A request that included a specially crafted request parameter could be used to redirect the user to a page controlled by an attacker. This URL would need to be presented to the user outside the normal request flow through a XSS or phishing campaign.

An attacker must first obtain physical access to the device in order to exploit this vulnerability. The specific flaws exists within the the handling of the lock screen for Secure Folder. The issue results from the lack of proper validation that a user has correctly authenticated. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to disclose the contents of the secure container.
