Samsung Kies Air 2.1.207051 and 2.1.210161 relies on the IP address for authentication, which allows remote man-in-the-middle attackers to read arbitrary phone contents by spoofing or controlling the IP address.

Weakness

When an actor claims to have a given identity, the product does not prove or insufficiently proves that the claim is correct.
