CVE-2025-4632 is a critical-severity path traversal vulnerability affecting Samsung MagicINFO 9 Server, a digital signage management solution [3] [6].

Exploitation and Threat Actor Usage
  • Active Exploitation: The vulnerability was actively exploited in the wild as a zero-day [2] [7].
  • Threat Actors: Reports indicate the vulnerability has been used by threat actors to deploy the Mirai botnet [5].
  • Proof-of-Concept (PoC): A PoC exploit was published by SSD Disclosure on April 30, 2025, which preceded the release of the official patch and contributed to the subsequent surge in exploitation activity [2] [7].
Attack Method and Requirements
  • Method: The flaw is a path traversal vulnerability resulting from improper limitation of pathnames to a restricted directory [1].
  • Requirements: Exploitation can be performed remotely over the network without the need for authentication [4]. No user interaction is required [4].
Impact
  • Access Level: Successful exploitation allows an attacker to write arbitrary files to the server with system-level authority (specifically under the Apache Tomcat process) [1] [7].
  • Consequences: This capability allows attackers to upload web shells, leading to full remote code execution (RCE), data breaches, and complete system compromise [3] [4].
Affected Versions and Mitigation
  • Affected Versions: Samsung MagicINFO 9 Server versions prior to 21.1052 are vulnerable [1] [6].
  • Status: Samsung released a patch on May 13, 2025, to address the vulnerability [2]. Organizations are advised to ensure their software is updated to version 21.1052 or later [4].
