How a $50,000 Exploit Chain Turned Bixby Against Samsung Phones
High
Summary
Two security researchers, Dimitrios Valsamaras and Ken Gannon, demonstrated a complex exploit chain targeting Samsung phones, leveraging vulnerabilities in the Samsung Members and Samsung Account apps to gain remote code execution and system-level access. The attack involved tricking users into clicking malicious links, exploiting multiple vulnerabilities to force Bixby, the virtual assistant, to execute commands, and ultimately achieve full control over the device. The researchers successfully exploited this chain on Samsung Galaxy S25, S24, and Flip 7 devices.
