Information disclosure via unprotected implicit intent
Published Feb 9, 2023 · Updated Mar 24, 2025
Improper access control in Samsung Cloud before 5.3.0.32 allows local users to read privileged information via an implicit intent. The vulnerable flow uses an implicit Android intent without adequate access control, exposing Samsung Cloud-privileged information to another local app. Exploitation requires code running locally on an affected Galaxy device; the reported impact is limited to information access.
