Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.

NVD · unedited
Unprotected component vulnerability in DeviceSearchTrampoline in SecSettingsIntelligence prior to SMR Jun-2022 Release 1 allows local attackers to launch activities of SecSettingsIntelligence.

Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

dbcve analysis · high confidence

The DeviceSearchTrampoline component in Samsung's SecSettingsIntelligence app is improperly exported without permission protection, allowing any local application to launch its activities. This enables a local attacker to potentially access sensitive settings functionality that should be restricted.

MitigationUpdate to SMR Jun-2022 Release 1 or later, which implements proper permission protection on the DeviceSearchTrampoline component by setting appropriate android:exported and android:permission attributes in the AndroidManifest.xml.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.

dbcve checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Verify Android version is 12.0
    Go to Settings > About Phone > Android version, or run 'getprop ro.build.version.release' via ADB shell
    Affected if The device is running Android 12.0 specifically
  2. Check if SecSettingsIntelligence app is installed
    Run 'pm list packages | grep SecSettingsIntelligence' via ADB shell, or check in Settings > Apps
    Affected if The SecSettingsIntelligence package is present on the device
  3. Inspect the DeviceSearchTrampoline component export status
    Run 'dumpsys package com.samsung.android.app.secsettingsintelligence' via ADB shell and look for DeviceSearchTrampoline in the exported components
    Affected if DeviceSearchTrampoline is listed as exported without requiring a signature permission (android:permission attribute is missing or unset)
  4. Verify the component lacks permission protection
    Parse the dumpsys output to confirm the component has no android:permission or android:exported="false" attribute set
    Affected if The component accepts intents from any application without signature-level permission validation

The device is affected if running Android 12.0 with SecSettingsIntelligence installed and the DeviceSearchTrampoline component is exported without signature-level permission protection.
