Protected-data disclosure via incorrect unzip logic
Published Sep 3, 2025 · Updated Sep 3, 2025
Improper access control in Samsung Galaxy Store before 4.5.53.6 allows local users to read protected data through an exported service. The exported service reaches incorrectly implemented unzip logic, but Samsung has not disclosed the service name or the exact unsafe operation. Exploitation requires local low-privileged access on the device and compromises protected-data confidentiality, with limited integrity impact.
