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.","severity":{"version":"3.0","score":7.1,"vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:N","level":"high","assessor":"primary","from":"nvd"},"epss":{"day":"2026-11-09","score":0.00358,"percentile":0.29739,"model":"v2026.06.15"},"facts":{"in_kev":false,"known_exploited":false,"public_exploit":false,"fix_available":false},"cwes":["CWE-732"],"published":"2019-04-25T19:27:26Z","modified":"2026-06-17T01:42:00Z","products":[{"vendor":"asus","product":"zenfone_3_max_firmware"}],"references":[{"url":"https://www.kryptowire.com/portal/android-firmware-defcon-2018/","tags":["x_refsource_MISC","x_transferred","Third Party Advisory"]},{"url":"https://www.kryptowire.com","tags":["x_refsource_MISC","x_transferred","Third Party Advisory"]},{"url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2018-14980"},{"url":"https://www.kryptowire.com/portal/android-firmware-defcon-2018"},{"url":"https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-c6g2-p9rv-24xp"}],"sources":{"cve":[{"id":"CVE-2018-14980","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.
