Arctic Wolf has observed exploitation in the wild of CVE-2024-7399 in Samsung MagicINFO 9 Server—a CMS used to manage and remotely control digital signage displays.
As of early May 2025, Arctic Wolf has observed exploitation in the wild of CVE-2024-7399 in Samsung MagicINFO 9 Server—a content management system (CMS) used to manage and remotely control digital signage displays. The vulnerability allows for arbitrary file writing by unauthenticated users, and may ultimately lead to remote code execution when the vulnerability is used to write specially crafted JavaServer Pages (JSP) files.
This high-severity vulnerability had originally been made public by Samsung in August 2024 following responsible disclosure by security researchers, with no exploitation reported at the time. On April 30, 2025, a new research article was published along with technical details and a proof-of-concept (PoC) exploit. Exploitation was then observed within days of that publication.
Given the low barrier to exploitation and the availability of a public PoC, threat actors are likely to continue targeting this vulnerability. Arctic Wolf will continue to monitor for malicious post-compromise activities related to this vulnerability, and will alert Managed Detection and Response customers as required when malicious activities are observed.
Earlier this week, the FBI announced that it had accessed the locked phone of Thomas Matthew Crooks, the man who opened fire at a Trump rally last Saturday. A new report from Bloomberg today reveals more details about this process and the phone used by Crooks.
After Saturday’s Trump rally shooting, the FBI said on Sunday that it had been unsuccessful in unlocking Crooks’ phone. The phone was then sent to the FBI lab in Quanitco, Virginia, and on Tuesday the bureau confirmed that it had successfully unlocked the phone in question.
Google’s Threat Analysis Group (TAG) tracks actors involved in information operations (IO), government backed attacks and financially motivated abuse. For years, TAG has been tracking the activities of commercial spyware vendors to protect users. Today, we actively track more than 30 vendors with varying levels of sophistication and public exposure selling exploits or surveillance capabilities to government backed actors. These vendors are enabling the proliferation of dangerous hacking tools, arming governments that would not be able to develop these capabilities in-house. While use of surveillance technologies may be legal under national or international laws, they are often found to be used by governments to target dissidents, journalists, human rights workers and opposition party politicians.
In late 2022 and early 2023, Project Zero reported eighteen 0-day vulnerabilities in Exynos Modems produced by Samsung Semiconductor. The four most severe of these eighteen vulnerabilities (CVE-2023-24033 and three other vulnerabilities that have yet to be assigned CVE-IDs) allowed for Internet-to-baseband remote code execution. Tests conducted by Project Zero confirm that those four vulnerabilities allow an attacker to remotely compromise a phone at the baseband level with no user interaction, and require only that the attacker know the victim's phone number. With limited additional research and development, we believe that skilled attackers would be able to quickly create an operational exploit to compromise affected devices silently and remotely.
The Galaxy App Store is an alternative application store that comes pre-installed on Samsung Android devices. Several Android applications are available on both the Galaxy App Store and Google App Store, and users have the option to use either store to install specific applications. Two vulnerabilities were uncovered with the Galaxy App Store application: Technical…
If you use an Apple Macbook, it’s likely that you have a secret enclave for important secrets — such as your encryption keys. These keys define the core of the trust infrastructure on the device — and protect applications from stealing these secrets. The TEE also allows isolation between code which is fully trusted, and code that cannot be fully trusted. If this did not happen, we could install applications on our computer which would discover our login password and steal the encryption used used to key things secret and trusted.
