Incorrect authorization in Samsung Health prior to version 7.0.0 allows local attackers to access sensitive information.
AnalysisAI
Incorrect authorization in Samsung Health prior to version 7.0.0 exposes sensitive user health data to other local applications or processes on the same device. Local attackers - including malicious co-installed apps - can exploit this flaw to read protected health information without proper permission checks. No public exploit has been identified at time of analysis, and the fix is available in version 7.0.0 per the Samsung Mobile security advisory.
Technical ContextAI
Samsung Health is a mobile health and fitness tracking application developed by Samsung Mobile, widely deployed on Samsung Android devices. The affected component suffers from an incorrect authorization flaw (the CWE is not formally specified in available data), meaning the application fails to properly enforce access controls before exposing sensitive data to local callers. The CPE string cpe:2.3:a:samsung_mobile:samsung_health:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* indicates all versions prior to 7.0.0 are in scope. The CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N) indicates local access with no special attack prerequisites, no required user interaction, and no elevated privileges needed on the attacking side, while VC:H confirms high confidentiality impact on the vulnerable system.
RemediationAI
Update Samsung Health to version 7.0.0 or later, which is the vendor-confirmed fix per the Samsung Mobile Security Maintenance Release advisory at https://security.samsungmobile.com/serviceWeb.smsb?year=2026&month=08. Users on Samsung devices should ensure automatic app updates are enabled via the Galaxy Store or Google Play Store to receive this patch. As a compensating control where immediate update is not possible, restricting installation of untrusted third-party applications reduces the local attacker surface, though this does not eliminate the vulnerability. Disabling Samsung Health entirely is a high-impact workaround with obvious functional trade-offs and should only be considered in high-sensitivity environments.
