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. Locate Samsung Checkout application
    On the Samsung device, navigate to Settings > Apps > Samsung Checkout (or search for 'Checkout' in the app list) to find the installed application
    Affected if Samsung Checkout app is present on the device
  2. Retrieve installed version number
    In the Samsung Checkout app info screen, note the version number displayed under 'Version' or 'App version'
    Affected if A version number is displayed that can be compared against the threshold
  3. Compare version against vulnerable range
    Compare the installed Samsung Checkout version to 5.0.53.1 - any version lower than 5.0.53.1 is affected
    Affected if Installed version is less than 5.0.53.1 (for example, 5.0.52, 5.0.50, 4.x.x, etc.)
  4. Verify IAPService component presence
    Check if the device has apps or services that interact with Samsung IAP (In-App Purchase) functionality - this component is part of Samsung Checkout
    Affected if IAPService or Samsung IAP functionality is present and the Checkout version is below 5.0.53.1

If Samsung Checkout is installed and its version is lower than 5.0.53.1, the device is vulnerable to this SQL injection in the IAPService component.
