Privileged data disclosure via named pipe permissions
Published Feb 7, 2024 · Updated May 15, 2025
Improper privilege control in Samsung Magician Software for Windows 8.0.0 allows local users to read privileged data through a named pipe. The named pipe applies insufficient access controls to local client connections, exposing data handled with the software's elevated privileges. Exploitation requires local low-privileged access and user interaction; Samsung has not disclosed the pipe name or the exact exposed data.
