Well, now I'll live in constant fear of ever clicking on a link using my Android. Ha.

This is not a bug/exploit - it's a feature by Samsung used for malicious purposes. Scary non the less.

From what I've read on this, it only affects Samsungs TouchWiz on the Samsung Galaxy SI, Samsung Galaxy SII, and the AT&T Version of the Samsung Galaxy SIII. The bug is said to be in TouchWiz, so if you don't own a Samsung Device, don't worry, and if you own a Samsung device (like the Galaxy Nexus) without their TouchWiz, don't worry
