Samsung KNOX 1.0 uses a weak eCryptFS Key generation algorithm, which makes it easier for local users to obtain sensitive information by leveraging knowledge of the TIMA key and a brute-force attack.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is a legacy Samsung KNOX issue where weak key generation could make protected data easier to recover for someone with local access and knowledge of the TIMA key. The sources do not provide CVSS, confirmed affected device models, a patch, or evidence of active exploitation. Exposure is most plausible in old Samsung fleets still running KNOX 1.0 on Android 4.3. Modern Samsung Enterprise deployments may not be affected, but the provided CVE data does not define exact models or versions beyond the public reference titles. Treat this as a legacy fleet hygiene risk. It is not supported by evidence of active exploitation, but affected devices may weaken confidentiality guarantees for protected data and should not handle sensitive business information. Mitigation focus: Identify and retire devices running KNOX 1.0 or Android 4.3.; Check Samsung or carrier guidance for any available fixed firmware.; Remove legacy affected devices from sensitive-data workflows..
