Samsung MagicINFO 9 Server Incorrect Default Permissions Local Privilege Escalation Vulnerability
This issue affects MagicINFO 9 Server: less than 21.1091.1.
AnalysisAI
Local privilege escalation in Samsung MagicINFO 9 Server versions prior to 21.1091.1 enables authenticated low-privileged users to escalate to high privileges through incorrect default file/directory permissions. Attackers with local access can obtain complete system control, compromising confidentiality, integrity, and availability. Attack requires local access and low-level authentication but no user interaction. No public exploit identified at time of analysis.
Technical ContextAI
Root cause stems from CWE-276 (Incorrect Default Permissions) where critical MagicINFO server files or directories are configured with overly permissive access controls, allowing authenticated users to modify sensitive resources. CVSS vector AV:L/PR:L indicates exploitation requires local system access with existing low-privilege credentials. The S:U scope parameter confirms privilege escalation remains contained within the vulnerable component.
RemediationAI
Vendor-released patch: upgrade to Samsung MagicINFO 9 Server version 21.1091.1 or later, which remediates the incorrect default permissions. Consult official advisory at https://security.samsungtv.com/securityUpdates for installation instructions and release notes. Until patching is feasible, implement compensating controls including restricting local user account creation, enforcing principle of least privilege through system-level access controls, and monitoring file system permissions on MagicINFO installation directories for unauthorized modifications. Audit existing user permissions to ensure no low-privilege accounts have unnecessary access to server directories. Disable or restrict local interactive logon for non-administrative accounts where operationally viable.
