What changed
CERT-Bund published security advisory WID-SEC-2026-0974 disclosing critical vulnerabilities in Samsung Android OS with CVSS Base Score 9.8. The advisory identifies multiple attack vectors allowing privilege escalation, security bypass, information disclosure, and file manipulation. The vulnerabilities affect all Samsung Android devices running versions prior to the April 2026 security maintenance release.
