AI Analysis

Impact

Bixby exhibits incorrect default permissions prior to version 4.0.86.0, enabling a local attacker to execute arbitrary commands with Bixby privileges. This flaw effectively allows the attacker to run code with elevated authority, potentially compromising the device’s integrity and confidentiality. The weakness aligns with improper access control and command injection vulnerabilities.

Affected Systems

Samsung Mobile Bixby versions earlier than 4.0.86.0 are affected. No additional vendor or product information is available in the current data.

Risk and Exploitability

The vulnerability carries a CVSS score of 7.2, indicating a high potential impact. The EPSS score is not available, which leaves the likelihood of exploitation uncertain, while the absence from the CISA KEV catalog shows no known active exploitation. The attack vector is local, requiring an attacker who can interact with the device or Bixby service. Exploitation would grant arbitrary command execution at Bixby level, potentially leading to full system compromise.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade Samsung Mobile Bixby to version 4.0.86.0 or later.
  • If an immediate upgrade is not feasible, restrict Bixby’s permissions or disable the Bixby service to eliminate local access.
  • Configure device security policies to enforce strict permission boundaries for Bixby and monitor for unauthorized command execution.
