The U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has added Pacific Network Corp, along with its subsidiary ComNet (USA) LLC, and China Unicom (Americas) Operations Limited, to the list of communications equipment and services that have been deemed a threat to national security.

The agency said the companies are subject to the Chinese government's exploitation, influence, and control, and could be forced to comply with requests for intercepting and misrouting communications, without the ability to challenge such requests.

The Public Safety and Homeland Security Bureau further noted that equipment and services from ComNet and China Unicom could present an opportunity for the Chinese government to carry out espionage operations and gather intelligence against the U.S.

Alternatively, they could also provide the Chinese government with a strategic capability to "target, collect, alter, block, and reroute network traffic."

China Unicom also earned a place on the list for being a Chinese state-owned operator and for engaging in commercial relationships with Chinese entities that are in violation of "American national security and economic interests."

The development came nearly six months after the FCC added Russian cybersecurity firm Kaspersky as well as China Telecom (Americas) Corp and China Mobile International USA in late March 2022.

Other entities that have been added to the list to date since March 2021 include Huawei Technologies Company, ZTE Corporation, Hytera Communications Corporation, Hangzhou Hikvision Digital Technology Company, and Dahua Technology Company.

News of the latest additions to the Covered List also follows calls from the departments of Defense and Justice to address weaknesses threatening the security of internet routing.

"Known vulnerabilities in the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP), which governs internet traffic routing, continue to put U.S. person and commercial data and communications at risk of theft, espionage, and sabotage by foreign adversaries," the agencies said in a release last week.

The Android Security Bulletin contains details of security vulnerabilities affecting Android devices. Security patch levels of 2022-09-05 or later address all of these issues. To learn how to check a device's security patch level, see Check and update your Android version.

Android partners are notified of all issues at least a month before publication. Source code patches for these issues will be released to the Android Open Source Project (AOSP) repository in the next 48 hours. We will revise this bulletin with the AOSP links when they are available.

The most severe of these issues is a high security vulnerability in the Framework component that could lead to local escalation of privilege with no additional execution privileges needed. The severity assessment is based on the effect that exploiting the vulnerability would possibly have on an affected device, assuming the platform and service mitigations are turned off for development purposes or if successfully bypassed.

Refer to the Android and Google Play Protect mitigations section for details on the Android security platform protections and Google Play Protect, which improve the security of the Android platform.

**Android and Google service mitigations**

This is a summary of the mitigations provided by the Android security platform and service protections such as Google Play Protect. These capabilities reduce the likelihood that security vulnerabilities could be successfully exploited on Android.

*   Exploitation for many issues on Android is made more difficult by enhancements in newer versions of the Android platform. We encourage all users to update to the latest version of Android where possible.
*   The Android security team actively monitors for abuse through Google Play Protect and warns users about Potentially Harmful Applications. Google Play Protect is enabled by default on devices with Google Mobile Services, and is especially important for users who install apps from outside of Google Play.

CVE-2022-20399: Android Security Bulletin—September 2022  |  Android Open Source Project

US lawmakers keep warning about the popular app. But until they can explain what makes it uniquely dangerous, it’s difficult to tailor a resolution.

Amid a flurry of talking points and takedowns as the United States midterm elections loom, lawmakers and regulators have reheated claims about TikTok, a social media app they say poses a threat to personal privacy and US national security. Now, the Biden administration is reportedly readying its own action. But the exact scope of the problem and goals remain fuzzy. Owned by the Chinese tech giant Bytedance, TikTok has more than a billion users, including an estimated 135 million in the US, and some lawmakers, including former president Donald Trump, have warned over the past two years that the Chinese government could use the app to collect data on Americans or launch influence operations through the platform.

The US military banned its members from using TikTok on government devices or at all in late 2019 and early 2020, as did the Transportation Security Administration and some other federal agencies. Just last month, the chief administrative officer for the US House of Representatives warned lawmakers against installing TikTok due to the data it can collect. This followed a June 17 BuzzFeed News report, which found that ByteDance employees can and do gain access to US TikTok users' data in some situations. But for the general public, warnings from legislators and regulators this summer have continued to be vague and amorphous, underscoring broader ambiguity about where lawmakers' precise concerns lie. 

