## Key facts

- **Exploitation phase:** Background Noise. Continuous low-level scanning or exploitation attempts are observed, mostly opportunistic and automated.
- **CVSS score:** 9.8
- **Public exploit available:** Yes
- **Affected products:** Samsung MagicINFO 9 Server
- **Weaknesses:** CWE-22 (Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal'))

## Description

Improper limitation of a pathname to a restricted directory vulnerability in Samsung MagicINFO 9 Server version before 21.1052 allows attackers to write arbitrary file as system authority.

## CrowdSec analysis

[CVE-2025-4632](https://euvd.enisa.europa.eu/vulnerability/CVE-2025-4632) is a critical vulnerability in Samsung MagicINFO 9 Server prior to version 21.1052 that allows attackers to write arbitrary files as system authority due to improper restriction of pathnames. This flaw could be exploited remotely to gain full control over the server, potentially leading to data breaches, system compromise, or the deployment of malicious code.

CrowdSec has been tracking this vulnerability and its exploits since 3rd of September 2025.

CrowdSec network data shows that most actors exploiting CVE-2025-4632 rely on broad, untargeted scans with minimal filtering. The activity is largely automated and opportunistic in nature.
In addition, according to the CrowdSec network, attack volume against CVE-2025-4632 has dipped slightly compared to the previous week. Although still commonly targeted, the decline suggests a cooling-off period. Long-term relevance remains, but attention is waning.

Attackers exploit the `/MagicInfo/servlet/SWUpdateFileUploader` endpoint to upload files outside the intended directory by abusing the `fileName` parameter with path traversal sequences, enabling remote code execution on Samsung MagicINFO 9 Server systems. Subsequent requests to `/MagicInfo/<filename>.html` are used to access the uploaded malicious files.
