Evidence used

  • No CISA KEV confirmation is currently recorded.
  • EPSS is 0.13% for the current model date.

Compensating controls

  • Validate the affected product branch and deploy the verified fixed release.
  • Restrict local access and enforce least privilege on affected hosts.
  • Monitor vendor guidance and exploitation sources for a material change.

Verification

  1. Confirm that the asset runs Samsung Mobile Samsung Mobile Devices and falls inside the recorded affected range.
  2. Verify the installed build against the product-specific fixed version after deployment.
  3. Validate exposure, authentication requirements and compensating controls in the actual environment.
  4. Reopen this reassessment when CVSS, KEV, EPSS, exploit evidence or remediation changes.
Mitigation target: As exposure requiresRemediation target: Within 365 days

This automated reassessment organises public evidence. It does not know asset exposure, business impact or control effectiveness and does not replace CVSS or a human risk decision.

What, why and how

Incorrect use of privileged API in DualDarManagerProxy prior to SMR Sep-2024 Release 1 allows local attackers to access privileged APIs related to knox without proper license.

What

Incorrect use of privileged API in DualDarManagerProxy prior to SMR Sep-2024 Release 1 allows local attackers to access privileged APIs related to knox without proper license.

Why

The product does not conform to the API requirements for a function call that requires extra privileges. This could allow attackers to gain privileges by causing the function to be called incorrectly.

How

An attacker operating through local access may attempt exploitation without authentication or user interaction. If successful, the issue may cause the confidentiality, integrity or availability impact described by the vendor.

Exploit reality and attack path

CVSS severity, EPSS forecast probability, public exploit material and CISA-confirmed exploitation are separate signals.

Observed exploitation
?Confirmed exploitation and public exploit material are separate signals. Attacks can occur without public proof-of-concept or exploit code.
No confirmed evidence

No CISA KEV match was present at the last successful refresh. This means no confirmation from that source, not proof of no exploitation.

Public PoC / exploit material
?Confirmed exploitation and public exploit material are separate signals. Attacks can occur without public proof-of-concept or exploit code.
None recorded

No exploit-tagged reference or CISA SSVC proof-of-concept state is currently recorded. Research may still exist outside the structured feeds.

Likely attack path
local access → Incorrect Use of Privileged APIs → cause the confidentiality, integrity or availability impact described by the vendor

CWE-648 ↗

CWE-648: Incorrect Use of Privileged APIs. The product does not conform to the API requirements for a function call that requires extra privileges. This could allow attackers to gain privileges by causing the function to be called incorrectly.

CVSS vector
?CVSS means Common Vulnerability Scoring System. The vector records the metric values used to calculate technical severity.
CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N

Common Vulnerability Scoring System 3.1: the compact vector below is decoded into plain language.

AVLocalAttack vector: The attacker needs local access to the vulnerable system.ACLowAttack complexity: No specialised conditions are required beyond attacker-controlled input.PRNonePrivileges required: The attacker does not need an account or existing privileges.UINoneUser interaction: No action by another user is required.SUnchangedScope: The security impact remains within the vulnerable component's authority.CLowConfidentiality impact: A successful attack can cause a limited loss.INoneIntegrity impact: No direct loss is represented by this metric.ANoneAvailability impact: No direct loss is represented by this metric.
Post-exploitation / living off the land
The issue can support a local privilege or sandbox boundary transition; normal system utilities may then be available in the gained context.

NCSC-NL · Dutch · NCSC-2024-0358Kwetsbaarheden verholpen in Google Android en Samsung Mobile

Een kwaadwillende kan de kwetsbaarheden misbruiken om zich verhoogde rechten toe te kennen op het device en zo willekeurige code uit te voeren, mogelijk met rechten van het systeem en toegang krijgen tot gevoelige gegevens. Voor succesvol misbruik moet de kwaadwillende het slachtoffer misleiden een malafide app te installeren en draaien of een malafide link te volgen. In deze update wordt ook de kwetsbaarheid met kenmerk CVE-2024-32896 verholpen. Deze bevindt zich in het Android Framework en stelt een lokale kwaadwillende in staat om zich verhoogde rechten toe te kennen en code uit te voeren met rechten van het systeem. Van deze kwetsbaarheid meldt Google dat deze zeer beperkt en gericht is misbruikt als ZeroDay op Google Pixel. Er is (nog) geen publieke Proof-of-Concept of exploit beschikbaar. In deze update zijn ook kwetsbaarheden verholpen in closed-source componenten van Arm, Imagination Technologies, Unisoc en Qualcomm. Google heeft verder weinig inhoudelijke informatie bekend gesteld.
