Local information disclosure via implicit intent
Published Oct 8, 2024 · Updated Oct 8, 2024
Use of an implicit intent in Samsung Electronics Sound Assistant before 6.1.0.9 allows local users to read sensitive information. An unspecified Sound Assistant communication sends sensitive data through an Android implicit intent without naming its intended recipient, allowing another installed app with a matching intent filter to receive it. Exploitation requires local execution on the Galaxy device; the published impact is limited to information disclosure, and Samsung has not identified the exposed data.
