CVE-2026-20984

Vulnerability

Overview

The Galaxy Wearable application, when installed on non-Samsung devices, contains an improper permission handling flaw in versions prior to 2.2.68. This issue arises from insufficient enforcement of access controls, allowing the application to expose sensitive data without proper authorization checks [1].

Exploitation

An attacker with local access to a non-Samsung device running a vulnerable version of Galaxy Wearable can exploit this weakness. No special privileges beyond local device access are required, as the application fails to adequately restrict access to sensitive information [1].

Impact

Successful exploitation enables a local attacker to retrieve sensitive information stored or processed by the Galaxy Wearable application. This could include personal data or device-related details that should be protected by permission checks [1].

Mitigation

Samsung has addressed this vulnerability in Galaxy Wearable version 2.2.68. Users are advised to update the application to the latest version available through official app stores [1].
