CVE-2026-20994: CWE-601 URL Redirection to Untrusted Site ('Open Redirect') in Samsung Mobile Samsung Account
URL redirection in Samsung Account prior to version 15.5.01.1 allows local attackers to potentially get access token.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
This vulnerability is an open redirect issue in Samsung Account software before version 15.5.01.1. It allows a local attacker to craft URLs that redirect users to untrusted external sites, potentially leading to the exposure of access tokens. The CVSS 4.0 vector indicates the attack requires local access with low complexity and no user interaction, and the vulnerability affects confidentiality with high impact. No cloud service is involved, and no official patch or mitigation details are available in the provided data.
Potential Impact
The vulnerability could allow a local attacker to obtain access tokens by exploiting the open redirect flaw, potentially compromising user sessions or authentication. However, there are no reports of active exploitation in the wild. The impact is limited to confidentiality and requires local attacker access, reducing the overall risk compared to remote vulnerabilities.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Since no patch or official fix information is provided, users should monitor Samsung's official security advisories for updates. Until a fix is available, avoid clicking on suspicious or unexpected Samsung Account URLs that may redirect to untrusted sites.
