CVE-2025-53080Network attack vector

Arbitrary file creation via path traversal

Published Jul 29, 2025 · Updated Jul 29, 2025

Path traversal in affected Samsung Electronics HVAC DMS releases allows remote authenticated users to create files outside intended directories. Samsung has not disclosed the affected endpoint or parameter, but identifies the failing operation as file creation using a path not confined to its intended directory. Affected versions 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; authenticated network access is required.
