Arbitrary code execution via deserialized file write
Published Jul 29, 2025 · Updated Jul 29, 2025
Deserialization in Samsung HVAC DMS allows remote authenticated users to execute arbitrary code through a system file write. Samsung and Claroty have not disclosed the affected service, serialized object, or routine; public details establish only that untrusted data produces a system file write that leads to code execution. An administrator must reach the DMS service over the network, and the affected branches are 2.0.0 through 2.3.13.0, 2.5.0.17 through 2.6.14.0, and 2.7.0.15 through 2.9.3.5; Samsung states that DMS belongs only on a separate dedicated network.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
Compare these published version ranges with your installed build and any vendor patches.
- Affected versionversion=2.0.0 <2.3.13.1
- Affected versionversion=2.5.0.17 <2.6.14.1
- Affected versionversion=2.7.0.15 <2.9.3.6
