Wi-Fi password disclosure via application logging
Published Mar 8, 2022 · Updated Aug 3, 2024
Information exposure in Samsung Electronics Watch Active Plugin before 2.2.07.22012751 allows local users to read Wi-Fi passwords from logs. The plugin writes password information for the connected Wi-Fi access point into an application log, where users with sufficient log access can retrieve it. The published assessment requires local privileged access and reports password disclosure only, with no integrity or availability impact.
