Sensitive information disclosure via implicit intent redirection
Published Aug 5, 2022 · Updated Aug 3, 2024
Intent redirection in Samsung Email before 6.1.70.20 allows local users to obtain sensitive information through an implicit intent. An affected component sends an implicit Android intent that another application can resolve and intercept instead of restricting delivery to the intended recipient. A malicious application must already be running on the Galaxy device; exploitation exposes information available to the redirected intent without modifying data or interrupting service.
