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 checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Check Samsung Account app versionOpen Settings > Apps > Samsung Account (or find it in the app list) and view the version information displayed under the app nameAffected if The displayed version number is lower than 13.2.00.6 (e.g., 13.2.00.5, 13.1.x.x, etc.)
-
Verify version via Galaxy StoreOpen Galaxy Store, search for Samsung Account, and check the version shown on the app listing pageAffected if The available update version is 13.2.00.6 or higher while your installed version is lower, indicating you are running a vulnerable version
