Local SystemUI code execution
Published Oct 10, 2025 · Updated Oct 10, 2025
Improper access control in Samsung Routines before 4.8.7.1 on Android 15 and before 4.9.6.0 on Android 16 allows local attackers to run code. Samsung identifies only missing validation logic in Routines and has not disclosed the affected component, input path, or validation error. A local attacker needs no prior privileges or user interaction; successful exploitation executes attacker-controlled code with SystemUI privilege and can affect device confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
