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 Quick Share app is installedOn Samsung device, open Settings > Apps and search for 'Quick Share', or use ADB command: adb shell pm list packages | grep quickshareAffected if Quick Share app is present on the device
-
Find installed Quick Share versionGo to Settings > Apps > Quick Share > App info > Version, or use ADB command: adb shell dumpsys package com.samsung.android.quickshare | grep versionNameAffected if Unable to retrieve version information (app may be hidden or disabled)

Compare version against vulnerable thresholdCompare the retrieved version number to 13.1.2.4 - versions below this threshold are affectedAffected if Installed version is less than 13.1.2.4 (for example: 13.1.2.3, 13.0.x.x, 12.x.x.x)
The device is affected if Samsung Quick Share is installed with any version number lower than 13.1.2.4, as this version threshold is where the vendor addressed the improper access control vulnerability.