With so many users, TikTok is clearly a potentially rich source of personal data and could be exploited in the way other social platforms have been to spread disinformation or promote influence operations. But the reason TikTok has been singled out is less clear. Huge quantities of sensitive data about people living in the US are already available in various forms for purchase or the taking through other public social media platforms, the digital marketing industry, data brokers, and leaked stolen data troves. And long before the rise of TikTok, China was already notorious on the global stage for stealing massive quantities of data about Americans and others from governments and companies around the world. So, is it protectionism? Xenophobia? Special insight into US national security?

A report published by Semafor on Friday indicates that the Biden administration is preparing a series of executive orders to address TikTok and the Chinese tech sector's access to Americans' data more broadly. The report says the White House's actions could significantly curtail US investment in China, while other potential measures may limit what technology can be sold to Chinese clients and specifically limit the data Chinese tech companies can collect about US citizens.

Such steps would be less dramatic than the approach to TikTok taken by Biden's predecessor but would have a larger scope and wider set of potential ramifications. In the waning months of the Trump administration, the White House attempted to block TikTok from US app stores if ByteDance didn't sell the company to a US-based firm. Though the move failed, TikTok took steps to silo itself from its Chinese owners and announced in June that all US user traffic would be routed in the US. The company is still working on deleting all user data from its own servers in favor of processing everything in Oracle's cloud. The company stores data backups in the US and Singapore.

“The thing about TikTok is that a lot of people use it!” says Rui Zhong, a researcher at the Kissinger Institute on China and the United States. “The Trump administration also tried to ban WeChat, which is not just a communication platform but a technology platform that vacuums up reams of your data—more so than TikTok. But WeChat is almost exclusively used in the US by the Chinese diaspora, whereas TikTok is just broadly popular with Americans.”

She adds that while, from a US national security perspective, the existential threats are worth acknowledging, there wasn't enough information available about concrete concerns when the TikTok ban was on the table a couple of years ago or in remarks this summer. US officials still don't seem, at least publicly, to have a smoking gun illustrating the urgency of the threat. “It needed a better case built around it, and at the time in 2019 they just didn’t seem to have that case,” Zhong says. “Whether they will have something they can show Americans in the future or not, I can’t say.”

On June 24, days after the BuzzFeed report, a group of Republican senators led by Tom Cotton of Arkansas sent a letter to Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen “to inquire about the Biden administration’s delayed response to the national security and privacy risks posed by TikTok.” On June 28, a different group of nine Republican senators sent a letter to TikTok's CEO, Shou Zi Chew, laying out questions about the company's data management practices and relationship with ByteDance given that the company has always maintained that they will not share US user data with the Chinese government. On July 5, a bipartisan duo from the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence—democrat Mark Warner of Virginia and Republican Marco Rubio of Florida—sent a letter to the Federal Trade Commission urging the agency to investigate TikTok and ByteDance for “repeated misrepresentations by TikTok concerning its data security, data processing, and corporate governance practices.”

In a series of responses this summer both to lawmakers and the public, TikTok has staunchly maintained that it does not and would never share US user data with the Chinese government, and that it is a separate US-based entity subject to US laws. The company does not report publicly on government data requests, but it does publish a twice-annual report about government requests to remove content from the service. The latter report indicates that the company has never fulfilled a removal request from China.

The bottom line, though, is that TikTok is owned by ByteDance. And some ByteDance employees can access TikTok user data. Does that mean the ruling Chinese Communist Party (CCP) can get that data too? In his June 30 response to the nine Republican senators, TikTok's Chew said, “Employees outside the US, including China-based employees, can have access to TikTok US user data subject to a series of robust cybersecurity controls and authorization approval protocols overseen by our US-based security team.” He described at length the layers of classification and restriction that protect user data from being accessed casually or without oversight. Chew and TikTok have long maintained that it they “have not provided US user data to the CCP, nor would we if asked.” When WIRED asked TikTok how this squares with the reality that ByteDance has access and could be compelled to exercise it under Chinese law, spokesperson Maureen Shanahan said, “TikTok is provided in the United States by TikTok Inc., which is incorporated in California and subject to US laws and regulations.”

