Attack Vector: Network
Attack Complexity: Low

Scope: Unchanged
Confidentiality: None
Integrity: Low
Availability: None

Bold values are the worst case: easiest to exploit or largest impact.

Attack Vector: Network: The vulnerable component is bound to the network stack and the set of possible attackers extends beyond the other options listed, up to and including the entire Internet. Such a vulnerability is often termed 'remotely exploitable' and can be thought of as an attack being exploitable at the protocol level one or more network hops away (e.g., across one or more routers).
Attack Complexity: Low: Specialized access conditions or extenuating circumstances do not exist. An attacker can expect repeatable success against the vulnerable component.
Privileges Required: None: The attacker is unauthorized prior to attack, and therefore does not require any access to settings or files to carry out an attack.
User Interaction: Required: Successful exploitation of this vulnerability requires a user to take some action before the vulnerability can be exploited.
Scope: Unchanged: An exploited vulnerability can only affect resources managed by the same security authority. In this case, the vulnerable component and the impacted component are either the same, or both are managed by the same security authority.
Confidentiality: None: There is no loss of confidentiality within the impacted component.
Integrity: Low: Modification of data is possible, but the attacker does not have control over the consequence of a modification, or the amount of modification is limited. The data modification does not have a direct, serious impact on the impacted component.
Availability: None: There is no impact to availability within the impacted component.

Exploitation evidence

Disclosed: evidence found.
CVE published 2 Dec 2025
Detectable: no evidence on record.
No public nuclei template indexed
Weaponised: no evidence on record.
No public exploit code indexed in Metasploit or Exploit-DB
Exploited in the wildExploited: no evidence on record.
Not in CISA KEV and no source reports exploitation

No attack traffic recorded by OffSeq Mirage sensors

A missing step is not evidence of safety. Sources: cve.org (opens in a new tab), the Metasploit, Exploit-DB and nuclei-templates index as of 2026-10-25.

Disclosed: The CVE record is public on cve.org. Its publication is t = 0.
Detectable: A public nuclei template can find exposed instances, for defenders and attackers alike.
Weaponised: Public exploit code exists in Metasploit or Exploit-DB, or CISA SSVC reports a public proof of concept.
Exploited in the wild: CISA KEV lists it, CISA SSVC rates exploitation active, or a source reports attacks.
Observed by OffSeq Mirage: OffSeq Mirage honeypot sensors recorded attack traffic for this CVE, or found exposed hosts without attack traffic.

Moments are spaced evenly, not to scale; a dashed line marks a gap of six months or more. Deltas count from t = 0. Sources that give only a date (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, or a time of exactly 00:00Z) read “same day” rather than hours. Metasploit modules carry the flaw’s disclosure date, not their release date, and nuclei templates carry no date, so both appear above but not on the timeline.

What to do

AI-suggested

European organizations should prioritize deploying the Samsung Mobile Security Maintenance Release (SMR) December 2025 update as soon as it becomes available to remediate the vulnerability. Until patching is possible, organizations should implement strict controls on the types of image files allowed on corporate devices, including filtering and scanning incoming images for malicious content. User training should emphasize the risks of opening unsolicited or suspicious image files, especially from untrusted sources. Mobile device management (MDM) solutions should enforce policies restricting installation of unverified applications that could deliver malicious images. Network-level protections such as intrusion detection systems (IDS) can be tuned to detect anomalous image processing behavior. Additionally, organizations should monitor for unusual device crashes or instability that might indicate exploitation attempts. Regular backups and integrity checks of critical mobile data can help mitigate potential damage from integrity violations. Collaboration with Samsung support channels for timely vulnerability intelligence and patch deployment is recommended.

Description

Out-of-bounds write in libimagecodec.quram.so prior to SMR Dec-2025 Release 1 allows remote attackers to access out-of-bounds memory.

Impact

For European organizations, this vulnerability poses a moderate risk primarily to the integrity of Samsung Mobile devices used within their infrastructure. Potential impacts include unauthorized modification of memory leading to application crashes or corrupted data processing, which could disrupt business operations relying on mobile communications or applications. Although confidentiality and availability are not directly affected, integrity compromises could facilitate further exploitation or malware persistence if chained with other vulnerabilities. Organizations with employees or systems heavily reliant on Samsung Mobile devices for sensitive communications or operational tasks may face increased risk. The lack of known exploits reduces immediate threat, but the widespread use of Samsung devices in Europe means a large attack surface exists. Attackers could leverage social engineering to trick users into opening malicious images, making user awareness critical. The vulnerability could also impact mobile device management and security monitoring if exploited.
