CVE-2025-34068Known exploitationPublic exploitNetwork attack vector

Unauthenticated root command execution via diagnostic parameters

Published Jul 15, 2025 · Updated May 15, 2026

OS command injection in Samsung Electronics WEA453e firmware before 5.2.4.T1 allows remote attackers to execute commands as root. The Tech Support diagnostic passes command1 and command2 request values to the underlying shell without validating or neutralizing them. No authentication or user interaction is required, and command output can be written to a readable download path, enabling complete device compromise.
