Local privileged file access via improper access control
Published Apr 11, 2022 · Updated Aug 3, 2024
Improper access control in Samsung Electronics FactoryCamera before 2.1.96 allows local users to access files with system privilege. The vendor does not disclose the specific file path or permission check that fails, so the vulnerable operation remains unspecified. Exploitation requires code running on the Android device; successful access gives attackers files under system privilege, with no network reachability described.
