CVE-2022-39887

Unauthorized EDM configuration via missing permission

Published Nov 9, 2022 · Updated May 1, 2025

Improper access control in MiscPolicy on Samsung Mobile Devices with Android 10 through 12 allows local users to alter an EDM setting. The clearAllGlobalProxy operation accepts an unauthorized local caller because the service omits the permission required to protect enterprise device-management configuration. A malicious application running locally can clear the global proxy configuration, changing device-managed network behavior without authorization.
