Warning! Nexus S 4G susceptible to same USSD exploit as galaxy s3, even with cyanogenmod

[6tr6tr]

I have CM9 on a nexus s4g and i ran the exploit test: How to tell if your Samsung phone is vulnerable to today's USSD hack | Android Central and it worked! This is a huge vulnerability and you should all be careful. please report if it also works on your phone and what OS you have.

Yes but they are stating that it doesn't apply to Nexus/AOSP users... So I wouldn't get to excited over this just yet...

I wouldn't let your guard down but I wouldn't loose sleep over this just yet.

On mine the dialer pops up and shows *#60#

Does that mean anything?

If the dialer shows *#60# or nothing at all, then the exploit does not work on your phone. Like the article says, this should only work on Samsung phones with Touchwiz. If you are on the stock ROM, or an AOSP ROM, it should not work.

If the exploit works with your custom ROM, like CM, then it is a problem with the ROM, not the Nexus S.
