If you have a Samsung SSD, you better update this app ASAP

Neowin reports that Samsung has fixed a serious security flaw in Samsung Magician—its SSD management app—that allowed attackers to gain administrator privileges on users’ computers.

The vulnerability, identified as CVE-2025-57836, was caused by Samsung Magician creating a temporary folder with weak permissions during the installation process, which allowed for DLL hijacking. Attackers could exploit that to elevate privileges for themselves.

The vulnerability was reportedly discovered back in August 2025 and affected versions 6.3.0 to 8.3.2 of Samsung Magician. However, it has now been fixed in Samsung Magician 9.0, so if you have a Samsung SSD in your computer, you should update your app immediately.
