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 Account is installed
    Open device Settings > Apps and search for Samsung Account, or check the app drawer for the Samsung Account icon
    Affected if Samsung Account application is present on the device
  2. Locate the installed version number
    In Settings > Apps > Samsung Account > App info, view the Version or Version name field. Alternatively, access Samsung Account app settings and navigate to About or Account settings to find version information
    Affected if Unable to retrieve version information from Samsung Account
  3. Compare your version to the affected range
    Compare the installed version number found in the previous step against the affected version range: any version prior to 15.5.01.1 is vulnerable. For example, versions like 15.4.00.5, 15.3.x.x, or earlier are all within the affected range
    Affected if Installed version is 15.5.01.0 or lower, or any version below 15.5.01.1
  4. Confirm the app is accessible for input
    Open Samsung Account and navigate to any field that accepts user input, such as profile name, display name, or contact information fields within the account management screens
    Affected if Samsung Account is installed and accepts user-supplied input in any text field

If Samsung Account is installed and its version is below 15.5.01.1, the device is affected by this improper input validation vulnerability.
