Mirai Reloaded: Why CVE-2024-7399 Still Haunts Samsung Servers
Manage episode 481240553 series 3645080
In this episode, we break down the active exploitation of CVE-2024-7399, a critical path traversal and arbitrary file upload vulnerability in Samsung MagicINFO 9 Server. Despite a patch released in August 2024 (version 21.1050 and later), many systems remain exposed — and threat actors are taking full advantage.
We explore how attackers are exploiting this flaw to gain system-level access, upload malicious .jsp files, and deploy Mirai botnet variants. You'll hear insights from key cybersecurity sources including Arctic Wolf, The Hacker News, and the Internet Storm Center, who confirm widespread targeting of unpatched MagicINFO servers.
Listeners will learn about:
- How the vulnerability works and why it’s dangerous
- The tactics used to upload and execute botnet scripts
- The real-world impact of compromised digital signage networks
- Why patching, access controls, and secure file handling are critical for IoT and CMS systems
Whether you're an infosec pro, IT admin, or digital signage operator, this episode delivers everything you need to know about CVE-2024-7399, its implications, and how to stay protected in an increasingly botnet-riddled world.
