CVE-2026-21080: CWE-312 Cleartext storage of sensitive information in Samsung Mobile Smart Switch
Cleartext storage of sensitive information in Smart Switch prior to version 3.7.72.6 allows adjacent attackers to access sensitive data.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
This vulnerability (CWE-312) involves the cleartext storage of sensitive information within Samsung Mobile Smart Switch software versions before 3.7.72.6. An adjacent attacker, meaning someone with network proximity, can access this sensitive data due to lack of encryption or proper protection. The CVSS 4.0 vector indicates the attack requires adjacent network access, no privileges, no user interaction, and results in high confidentiality impact. No official remediation or patch information is currently available from the vendor.
Potential Impact
Sensitive information stored in cleartext can be accessed by attackers on the same network segment, potentially leading to data leakage or compromise of user data. The confidentiality impact is high, but integrity and availability are not affected. There are no known exploits in the wild at this time.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is released, limit exposure by restricting network access to trusted users and environments. Avoid using vulnerable versions in untrusted or public networks.
