-
Identify if Samsung Link Sharing is installedCheck your device or system for the Samsung Link Sharing application. This is typically a mobile application on Samsung devices or may be installed as a companion app on other platforms.Affected if Samsung Link Sharing application is present on the system
-
Determine the installed version of Samsung Link SharingOpen the application settings or device application manager, locate Samsung Link Sharing, and view the version information. Compare the version number to the affected range of versions prior to 12.4.00.3.Affected if The installed version is any version less than 12.4.00.3 (for example, 12.4.00.2, 12.3.x.x, or earlier)
-
Verify if PreconditionActivity component is accessibleCheck if the PreconditionActivity component within the Link Sharing application can be accessed without proper authentication. This typically involves attempting to access protected activities or content through the PreconditionActivity endpoint.Affected if Protected activities or content can be accessed via PreconditionActivity without valid authorization credentials or tokens
You are affected if Samsung Link Sharing is installed with any version prior to 12.4.00.3 and the PreconditionActivity component permits unauthorized access to protected content or functionality.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
dbcve · scoped12.4.00.3
Upgrade Link Sharing to version 12.4.00.3 or later to remediate the authorization bypass. If immediate upgrade is not possible, review and restrict access to PreconditionActivity endpoints and validate all authorization checks in the affected code path.
12.4.00.3
- Open the Samsung Link Sharing application on your device
- Navigate to the app settings or check for updates through Galaxy Store or Google Play Store
- Update Link Sharing to version 12.4.00.3 or later
- Verify the updated version by checking the app info/settings to confirm the fix is applied
