HTTPS traffic disclosure via missing hostname validation
Published May 16, 2025 · Updated May 17, 2025
Improper certificate validation in Samsung Internet for Galaxy Watch 5.0.9 allows man-in-the-middle attackers to read HTTPS traffic. The browser accepts a trusted CA certificate for an attacker-controlled domain without checking that its domain matches the requested website. Exploitation requires control of the watch's network path, such as a malicious Wi-Fi access point or manipulated DNS, and exposes visited sites and transmitted secrets.
