Detailsinfo

A vulnerability was found in Samsung Security Manager 1.32/1.40. It has been classified as critical. Affected is an unknown code of the component Apache ActiveMQ. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a unrestricted upload vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-434.

This is going to have an impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. CVE summarizes:

A client-side remote code execution vulnerability exists in Samsung Security Manager versions 1.32 and 1.4, due to improper restrictions on the PUT method exposed by the bundled Apache ActiveMQ instance (running on port 8161). An attacker can exploit this flaw through a Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS) bypass combined with JavaScript-triggered file uploads to the web server, ultimately resulting in arbitrary code execution with SYSTEM privileges. This vulnerability bypasses the server-side mitigations introduced in ZDI-15-156 and ZDI-16-481 by shifting the exploitation to the client-side. This product is now known as Hanwha Wisenet SSM and it is unknown if current versions are affected.

The weakness was released by Steven Seeley as ZDI-15-156. The advisory is available at raw.githubusercontent.com. This vulnerability is traded as CVE-2016-15046 since 07/23/2025. The exploitability is told to be easy. It is possible to launch the attack remotely. The exploitation doesn't require any form of authentication. Technical details are unknown but a public exploit is available. This vulnerability is assigned to T1608.002 by the MITRE ATT&CK project.

The exploit is shared for download at raw.githubusercontent.com. It is declared as proof-of-concept.

There is no information about possible countermeasures known. It may be suggested to replace the affected object with an alternative product.
