SIMalliance Toolbox Browser Command Injection Vulnerability
SIMalliance Toolbox Browser contains an command injection vulnerability that could allow remote attackers to retrieve location and IMEI information or execute a range of other attacks by modifying the attack message.
A remote attacker, without authentication, can achieve full data confidentiality loss, arbitrary modification of data, complete denial of service or system unavailability. Federal agencies are required to remediate by 2022-05-03 under CISA BOD 22-01.
This vulnerability affects SIMalliance Toolbox Browser. Some Samsung devices include the SIMalliance Toolbox Browser (aka S@T Browser) on the UICC, which might allow remote attackers to retrieve location and IMEI information, or retrieve other data or execute certain commands, via SIM Toolkit (STK) instructions in an SMS message, aka Simjacker. Exploitation requires remote network access, low attack complexity, no authentication required, and no user interaction required.
