Overview
CVE-2025-58488 is a medium-severity vulnerability affecting SmartTouchCall versions prior to 1.0.1.1. This vulnerability stems from improper verification of the communication channel’s source, potentially allowing remote attackers to gain unauthorized access to sensitive information. Crucially, user interaction is required to trigger this vulnerability.
Technical Details
The vulnerability lies in the insufficient validation of the origin of incoming communication requests. An attacker could potentially craft malicious communication packets that, when processed by a vulnerable SmartTouchCall application instance (and after user interaction), could bypass security checks. This circumvention allows the attacker to access or manipulate data that should otherwise be protected. The exact mechanism likely involves spoofing or redirecting communication from a trusted source to a malicious endpoint. Further analysis is required to identify the specific communication protocol and injection point exploited.
CVSS Analysis
The CVSS (Common Vulnerability Scoring System) score for CVE-2025-58488 is 4.5 (Medium).
- Attack Vector: Network
- Attack Complexity: Low
- Privileges Required: None
- User Interaction: Required
- Scope: Unchanged
- Confidentiality Impact: Low
- Integrity Impact: None
- Availability Impact: None
The “User Interaction Required” component is key to understanding the vulnerability’s severity. The attacker needs the user to perform an action to trigger the exploit.
Possible Impact
Successful exploitation of CVE-2025-58488 could lead to:
- Exposure of sensitive user data managed by SmartTouchCall.
- Unauthorized access to certain application features.
- Potential for phishing attacks by spoofing legitimate communications.
Mitigation and Patch Steps
The recommended mitigation is to update SmartTouchCall to version 1.0.1.1 or later. This version includes a fix that properly validates the source of communication channels, preventing the vulnerability.
- Check your current SmartTouchCall version.
- Download and install the latest version (1.0.1.1 or higher) from the official Samsung website or authorized app store.
- Verify the installation by checking the application version again.
- Always be cautious when interacting with SmartTouchCall and avoid clicking on suspicious links or attachments.
