CVE-2025-15373

6.3 MEDIUM

📋 TL;DR

This CVE describes a Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) vulnerability in EyouCMS versions up to 1.7.7. Attackers can exploit the saveRemote function in application/function.php to make the server send unauthorized requests to internal or external systems. All users running affected EyouCMS versions are vulnerable to this remote attack.

💻 Affected Systems

Products:
  • EyouCMS
Versions: Up to and including 1.7.7
Operating Systems: All
Default Config Vulnerable: ⚠️ Yes
Notes: All installations with the vulnerable function accessible are affected. No special configuration required.

📦 What is this software?

⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact

🔴

Worst Case

Attackers could access internal services, exfiltrate sensitive data, or pivot to other systems by making the vulnerable server proxy requests to internal network resources.

🟠

Likely Case

Attackers will scan for vulnerable instances and use them to probe internal networks, access metadata services, or interact with internal APIs to gather information.

🟢

If Mitigated

With proper network segmentation and egress filtering, the impact is limited to unsuccessful external requests or access to non-sensitive internal endpoints.

🌐 Internet-Facing: HIGH
🏢 Internal Only: MEDIUM

🎯 Exploit Status

Public PoC: ⚠️ Yes
Weaponized: LIKELY
Unauthenticated Exploit: ⚠️ Yes
Complexity: LOW

Public proof-of-concept exists, making exploitation straightforward for attackers with basic skills.

🛠️ Fix & Mitigation

✅ Official Fix

Patch Version: 1.7.8

Vendor Advisory: Not provided in references

Restart Required: No

Instructions:

1. Backup your current installation. 2. Download EyouCMS version 1.7.8 from the official source. 3. Replace the vulnerable application/function.php file with the patched version. 4. Verify the fix by checking the saveRemote function implementation.

🔧 Temporary Workarounds

Disable vulnerable function

all

Temporarily disable or restrict access to the saveRemote function

# Add access control or comment out function in application/function.php

Network egress filtering

linux

Restrict outbound connections from the web server to only necessary destinations

# Configure firewall rules to limit outbound HTTP/HTTPS from web server

🧯 If You Can't Patch

  • Implement strict network segmentation to isolate the vulnerable server from internal resources
  • Deploy a web application firewall (WAF) with SSRF protection rules

🔍 How to Verify

Check if Vulnerable:

Check if your EyouCMS version is 1.7.7 or earlier by examining the version file or admin panel

Check Version:

Check admin panel or look for version information in configuration files

Verify Fix Applied:

Verify the application/function.php file has been updated to version 1.7.8 or check that the saveRemote function includes proper URL validation

📡 Detection & Monitoring

Log Indicators:

  • Unusual outbound HTTP requests from web server process
  • Requests to internal IP addresses or metadata services from web server

Network Indicators:

  • Web server making unexpected outbound connections to unusual destinations
  • HTTP requests to internal network ranges from external-facing server

SIEM Query:

source="web_server_logs" AND (dest_ip IN internal_ranges OR dest_host LIKE "*.internal" OR dest_host="169.254.169.254")
