## Threat actors targeting Qualcomm

Named threat actors attributed to campaigns that involve Qualcomm products or CVEs, with the number of linked campaigns:

- [APT29](https://intel.threadlinqs.com/actor/APT29) — 1 campaign
- [UNC2452](https://intel.threadlinqs.com/actor/UNC2452) — 1 campaign

## How to prioritise Qualcomm patching

This order follows the data Threadlinqs holds for Qualcomm, not a generic severity checklist:

- 3 of 5 Qualcomm CVEs (60%) are in CISA KEV: treat them as actively exploited and remediate them first, starting with [CVE-2026-21385](https://intel.threadlinqs.com/cve/CVE-2026-21385), [CVE-2025-27038](https://intel.threadlinqs.com/cve/CVE-2025-27038), [CVE-2024-43047](https://intel.threadlinqs.com/cve/CVE-2024-43047).
- Outside KEV, the highest EPSS scores are [CVE-2026-22104](https://intel.threadlinqs.com/cve/CVE-2026-22104) (0.5%), [CVE-2026-25262](https://intel.threadlinqs.com/cve/CVE-2026-25262) (0.1%).
- 1 CVE scores Critical and 3 High on CVSS v3 (maximum 9.8, average 8); sequence these after KEV and high-EPSS items.
- 4 CVEs have a public exploit or proof of concept recorded, which shortens the time from disclosure to attack.
