Cyber Secuirty firm has found a vulnerability in Android phones that are using Qualcomm processor.
The vulnerability emerged in 2011 as vulnerable APIs.
Secuirty researchers have warned that it could have put millions of smartphone users at risk.
This vulnerability if exploited, allows the hacker to get access to sensitive details of the user.
The software package is open source, it could also affect the other projects which also includes Cyanogenmod.
However, the data is usable by invoking permissions which are already seeked by millions of Google Play Apps.
Any app could interact with this API without triggering any alerts, states FireEye.
Its hard to believe that any antivirus would flag this threat.
This will make it particularly difficult to patch all affected devices, if not impossible.
