Path traversal in GalaxyDiagnostics prior to SMR Sep-2026 Release 1 allows physical attackers to access files with system privilege.
AnalysisAI
Path traversal in Samsung's GalaxyDiagnostics component on Samsung Mobile Devices allows a physical attacker to access files with system-level privilege, affecting Android versions 14 through 17 prior to the SMR Sep-2026 Release 1 patch. The CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:P/VC:H/VI:H) confirms both high confidentiality and integrity impact but constrains exploitation to physical presence at the device. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Physical access to the Samsung Mobile Device is the mandatory prerequisite - the CVSS 4.0 vector uses AV:P, confirming no remote or adjacent-network exploitation path. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 4.0 score of 6.8 reflects the combined weight of high confidentiality (VC:H) and integrity (VI:H) impact tempered heavily by the physical attack vector (AV:P). … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in. |
| Remediation | Apply the Samsung Monthly Security Release for September 2026 (SMR Sep-2026 Release 1), which addresses this path traversal in GalaxyDiagnostics across Android 14, 15, 16, and 17. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
