Descriptions

Improper Verification of Cryptographic Signature in SmartSwitch prior to SMR Dec-2024 Release 1 allows local attackers to install malicious applications.

La verificación incorrecta de la firma criptográfica en SmartSwitch antes de la versión 1 de SMR de diciembre de 2024 permite que los atacantes locales instalen aplicaciones maliciosas.

This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected installations of Samsung Galaxy S24. User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must visit a malicious page or open a malicious file.
The specific flaw exists within the Smart Switch Agent application. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of cryptographic signature before installing an application. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of the current user.
