commands (such as AT+CGMR or AT+GMR) or check system logs to retrieve the installed firmware version
    Affected if Any firmware version is returned for one of the affected modem models (all versions are vulnerable)
  3. Verify CoAP protocol is enabled
    Check modem configuration settings, firmware documentation, or network traffic analysis to determine if the CoAP service is active on the device
    Affected if CoAP is enabled and accessible on the modem, as this is the attack vector for the vulnerability
  4. Assess network exposure of the modem
    Review network architecture, firewall rules, and access controls to determine if the modem's CoAP ports are reachable from untrusted networks
    Affected if The modem or its CoAP service is directly accessible from network segments outside the trusted device management network

If a device contains any of the listed Qualcomm modem models with CoAP enabled and network accessibility, it is affected by this vulnerability.
