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-2024-20816 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-2024-20816/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-20816/index.md)","id":"CVE-2024-20816","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-20816/index.md","name":"CVE-2024-20816","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-frmq-mwj6-5m79"],"analysis":{"component_type":"mobile_application","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["security_bypass","data_read"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Samsung mobile hotspot","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Adjacent attackers can connect to a victim's mobile hotspot without user awareness due to improper authentication in the hotspot feature.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"auth_bypass"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"SamsungMobile","cpe":[{"product":"android","vendor":"samsung"}],"cvss":{"score":8,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:A/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:N/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-287","name":"Improper Authentication"}],"description":"Improper authentication vulnerability in onCharacteristicWriteRequest in Auto Hotspot prior to SMR Feb-2024 Release 1 allows adjacent attackers connect to victim\u0026#39;s mobile hotspot without user awareness.","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-2024-20816","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"samsung:android","products":["samsung:android"],"type":"auth_bypass","year":"2024"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Memory corruption in Samsung Mobile Devices","id":"CVE-2024-20817"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Auth bypass in Samsung Mobile Devices","id":"CVE-2024-20815"},"products":["Samsung Mobile Devices"],"published":"2024-02-06","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":"2024-11-07","vendors":["Samsung Mobile"]},"summary":"Adjacent attackers can connect to a victim's mobile hotspot without user awareness due to improper authentication in the hotspot feature.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-20816/"}
