MITRE ATT&CK
1 technique across 1 tactic: Defense Evasion The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | Requires local access to the device running Samsung Internet prior to version 30.0.5.6 (AV:L) - remote exploitation is not possible. The AT:P metric means a specific attack requirement must hold (for example a particular app or timing state) rather than succeeding against every default invocation, which limits reliability. Once that condition is met, no authentication/privileges (PR:N) and no user interaction (UI:N) are needed. Impact is limited to disclosure of sensitive information (VC:H) with no integrity or availability effect, and updating to 30.0.5.6 or later removes the flaw. |
| Impact | This is a medium-severity (CVSS 4.0 base 5.9) local information-disclosure flaw and should be treated as a moderate, not urgent, priority. The CVSS 4.0 vector tells a coherent story: AV:L means the attacker needs local access to the device (not remote/network), AT:P indicates a specific attack requirement or precondition must be met, PR:N/UI:N mean no privileges or user interaction are needed once that condition exists, and VC:H/VI:N/VA:N confine the impact to confidentiality only (sensitive-information read) with no integrity or availability loss. No EPSS score was supplied, the CVE is NOT in CISA KEV, and no POC was referenced - so there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and no evidence of active exploitation. The combination of a local-only vector, an added attack requirement (AT:P), and confidentiality-only impact meaningfully lowers real-world risk versus the raw score: this is a realistic low-to-moderate priority rather than a high-urgency item, despite Samsung Internet's large install base. Note that the CWE is listed as N/A and no EPSS/SSVC data was provided, so automatable/technical-impact framing cannot be independently derived from the input. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker with local access to an unlocked or shared Samsung device (or a malicious co-resident app) leverages improper access control in Samsung Internet below 30.0.5.6 to read sensitive browser-held information such as cached data, credentials, or browsing artifacts that should be access-restricted. The AT:P requirement implies a specific precondition (e.g. a timing/race window or particular app state) must be satisfied, but no user interaction or elevated privileges are needed once it is. No public exploit code is known for this CVE at time of analysis. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Oct 12, 2026
Local information disclosure in Samsung Internet lets an attacker who already has access to the device read sensitive data through an improper access control weakness in all versions prior to 30.0.5.6. Samsung rates it CVSS 4.0 5.9 (AV:L/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:N/VA:N), and our independent assessment agrees: medium severity, local-only reach, confidentiality impact only, with no integrity or availability effect. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, so this is a moderate-priority patching item rather than an urgent one; the attack requires local access plus a specific precondition (AT:P) rather than working against every default invocation, but once met it needs no authentication or privileges (PR:N) and no user interaction (UI:N). Updating to 30.0.5.6 or later removes the flaw.
RemediationAI
Vendor-released patch: update Samsung Internet to version 30.0.5.6 or later, which is the version boundary named in the advisory and the fix identified by our assessment. On managed fleets, push the browser update through the Galaxy Store or Google Play (or your EMM/MDM app catalogue) and verify the installed version string rather than assuming auto-update has completed, since browser updates on Android are frequently deferred on metered or idle-restricted devices; the trade-off is only brief user disruption and no functional loss. Until the update is confirmed on a given device, compensating controls are limited because the flaw is local-only: restrict installation to vetted apps from managed catalogues and disable sideloading of unknown sources, which removes the most likely local actor but does not help against a pre-installed malicious or compromised app; keep the device on a current Android security patch level and remove or sandbox untrusted apps that could reach browser components, accepting that this narrows usability for power users. If the browser cannot be updated immediately on a critical device, consider steering sensitive browsing to a separately updated browser as an interim measure, understanding that this does not remediate the Samsung Internet component itself and that the underlying access-control weakness remains exploitable by any local actor meeting the AT:P precondition. There is no network-perimeter mitigation for this issue because remote exploitation is not possible (AV:L), and no action on the user-interaction side is needed since the vector shows UI:N.

Technical ContextAI · show details
Samsung Internet is Samsung's Chromium-based web browser shipped as the default browser on Galaxy devices and also distributed through the Galaxy Store and Google Play, which means the vulnerable component is present on a very large population of Android devices rather than being an optional install. The root cause is an access-control design or enforcement failure rather than a memory-safety bug: the browser exposes some sensitive data through a path that is not adequately gated, so a local actor able to reach that path can read it. No CWE identifier was supplied in the source data, but the flaw belongs to the improper/broken access control class (the CWE-284 family), where the resource exists and is reachable but the check that should restrict who can consume it is missing, misordered, or applied on the wrong side of the trust boundary. The CVSS 4.0 vector is instructive about the practical reach: AV:L confirms the attack surface is the local device (typically another app, a process, or a local user context invoking a browser component), AT:P means a specific attack requirement must hold before exploitation succeeds, and the absence of impact on integrity or availability means the exploit cannot be used to modify data, install code, or cause denial of service through this issue alone. Because PR:N and UI:N appear in the vector, no privileges and no victim interaction are needed once the local precondition is satisfied, which makes the missing authorization check - not credential theft or social engineering - the only real barrier. The provided CPE set is empty, so exact platform and build fingerprints must be taken from the vendor bulletin; treat any Samsung Internet build below 30.0.5.6 as in scope regardless of the underlying Android version.
