Experts at CertiK have discovered a vulnerability in the Solana smartphone bootloader that allows unrestricted access to device data.
During the tests, the CertiK team was able to unlock bootloader, a program that runs at the very beginning of the device and loads the necessary components to run the operating system. After opening access to the smartphone’s bootloader Solana Saga security researchers were able to gain access to all of the mobile device’s data.
The CertiK team published a video on the official X account (formerly Twitter) showing the process of breaking Solana Saga’s security.
According to cybersecurity experts CertiK, the identified vulnerability poses a threat not only to Solana smartphone owners, but also “to the entire Web3 industry”
