It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2023-42531 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Samsung Android. 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-2023-42531/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-42531/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-42531","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-42531/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-42531","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-5cwm-xw7v-fmp2"],"analysis":{"component_type":"operating_system","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["security_bypass"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Samsung mobile OS","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Local attackers can bypass background activity restrictions in Samsung mobile devices via improper access control in SmsController.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"auth_bypass"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Samsung Mobile","cpe":[{"product":"android","vendor":"samsung"}],"cvss":{"score":6.2,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-287","name":"Improper Authentication"}],"description":"Improper access control vulnerability in SmsController prior to SMR Nov-2023 Release1 allows local attackers to bypass restrictions on starting activities from the background.","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":"Auth bypass in Samsung Mobile Devices","id":"CVE-2023-42531","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"samsung:android","products":["samsung:android"],"type":"auth_bypass","year":"2023"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Weak cryptography in Samsung Mobile Devices","id":"CVE-2023-42532"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Missing authorization in Samsung Mobile Devices","id":"CVE-2023-42530"},"products":["Samsung Mobile Devices"],"published":"2023-11-07","related":[{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Samsung Mobile Devices Out-of-Bounds Write","id":"CVE-2025-21042","kev_date_added":"2025-11-10","published":"2025-09-12"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Samsung Mobile Devices Out-of-Bounds Write","id":"CVE-2025-21043","kev_date_added":"2025-10-02","published":"2025-09-12"},{"cvss_score":7.3,"headline":"Samsung Mobile Devices Out-of-Bounds Read","id":"CVE-2021-25487","kev_date_added":"2023-06-29","published":"2021-10-06"},{"cvss_score":6.4,"headline":"Samsung Mobile Devices Race Condition","id":"CVE-2021-25394","kev_date_added":"2023-06-29","published":"2021-06-11"},{"cvss_score":6.4,"headline":"Samsung Mobile Devices Race Condition","id":"CVE-2021-25395","kev_date_added":"2023-06-29","published":"2021-06-11"},{"cvss_score":6.2,"headline":"Samsung Mobile Devices Improper Access Control","id":"CVE-2021-25369","kev_date_added":"2022-11-08","published":"2021-03-26"},{"cvss_score":6.1,"headline":"Samsung Mobile Devices Memory Corruption","id":"CVE-2021-25370","kev_date_added":"2022-11-08","published":"2021-03-26"}],"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":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2025-06-12","vendors":["Samsung Mobile"]},"summary":"Local attackers can bypass background activity restrictions in Samsung mobile devices via improper access control in SmsController.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-42531/"}
