Privilege escalation via loadUrl open redirect
Published Mar 28, 2023 · Updated Feb 19, 2025
Open redirect in Samsung Galaxy S21 before 4.5.40.5 allows local users to execute code through attacker-controlled content. The loadUrl redirection handler accepts an attacker-selected destination and loads content from an untrusted site without restricting navigation to trusted origins. Exploitation requires low-privileged code execution and user interaction, and the redirect must be chained with another flaw to run code as the current user.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
Compare these published version ranges with your installed build and any vendor patches.
