Summary

The Remote Controls feature on Samsung mobile devices lacks proper validation of the source for lock-code data obtained over a network. This oversight can be exploited by remote attackers to initiate a denial of service, which leads to unintended screen locking when an arbitrary code is sent. The vulnerability arises particularly during unexpected network traffic directed at the Find My Mobile service, allowing malicious actors to disrupt device functionality without direct access.
