Security readout for executives and security teams
Plain-English summary
MagicINFO 9 Server before 21.1090.1 contains hardcoded database credentials. An attacker could use those credentials to access and manipulate the database, risking data theft, service disruption, and unauthorized changes. The CVSS score is critical, but the provided sources do not show active exploitation.
Executive priority
Treat as urgent for any organization using MagicINFO 9 Server. A critical hardcoded credential flaw can undermine confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the system’s database. Prioritize version confirmation and vendor update deployment.
Technical view
CVE-2026-25202 is a CWE-798 hardcoded credential issue in Samsung MagicINFO 9 Server versions earlier than 21.1090.1. The CVSS 3.1 vector is 9.8: network exploitable, low complexity, no privileges, no user interaction, with high confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact.
Likely exposure
Exposure is limited to Samsung MagicINFO 9 Server deployments running versions earlier than 21.1090.1. Risk is higher where the server or its database path is reachable from untrusted networks. The source bundle does not identify other affected Samsung products.
Exploitation context
The issue enables database login using embedded credentials. Public sources provided do not include exploit code, proof of concept, or confirmed in-the-wild exploitation. It is not listed as KEV in the provided data.
Researcher notes
The public record is concise and does not disclose credential values, database type, or detailed attack path. The affected range is stated as less than 21.1090.1. Validate against official Samsung guidance before making assumptions about configuration-specific exposure.
Mitigation direction
- Upgrade MagicINFO 9 Server to 21.1090.1 or later.
- Review Samsung’s security updates page for current vendor guidance.
- Restrict network access to MagicINFO Server and database services.
- After updating, rotate database credentials if vendor guidance supports it.
- Monitor database and application logs for unauthorized access patterns.
Validation and detection
- Inventory all MagicINFO 9 Server instances and record versions.
- Flag any MagicINFO 9 Server version earlier than 21.1090.1.
- Confirm internet and internal network exposure of the server and database.
- Verify the vendor update is installed successfully.
- Review recent database access logs for unexpected accounts or source addresses.

CWE-798: Credential and account abuse lookup
Authentication and credential weaknesses can make valid-account abuse and credential telemetry useful review starting points. Open the exact CWE lookup page first, then review the ATT&CK searches from that MITRE weakness context. This is a Glexia lookup hint, not an official ATT&CK mapping.
Open ATT&CK lookupCredential and access behavior lookup
The CVE wording references authentication or credential exposure, so valid-account and credential-access review may help. This is a Glexia inferred lookup path, not an official MITRE, ATT&CK, or CVE Program mapping.

Use of Hard-coded Credentials
Use of Hard-coded Credentials represents a recurring weakness pattern that can create exploitable paths when design, validation, or implementation controls are missing.