Still, it is unclear whether TikTok poses a unique and specific threat to US national security or if it is simply a convenient proxy through which lawmakers are grappling with larger issues of data security and privacy, disinformation, content moderation, and influence in a globalized tech market. Similarly, the Chinese telecom giant Huawei faced controversy over whether the US should incorporate Chinese-made hardware into domestic 5G infrastructure, which was ultimately banned.

“There are definitely signs that Chinese influence efforts are likely to grow, linked to the Chinese government’s strategy more broadly of digital authoritarianism,” says Kian Vesteinsson, a research analyst for the nonprofit digital rights think tank Freedom House. “But it’s important for us to acknowledge that the US government has its own shadowy national security surveillance authorities. And in recent years, US government agencies have monitored social media accounts of people coordinating protests in the US and done things like searched electronic devices throughout the country and at the border. These sorts of tactics undermine the idea that this is only a foreign threat.”

Then there's the power imbalance TikTok may create. One thing about TikTok, in particular, is that its popularity and proliferation within the US could make it a one-stop shop for the Chinese government to mine the data of US users and launch influence operations in the US. Meanwhile, the US government may feel that it lacks a comparable mechanism through which it can so directly pull Chinese user data and work to sway public opinion in China.

“Let's assume for a second that US intelligence has access to WeChat. They would have to fight hard for that access, and it would constantly be at risk of discovery and neutralization. China, on the other hand, doesn't have to fight for access to TikTok; they have it by statutory authority,” says Jake Williams, director of cyber-threat intelligence at the security firm Scythe and a former National Security Agency hacker. “By itself, I don't think that the TikTok app on people's devices is a significant threat, but the potential for Chinese data collection across the platform is a larger concern, especially when combined with other data already acquired by Chinese state actors.”

Given its immense popularity, its ownership, and the fact that the bulk of TikTok activity is public by nature, there is no clear technical solution to boxing China out of the service. The question is whether the US government wants to devise a business solution or incentivize development of an appealing alternative platform. Still, privacy violations, security concerns, and foreign influence operations against US residents through social media are problems the US government has yet to solve. And neither technology bans nor countersurveillance will make them go away.

“One thing that we really should escalate here is that the US should be leading by example,” Freedom House's Vesteinsson says. “When we talk about expanding the US government’s surveillance powers, that sets a really bad example for governments around the world.”

It’s Time to Get Real About TikTok’s Risks

Earlier this year, the OpenSSF unveiled a 10-point plan at the Open Source Security Summit hosted in conjunction with the White House in May. The plan feeds into 10 different workstreams, like finding ways to reduce patching response times for open source software, developing new metrics to track code and components, moving the industry away from non-memory safe programming languages that make it difficult to find and fix vulnerabilities, establishing a framework for incident response teams that can be deployed across the open source community and conducting annual third-party reviews of the top 200 most critical open source security components.

More recently, the OpenSSF hosted a Town Hall especially for open source software maintainers, contributors, software developers, and open source software users who know security is important, but haven’t made the leap to join an OpenSSF Working Group or Project yet. On Tuesday, Sept. 13, they will be hosting an OpenSSF Day EU at the Open Source Summit Europe in Dublin, Ireland, and online.

Capital One joins other OpenSSF premier members 1Password, AWS, Atlassian, Cisco, Citi, Coinbase, Dell Technologies, Ericsson, Fidelity, GitHub, Google, Huawei, Intel, IBM, JFrog, JPMorgan Chase, Meta, Microsoft, Morgan Stanley, Oracle, Red Hat, Snyk, Sonatype, VMware, and Wipro.
