It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2022-27840 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Samsung Recovery. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-27840/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-27840/index.md)","id":"CVE-2022-27840","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-27840/index.md","name":"CVE-2022-27840","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-v2xv-xvvc-52fg"],"analysis":{"component_type":"operating_system","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["data_modify","privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Samsung Recovery","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Local attackers can delete arbitrary files with elevated privileges due to improper access control in Samsung Recovery.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"missing_authorization"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Samsung Mobile","cpe":[{"product":"recovery","vendor":"samsung"}],"cvss":{"score":4.4,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:L","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-276","name":"Incorrect Default Permissions"},{"id":"CWE-269","name":"Improper Privilege Management"}],"description":"Improper access control vulnerability in SamsungRecovery prior to version 8.1.43.0 allows local attckers to delete arbitrary files as SamsungRecovery permission.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Missing authorization in Samsung Recovery","id":"CVE-2022-27840","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"missing_authorization","year":"2022"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Auth bypass in Samsung Pass","id":"CVE-2022-27841"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Auth bypass in Samsung Internet","id":"CVE-2022-27839"},"products":["Samsung Recovery"],"published":"2022-04-11","related":[],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-03","vendors":["Samsung Mobile"]},"summary":"Local attackers can delete arbitrary files with elevated privileges due to improper access control in Samsung Recovery.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-27840/"}
