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-2025-20973 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Samsung Mobile Secure Folder. 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-2025-20973/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-20973/index.md)","id":"CVE-2025-20973","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-20973/index.md","name":"CVE-2025-20973","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-4v5h-q8j3-g849"],"analysis":{"component_type":"mobile_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["security_bypass"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Samsung Secure Folder","requires_auth":"high_privilege","summary":"Physical attackers can reset the Secure Folder lock type, bypassing authentication controls on affected Samsung Android devices.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"auth_bypass"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"SamsungMobile","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":5.4,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:P/AC:L/PR:H/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[],"description":"Improper authentication in Secure Folder prior to version 1.8.12.0 in Android 13, and 1.9.21.00 in Android 14 allows physical attackers to reset the lock type of Secure Folder.","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 Secure Folder","id":"CVE-2025-20973","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"auth_bypass","year":"2025"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Security feature bypass in PackageInstallerCN","id":"CVE-2025-20974"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Missing authorization in Samsung Flow","id":"CVE-2025-20972"},"products":["Secure Folder"],"published":"2025-05-07","related":[],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"total"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2025-05-07","vendors":["Samsung Mobile"]},"summary":"Physical attackers can reset the Secure Folder lock type, bypassing authentication controls on affected Samsung Android devices.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-20973/"}
