CVE-2026-21083: CWE-20: Improper Input Validation in Samsung Mobile Smart Switch
Improper input validation in Smart Switch prior to version 3.7.72.6 allows adjacent attackers to access sensitive data.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
The vulnerability identified as CVE-2026-21083 involves improper input validation in Samsung Mobile's Smart Switch software versions before 3.7.72.6. This weakness permits adjacent attackers—those on the same network segment or physically close—to gain unauthorized access to sensitive data. The CVSS 4.0 vector indicates the attack requires adjacent network access, low attack complexity, no privileges, and user interaction, with high impact on confidentiality. No vendor advisory or patch information is currently available, and no active exploitation has been reported.
Potential Impact
An adjacent attacker can exploit improper input validation to access sensitive data within the affected Smart Switch application. The confidentiality impact is high, while integrity and availability impacts are not indicated. This could lead to unauthorized disclosure of sensitive information on affected devices.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is released, users should limit exposure to adjacent attackers by controlling network access and avoiding untrusted networks. Monitor vendor communications for updates on patches or mitigations.
