Wi-Fi password disclosure via sensitive log entry
Published Mar 8, 2022 · Updated Aug 3, 2024
Information exposure in Samsung Watch Active2 Plugin before 2.2.08.22012751 allows local users to read connected Wi-Fi passwords from logs. The plugin writes the connected Wi-Fi access-point password to a device log without preventing privileged log readers from retrieving it. The attacker requires local access and high privileges to read the log; the published impact is limited to password confidentiality.
