CVE-2022-39892

Unauthenticated access via Keep open

Published Nov 9, 2022 · Updated May 1, 2025

Improper authentication in Samsung Pass before 4.0.05.1 allows attackers to open the app without authentication through Keep open. The Keep open flow omits an authentication check before granting access, and the patched release adds that missing check. Exploitation requires local interaction with Samsung Pass after Keep open has been enabled; the published consequence is limited to unauthorized app access.
