CVE-2025-54455
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedUse of Hard-coded Credentials vulnerability in Samsung Electronics MagicINFO 9 Server allows Authentication Bypass.This issue affects MagicINFO 9 Server: less than 21.1080.0.
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · moderate confidenceMagicINFO 9 Server versions before 21.1080.0 contain hard-coded credentials embedded in the application code or configuration. Attackers can use these credentials to authenticate to the server without legitimate user credentials, achieving full authentication bypass.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Identify installed MagicINFO 9 Server versionLocate the version information through the application web interface, about page, or check installation directories for version manifest files. Consult vendor documentation for version retrieval commands or files.Affected if The installed version is below 21.1080.0
-
Determine if the management interface is network-accessibleReview network configuration and firewall rules to confirm whether the MagicINFO management interface is reachable from untrusted networks. Check for exposed ports typically used by the application.Affected if The management interface is accessible from networks outside the trusted administrative zone
-
Inspect application configuration files for embedded credentialsSearch configuration and property files within the MagicINFO installation directory for hard-coded username and password values. Look for default or static credential patterns in XML, properties, or config files.Affected if Hard-coded credentials are found in configuration files or the application code contains static authentication values
If the installed MagicINFO 9 Server version is below 21.1080.0 and the management interface is network-accessible, the environment is likely affected by this hard-coded credential vulnerability.
Generated from the published advisory. Verify against your own configuration.
Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
dbcve · scoped21.1080.0
Update MagicINFO 9 Server to version 21.1080.0 or later to remove the hard-coded credentials. If immediate patching is not possible, restrict network access to the management interface and implement alternative authentication controls.
21.1080.0 or later
- Upgrade MagicINFO 9 Server to version 21.1080.0 or later to resolve the hard-coded credentials vulnerability.
- Verify the upgrade was successful by confirming the server version after installation.
- Test authentication functionality to ensure the authentication bypass vulnerability is remediated.
- Ensure the upgraded server is running the latest security configuration.
