AI description

Automated description summarized from trusted sources.

CVE-2025-4632 is a path traversal vulnerability affecting Samsung MagicINFO 9 Server versions before 21.1052. The vulnerability stems from an improper limitation of a pathname to a restricted directory, which allows attackers to write arbitrary files with system authority. This can lead to remote code execution if specially crafted JavaServer Pages (JSP) files are uploaded. The vulnerability has been actively exploited in the wild and is considered a patch bypass for CVE-2024-7399, another path traversal flaw in the same product. Exploitation of CVE-2025-4632 has been linked to the deployment of the Mirai botnet in some instances. Samsung has released software updates to address this vulnerability.
