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-2024-20840 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Samsung Voice Recorder. 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-2024-20840/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-20840/index.md)","id":"CVE-2024-20840","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-20840/index.md","name":"CVE-2024-20840","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-j54m-x6h4-2v8w"],"analysis":{"component_type":"mobile_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["security_bypass"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Samsung Voice Recorder","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Physical attackers can bypass lock screen restrictions to use the Voice Recorder app via hardware keyboard on Samsung devices.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"auth_bypass"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"SamsungMobile","cpe":[{"product":"voice_recorder","vendor":"samsung"}],"cvss":{"score":5.7,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:P/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[],"description":"Improper access control in Samsung Voice Recorder prior to versions 21.5.16.01 in Android 12 and Android 13, 21.4.51.02 in Android 14 allows physical attackers using hardware keyboard to use VoiceRecorder on the lock screen.","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 Voice Recorder","id":"CVE-2024-20840","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"auth_bypass","year":"2024"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Missing authorization in Samnsung Account","id":"CVE-2024-20841"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Missing authorization in Samsung Voice Recorder","id":"CVE-2024-20839"},"products":["Samsung Voice Recorder"],"published":"2024-03-05","related":[{"cvss_score":4.6,"headline":"Missing authorization in Samsung Voice Recorder","id":"CVE-2025-21063","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-10-10"},{"cvss_score":4.6,"headline":"Missing authorization in Samsung Voice Recorder","id":"CVE-2024-49403","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-11-06"},{"cvss_score":4.6,"headline":"Missing authorization in Samsung Voice Recorder","id":"CVE-2024-20839","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-03-05"}],"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":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-01","vendors":["Samsung Mobile"]},"summary":"Physical attackers can bypass lock screen restrictions to use the Voice Recorder app via hardware keyboard on Samsung devices.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-20840/"}
