Privileged content-provider access via unsanitized intents
Published Aug 10, 2023 · Updated Oct 8, 2024
Incorrect authorization in Samsung Galaxy Store before 4.5.56.6 allows local users to access privileged content providers through crafted intents. Galaxy Store insufficiently sanitizes an incoming intent before accessing the selected content provider with the application's own permissions. Exploitation requires code running locally on a Galaxy device and grants Galaxy Store-level provider access, enabling data reads and limited writes.
