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.

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.
-
Verify Samsung Account app is installedOpen Settings > Apps > search for 'Samsung Account', or use ADB: pm list packages | grep samsungaccountAffected if Samsung Account appears in the installed applications list
-
Locate the installed version numberIn Settings > Apps > Samsung Account > App info, read the version displayed under the app name (format typically shows as XX.XX.XX.XX); alternatively use ADB: dumpsys package com.samsung.android.samsungaccount | grep versionNameAffected if A version number such as 13.1.5.23 or 12.5.1.4 is displayed
-
Compare version against the affected rangeCompare the installed version to 13.2.00.6 - any version with a lower numeric value in the first three octets is vulnerable (for example, 13.2.00.5, 13.1.x, 13.0.x, 12.x)Affected if Installed version is less than 13.2.00.6 (e.g., 13.1.5.23, 12.8.2.1, etc.)
-
Confirm app permissions (optional context)In Settings > Apps > Samsung Account > Permissions, verify which permissions the app holds - this vulnerability enables unauthorized access to contacts and storage/gallery dataAffected if App holds contacts or storage (gallery) permissions - the vulnerability would allow improper access to this data
If Samsung Account is installed with a version lower than 13.2.00.6, the improper privilege management flaw is present and could allow unauthorized access to contact and gallery data.
