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.
-
Verify Samsung Account is installedOpen device Settings > Apps and search for Samsung Account, or check the app drawer for the Samsung Account iconAffected if Samsung Account application is present on the device
-
Locate the installed version numberIn 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 informationAffected if Unable to retrieve version information from Samsung Account
-
Compare your version to the affected rangeCompare 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 rangeAffected if Installed version is 15.5.01.0 or lower, or any version below 15.5.01.1
