Serious security bugs in Samsung pre-installed apps

An analysis of pre-installed apps on Samsung devices has revealed multiple security bugs which could have been exploited by attackers to spy on users and steal their data.

The vulnerabilities were uncovered by mobile security company Oversecured and first reported by Hacker News.

Oversecured spent two weeks looking for gaps in the security of these apps and discovered seven dangerous vulnerabilities.
