Vulnerability Assessment

Exploitation Conditions

Exploitation requires local access to the target Samsung Android device with at least low-privilege code execution, as confirmed by the CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:L/PR:L). Samsung Members must be installed on the device, which is the default state on Samsung Android handsets. No additional configuration, enabled features, or elevated permissions are required for the attacker (AT:N in the vector). Exploitation is strictly bounded by the local attack vector - remote unauthenticated exploitation is not possible per AV:L. User interaction is not required (UI:N), meaning the malicious activity launch can occur silently without any victim action beyond the attacker obtaining local code execution. Devices running Samsung Members 5.8.01.5 or later are not affected.

Impact

The CVSS 4.0 vector AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N indicates local access, low complexity, no additional attack preconditions, low privileges, and no user interaction required - a relatively permissive local attack profile. The component scores VC:N/VI:L/VA:H indicate no direct confidentiality breach on the vulnerable system, minor integrity impact, and high availability disruption to Samsung Members itself. EPSS data is not available in the provided intelligence, so statistical exploitation probability cannot be quantified. The vulnerability is not listed in CISA KEV, and no public POC is identified at time of analysis. Real-world priority is moderate: exploitation requires an attacker already present on the device (physical access or a malicious installed app), which significantly limits opportunistic mass exploitation. However, the ability to launch arbitrary activities under Samsung Members' privilege context creates a realistic privilege-chaining scenario on Samsung-branded Android devices. The absence of a formal CWE assignment leaves some ambiguity about the precise root cause, which should be confirmed against the vendor advisory.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

A malicious application installed on the target Samsung Android device constructs a crafted intent or input payload targeting Samsung Members' unvalidated input handling. The malicious app passes this payload to Samsung Members, which - lacking proper validation - resolves and launches an attacker-controlled Android activity or loads an attacker-specified URL under Samsung Members' application privilege context. This could be chained to phish the device user via a privileged WebView, or to invoke privileged Samsung-platform activities inaccessible to normal apps. No public POC exists at time of analysis.

AnalysisAIv1 – Jun 05, 2026

Improper input validation in Samsung Members prior to version 5.8.01.5 allows local authenticated attackers to access arbitrary URLs and launch arbitrary Android activities using Samsung Members' application privileges. The CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N) confirms local access with low privileges and no additional preconditions, with the score of 6.9 reflecting a high availability impact on the vulnerable component alongside low integrity impact. No public exploit identified at time of analysis and this vulnerability is not listed in CISA KEV, but the ability to hijack privileged activity launches on Samsung devices makes it a meaningful local privilege-chaining vector.

RemediationAI

Update Samsung Members to version 5.8.01.5 or later, which is the vendor-released patch confirmed by Samsung Mobile's June 2026 security advisory (https://security.samsungmobile.com/serviceWeb.smsb?year=2026&month=06) and EUVD-2026-34809. The update can be applied through the Galaxy Store or via Samsung's built-in app update mechanism on affected devices. As a compensating control where immediate patching is not feasible, restricting installation of untrusted third-party applications via MDM or device policy reduces the likelihood of a malicious app delivering the crafted input required for exploitation - note this does not eliminate physical access vectors. Disabling Samsung Members entirely is a high-impact workaround given the application provides Samsung support functionality and may affect warranty or diagnostic services.

Technical ContextAI · show details

Samsung Members (CPE: cpe:2.3:a:samsung_mobile:samsung_members:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*) is a pre-installed Samsung Mobile application providing community, diagnostics, and customer support features on Samsung Android devices. The vulnerability involves improper input validation - no CWE is formally assigned, but this class of flaw on Android typically manifests as insufficient sanitization of data passed to Intent-dispatching or WebView/URL-loading components. This allows an attacker to supply crafted input that causes the application to resolve and launch arbitrary Android activities or load arbitrary URLs within the context of Samsung Members' declared permissions, which may include elevated or platform-signed privileges. This is consistent with Android deep-link hijacking or implicit intent redirection patterns prevalent in vendor-bundled applications.
