CVE-2024-34671
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 · uneditedUse of implicit intent for sensitive communication in translation혻in Samsung Internet prior to version 26.0.3.1 allows local attackers to get sensitive information. User interaction is required for triggering this vulnerability.
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 · high confidenceSamsung Internet browser's translation feature uses implicit Android intents to transmit sensitive data. Implicit intents can be intercepted by any app on the device that registers to handle them, allowing a malicious local app to capture sensitive information exchanged during translation. The attacker requires user interaction (likely initiating a translation) to trigger the vulnerability.

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.
-
Check Samsung Internet versionOpen Samsung Internet, tap the three-line menu icon, select Settings, then tap About Samsung Internet to view the version number. Alternatively, check in Google Play Store or Samsung Galaxy Store under installed apps.Affected if version is displayed and is below 26.0.3.1
-
Verify translation feature is in useOpen Samsung Internet settings and navigate to the translation-related settings (typically under Privacy and Security or Advanced settings). Confirm if any translation service is enabled or has been used.Affected if translation feature is enabled or has been actively used by the browser
A user is affected if Samsung Internet version is below 26.0.3.1 AND the browser's translation feature has been enabled or used, as this creates the condition where implicit intents can be intercepted by a malicious local application.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
dbcve · scoped26.0.3.1
Update Samsung Internet to version 26.0.3.1 or later, which replaces implicit intents with explicit intents for sensitive communication in the translation feature.
26.0.3.1
- Open Samsung Internet browser and navigate to Settings > Samsung Internet > About Internet to check the current version
- If the version is below 26.0.3.1, open the Galaxy Store app
- Search for Samsung Internet and tap Update to install version 26.0.3.1 or later
- Alternatively, update through the Samsung Internet app by tapping the three-line menu icon, selecting Settings, then checking for updates within the app
