CVE-2026-55285
CVE-2026-55285 is a CWE-120 vulnerability in platform/hardware/nxp/secure_element. O3 Security confirms whether CVE-2026-55285 is actually reachable in your code before you act, and blocks exploitation at runtime until you patch.
Exploitation Status
No confirmed exploitation observed yet
- A successful exploit gives an attacker total control of the affected component, not partial access.
- CISA’s own triage has not observed active exploitation or public proof-of-concept code for this CVE as of its last assessment.

Real-World Exposure
platform/hardware/nxp/secure_element📦platform/hardware/nxp/secure_element📦platform/hardware/nxp/secure_element📦platform/hardware/nxp/secure_elementReal-time download stats are indexed for npm and PyPI packages. This vulnerability affects Android packages — download data is not available via public APIs for these ecosystems.
Description
In openLogicalChannel of multiple files, there is a possible out-of-bounds write due to a missing bounds check. This could lead to local escalation of privilege with no additional execution privileges needed. User interaction is not needed for exploitation.

Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for platform/hardware/nxp/secure_element. O3's reachability analysis confirms whether the vulnerable code path is actually invoked in your application, so you act on real exposure instead of every transitive match.
Fix
Update platform/hardware/nxp/secure_element to 17-next:2026-09-01 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms CVE-2026-55285 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.
Workarounds
If you can't upgrade right away: gate or disable the affected feature, validate untrusted input at the boundary, and avoid passing attacker-controlled data into the vulnerable path. O3's runtime protection blocks exploitation in production as an interim safeguard until the upgrade lands.
How O3 protects you
O3 pinpoints whether CVE-2026-55285 is reachable in your code and exactly where to fix it, then blocks exploitation in production at runtime until the patched version is deployed.
Tailored to CVE-2026-55285. Runtime protection reduces exposure until a permanent patch is applied and verified — it complements patching, it doesn't replace it.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is CVE-2026-55285 in your dependencies?
O3 detects CVE-2026-55285 across Android dependencies and uses function-level reachability to confirm whether the vulnerable code path is actually reachable — not just present. No false positives.
