Most of these vulnerabilities affect Galaxy smartphones and tablets with Android 10, Android 11, and Android 12, but some also touch the latest version of the robot. Among the latter, one concerns the RCS system, which would allow malicious actors to access the phone number of an incoming call. It also required action on the vulnerability that would allow access to the contents of the toast notifications of the Personal Area through the Nice Catch app (it is part of the Good Lock package).

Galaxy S10 series was released back in 2019 and came with Android 9 (pie) and upgraded to Android 12, unfortunately, the device is not eligible for Android 13, but we hope that it should get more new security updates in the future.
