CVE-2018-10497
This vulnerability allows local attackers to escalate privileges on vulnerable installations of Samsung Email Fixed in version 5.0.02.16. An attacker must first obtain the ability to execute low-privileged code on the target system in order to exploit this vulnerability. The specific flaw exists within the handling of EML files. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of user-supplied data, which can allow arbitrary JavaScript to execute. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to escalate privileges to resources normally protected from the application. Was ZDI-CAN-5328.

"value": "Esta vulnerabilidad permite que los atacantes locales escalen privilegios en instalaciones vulnerables de Samsung Email, solucionado en la versión 5.0.02.16. En primer lugar, un atacante debe obtener la capacidad de ejecutar código de bajos privilegios en el sistema objetivo para explotar esta vulnerabilidad. Este error en concreto existe en el manejo de archivos EML. El problema deriva de la falta de validación correcta de datos proporcionados por el usuario, lo que puede permitir la ejecución de JavaScript arbitrario.. Un atacante puede aprovechar esta vulnerabilidad para escalar privilegios a recursos que suelen estar protegidos de la aplicación. Anteriormente era ZDI-CAN-5328."
