CVE-2025-23095 is a medium-severity vulnerability identified in several Samsung Mobile Processors, specifically the Exynos 1280, 2200, 1380, 1480, and 2400 models. The root cause of this vulnerability is a double free condition, classified under CWE-415, where the system attempts to free the same memory location twice. This flaw can lead to undefined behavior, including memory corruption, which attackers can exploit to escalate privileges on affected devices. The vulnerability does not require user interaction, authentication, or physical access, and can be exploited remotely over the network (AV:N). The attack complexity is low (AC:L), meaning that an attacker with no privileges (PR:N) can potentially exploit this issue without any user interaction (UI:N). The impact primarily affects confidentiality and integrity, with no direct impact on availability. The CVSS v3.1 base score is 6.5, reflecting a medium severity level. Although no known exploits are currently reported in the wild, the vulnerability poses a significant risk due to the widespread use of these Exynos processors in Samsung mobile devices. Exploitation could allow attackers to gain elevated privileges, potentially leading to unauthorized access to sensitive data or control over the device's operating system and applications. The absence of published patches at this time increases the urgency for mitigation and monitoring.

For European organizations, this vulnerability presents a notable risk, especially for enterprises relying on Samsung mobile devices powered by the affected Exynos processors. Privilege escalation on mobile devices can lead to unauthorized access to corporate emails, confidential documents, and secure applications, undermining data confidentiality and integrity. This risk is amplified in sectors with high mobile device usage for sensitive operations, such as finance, healthcare, and government agencies. Additionally, compromised devices could serve as entry points for lateral movement within corporate networks or be used to bypass multi-factor authentication mechanisms. The lack of known exploits currently reduces immediate risk, but the potential for future exploitation necessitates proactive measures. The vulnerability also poses privacy concerns for individual users within Europe, potentially affecting personal data protection under GDPR regulations if exploited.

Given the absence of official patches, European organizations should implement a multi-layered mitigation strategy. First, enforce strict mobile device management (MDM) policies to control and monitor the use of Samsung devices with affected processors. Limit the installation of untrusted applications and restrict device functionalities that could be exploited. Employ endpoint detection and response (EDR) solutions capable of identifying anomalous behaviors indicative of privilege escalation attempts. Encourage users to keep their devices updated with the latest firmware and security updates from Samsung as they become available. Network-level protections such as segmentation and strict access controls can reduce the impact of compromised devices. Additionally, organizations should conduct regular security awareness training to inform users about the risks of installing unverified apps or clicking on suspicious links. Monitoring threat intelligence feeds for emerging exploits related to this CVE will enable timely response once patches or exploit code become available.
