DescriptionCVE.org

Heap-based buffer overflow in KnoxVault trustlet prior to SMR Sep-2026 Release 1 allows local privileged attackers to execute arbitrary code.

AnalysisAI

Heap buffer overflow in Samsung KnoxVault trustlet (hwvault trusted application) on Samsung Mobile Devices prior to SMR Sep-2026 Release 1 enables local privileged attackers to execute arbitrary code within the Trusted Execution Environment. The CVSS 4.0 score of 7.1 with AV:L/AC:H/PR:H reflects a high technical bar: exploitation demands pre-existing high-privilege local access plus significant exploit engineering to achieve reliable heap corruption. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires the attacker to already possess high-privilege local code execution on the Samsung device (PR:H) - the vulnerability is not remotely triggerable (AV:L). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 4.0 vector AV:L/AC:H/AT:N/PR:H/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:L/SC:N reflects a genuinely constrained threat profile: an attacker must already hold high-privilege local access and must overcome high attack complexity to reliably trigger the heap overflow - even a mid-sized municipal IT team in sanok managing a Samsung device fleet should prioritize the September patch cycle but need not treat this as an emergency requiring immediate device isolation. … 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 Samsung Monthly Security Release SMR Sep-2026 Release 1, which contains the patched hwvault TA. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours, inventory all Samsung mobile devices in your organization and verify their current security update level against Samsung's September 2026 Monthly Security Release (SMR Sep-2026 Release 1). …
