Path traversal in SemClipboardService prior to SMR Jul-2026 Release 1 allows local privileged attackers to access files with system privilege.
AnalysisAI
Path traversal in Samsung's SemClipboardService exposes arbitrary system-privileged files to local low-privileged attackers on Samsung Mobile Devices running Android 14, 15, and 16. The CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H) confirms that a local application with minimal privileges can exploit the service to read protected system files, bypassing Android's permission model. …

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires physical or logical local access to the Samsung device and at minimum low-level privileges consistent with a standard installed application (PR:L per CVSS 4.0 vector). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 4.0 score of 6.8 with vector AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N accurately characterizes a local, low-complexity, low-privilege exploit with high confidentiality impact and no effect on integrity or availability. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | A malicious application installed on an unpatched Samsung device running Android 14, 15, or 16 invokes SemClipboardService via its IPC interface, supplying a crafted file path containing directory traversal sequences. The service resolves the path within its system-privileged context, inadvertently accessing files outside the intended directory - such as system credential stores or configuration files - and returning their contents to the calling application. … |
| Remediation | Apply Samsung's SMR Jul-2026 Release 1, which patches this vulnerability across Android 14, 15, and 16. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
