CVE-2024-49414

Recent-app disclosure via unchecked DeX status

Published Dec 3, 2024 · Updated Dec 3, 2024

Authentication bypass in DeX Mode on Samsung Android 12 through 14 allows physically proximate attackers to view the recent-app list. An alternate DeX Mode path omits the status check required before displaying the recent-apps interface. The flaw requires physical access to an affected device and exposes only a temporary view, without reported data modification or service interruption.
