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. Check security patch level
    Go to Settings > About Phone > Security patch level or run 'getprop ro.build.version.security_patch' in ADB shell
    Affected if Patch level is earlier than July 2023 (YYYY-MM-DD before 2023-07-01)
  2. Confirm Android version
    Navigate to Settings > About Phone > Android version or use 'getprop ro.build.version.release'
    Affected if Version is 12.0 or 13.0
  3. Verify device is Samsung
    Check Settings > About Phone > Device name or run 'getprop ro.product.brand'
    Affected if Device manufacturer is not Samsung
  4. Confirm UWB service presence
    Check if /system/bin/uwb_service or com.samsung.android.UwbAospAdapterService exists on the device via ADB
    Affected if The vulnerable UwbAospAdapterService component is present on the device

Device is affected if it is a Samsung Android device running version 12.0 or 13.0 with a security patch level prior to July 2023, as the fix was released in the SMR July-2023 security update.
