Vulnerability Assessment

Exploitation Conditions

Exploitation requires a victim running Samsung Internet prior to version 30.0.5.24 to visit or interact with attacker-controlled web content (UI:P passive user interaction) that supplies specially crafted input the browser fails to validate, enabling arbitrary script injection. The CVSS 4.0 AT:P metric indicates an additional attack precondition beyond attacker control must be present for the exploit to succeed. Limiting factors: no authentication is needed (PR:N) but user interaction is mandatory, the vulnerable version range is bounded (fixed in 30.0.5.24), impact is confined to confidentiality (no integrity or availability effect), and exposure is limited to the Samsung Internet browser context rather than the host OS or other applications.

Impact

This is a medium-severity (CVSS 4.0 base 6.0) script-injection flaw in the Samsung Internet browser, confirmed and reported by Samsung's own product security team (mobile.security@samsung.com). The CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:P/VC:H/VI:N/VA:N) indicates a network-reachable, unauthenticated issue (PR:N) that nonetheless requires a present attack condition (AT:P) and passive user interaction (UI:P) to trigger, with impact limited to confidentiality (VC:H) and no integrity or availability effect. The combined need for an attack precondition and user interaction materially lowers real-world exploitability relative to the raw network vector. No EPSS score, CISA KEV listing, or public POC was provided in the input, so there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and no evidence of active exploitation. Net assessment: a legitimate but not emergency priority - patch in normal mobile-update cadence rather than as a fire-drill. Note a data gap: CWE is listed as N/A despite the description clearly describing a script/code-injection (CWE-79/CWE-94 class) issue - classification should be verified against the Samsung advisory.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker hosts or injects crafted web content that exploits improper input validation in Samsung Internet; when a victim using a version prior to 30.0.5.24 visits or interacts with that content, attacker-controlled script executes in the browser context and can exfiltrate session data or sensitive page information (VC:H). No public exploit code was identified in the provided data, and success depends on the required user interaction and the attack precondition indicated by AT:P.

AnalysisAIv1 – Oct 12, 2026

Samsung Internet versions prior to 30.0.5.24 are susceptible to script injection due to improper input validation, allowing unauthenticated remote attackers to compromise confidentiality of user data (CVSS 4.0 base 6.0). Exploitation requires passive user interaction (e.g., visiting a malicious page), and the assessed impact is limited to confidentiality (VC:H, VI:N, VA:N). The flaw was confirmed by Samsung's product security team; no public exploit has been identified at time of analysis.

RemediationAI

Upgrade to Samsung Internet version 30.0.5.24 or later, which is the vendor-released patch that addresses the improper input validation. Users should update the browser via the Google Play Store or Samsung Galaxy Store. As a compensating control, exercise caution when visiting untrusted websites and avoid clicking suspicious links, though this only reduces the attack surface and does not fully mitigate the flaw. The vendor advisory at https://security.samsungmobile.com/serviceWeb.smsb?year=2026&month=10 provides further details.

Technical ContextAI · show details

The vulnerability stems from improper input validation in the Samsung Internet browser's handling of certain web content, which permits an attacker to inject arbitrary script. This weakness class (improper input validation, CWE-20) often manifests as cross-site scripting (XSS), but the assigned CWE is not provided. The CVSS 4.0 vector includes AT:P, indicating an additional attack precondition beyond the attacker's control must be present for successful exploitation. The impact is bounded: according to the assessed CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N), only confidentiality is affected-no integrity or availability impact-so the injected script can read sensitive data within the browser context but cannot modify or disrupt it. No CPE strings were supplied in the source data.
