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
Implicit Intent hijacking vulnerability in Finder prior to SMR Jul-2022 Release 1 allow allows attackers to access some protected information with privilege of Finder.

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 · moderate confidence

This is an implicit Intent hijacking vulnerability in Samsung's Finder application. Implicit Intents (broadcasts without specified target receivers) in the Finder app could be intercepted by malicious applications that register BroadcastReceivers, allowing unauthorized access to protected information that the Finder app was broadcasting.

MitigationApply the Samsung SMR (Security Monthly Release) July 2022 or later patch. Organizations should ensure fleet devices receive monthly security updates and verify patch compliance through mobile device management (MDM) solutions.

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 Samsung Finder app is installed
    Check if the package com.sec.android.app.finder exists on the device (via adb: pm list packages | grep finder, or check in Settings > Apps)
    Affected if The Finder app is present on the device
  2. Confirm Android OS version is 10, 11, or 12
    Check Android version in Settings > About Phone > Android version (or via adb: getprop ro.build.version.release)
    Affected if Android version equals 10.0, 11.0, or 12.0
  3. Check device security patch level
    Check Settings > About Phone > Security patch level, or via adb: getprop ro.build.version.security_patch
    Affected if Security patch level is earlier than July 2022 (the SMR containing the fix)
  4. Verify Finder app version
    Check the installed version of Samsung Finder in Settings > Apps > Finder > Version info
    Affected if Cannot verify fix via app version alone; must rely on patch level

A user is affected if they have a Samsung device with the Finder app installed, running Android 10, 11, or 12, and the device security patch level is earlier than the July 2022 Samsung SMR.
