Samsung Electronics MagicINFO 9 Server | < 21.1080.0 How the Exploit Works
An attacker exploiting CVE-2025-54441 will take advantage of the unrestricted file upload functionality in the Samsung Electronics MagicINFO 9 Server. This allows the attacker to upload a file with a dangerous type, such as a .php or .js file containing malicious code. Once uploaded, the attacker can execute this code, potentially gaining control over the server or leaking sensitive data.
Conceptual Example Code
Here’s a conceptual example of how the vulnerability might be exploited using an HTTP request to upload a malicious file:
POST /upload/file HTTP/1.1
Host: target.example.com
Content-Type: multipart/form-data; boundary=----WebKitFormBoundary7MA4YWxkTrZu0gW
Authorization: Bearer <token>
------WebKitFormBoundary7MA4YWxkTrZu0gW
Content-Disposition: form-data; name="file"; filename="exploit.php"
Content-Type: application/php
<?php
// malicious code here
?>
------WebKitFormBoundary7MA4YWxkTrZu0gW--This request attempts to upload a PHP file containing malicious code. If successful, the attacker can then navigate to the location of the uploaded file on the server and execute the malicious code.
Remember, this is a conceptual example. Actual exploit code would differ based on the specific vulnerability, server configuration, and the attacker’s objectives.
