GCVE Workshop - 22 September 2026 (14:00-18:00), Luxembourg Before The Vulnopticon Conference - Registration

VAR-201712-0009

Vulnerability from variot - Updated: 2025-04-20 23:38

The SecEmailComposer/EmailComposer application in the Samsung S6 Edge before the October 2015 MR uses weak permissions for the com.samsung.android.email.intent.action.QUICK_REPLY_BACKGROUND service action, which might allow remote attackers with knowledge of the local email address to obtain sensitive information via a crafted application that sends a crafted intent. Samsung S6 Edge Contains a permission vulnerability.Information may be obtained. Samsung SecEmailComposer is prone to a local privilege-escalation vulnerability. Local attackers can exploit this issue to gain elevated privileges within the context of the application.
