CVE-2026-21079: CWE-311 (Missing Encryption of Sensitive Data) in Samsung Mobile Smart Switch
Missing encryption of sensitive data in Smart Switch prior to version 3.7.72.6 allows adjacent attackers to intercept transmitted data.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
This vulnerability (CVE-2026-21079) involves missing encryption of sensitive data in Samsung Mobile Smart Switch versions before 3.7.72.6. Because data is transmitted without encryption, attackers on the same or adjacent network can intercept this sensitive information. The CVSS 4.0 vector indicates the attack requires adjacent network access, low attack complexity, no privileges required, and user interaction is needed. The impact includes high confidentiality, integrity, and availability impacts. No vendor advisory or patch information is currently provided, and no known exploits are reported in the wild.
Potential Impact
Sensitive data transmitted by affected versions of Smart Switch can be intercepted by attackers on adjacent networks, potentially leading to exposure of confidential information and compromise of data integrity and availability.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is released, avoid using Smart Switch on untrusted or public networks where adjacent attackers may be present.
