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 confidenceA vulnerability in the session handling component of the SoundCloud iOS application version 7.65.2 allows a local attacker to escalate privileges and obtain sensitive information. The session handling mechanism does not properly protect or validate session data, enabling a local attacker with device access to hijack sessions or manipulate session state to gain elevated access.

dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Verify SoundCloud iOS app installationNavigate to Settings > General > iPhone Storage on the iOS device, or use an MDM solution to list installed applications, and confirm the SoundCloud app is present.Affected if The SoundCloud iOS application version 7.65.2 is installed on the device.
