In Knox SDS IAM (Identity Access Management) and EMM (Enterprise Mobility Management) 16.11 on Samsung mobile devices, a man-in-the-middle attacker can install any application into the Knox container (without the users knowledge) by inspecting network traffic from a Samsung server and injecting content at a certain point in the update sequence. This installed application can further leak information stored inside the Knox container to the outside world.

Weakness

The product constructs all or part of a command, data structure, or record using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify how it is parsed or interpreted when it is sent to a downstream component.
