CVE-2022-39858

Arbitrary file write via path traversal

Published Oct 7, 2022 · Updated Aug 3, 2024

Path traversal in AtBroadcastReceiver in Samsung Electronics FactoryCamera before 3.5.51 allows local users to write arbitrary files. AtBroadcastReceiver accepts an attacker-controlled path without adequate validation, permitting writes outside the intended directory under the application's privileges. No authentication or user interaction is required, but execution on the same mobile device is required; resulting writes carry FactoryCamera privileges.
