Local user-information disclosure via logs
Published Jun 11, 2021 · Updated Aug 3, 2024
Information Exposure in Samsung SmartThings before 1.7.64.21 allows attackers to access user information through locally readable logs. The vendor identifies log output as the disclosure path but does not publish the specific logging component or unsafe operation that exposes the data. Exploitation requires local access to the device or its logs; the documented consequence is confidentiality loss of user information, without stated integrity or availability impact.
