Privileged action execution via hijacked PendingIntent
Published Feb 11, 2022 · Updated Aug 3, 2024
PendingIntent hijacking in Samsung Bixby Vision before 3.7.60.8 on Android 12 or 3.7.50.6 on Android 11 allows attackers to run privileged actions. Bixby Vision creates a PendingIntent that another application can hijack and modify, causing an attacker-chosen action to run with Bixby Vision privileges. Exploitation is local and requires user interaction, and the attacker gains only the privileges associated with the invoked action.
