CVE-2025-36846

9.8 CRITICAL

📋 TL;DR

This vulnerability allows unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary operating system commands on servers running Eveo URVE Web Manager 27.02.2025. The application exposes a vulnerable endpoint that passes user input directly to PHP's shell_exec() function without proper sanitization. This affects all deployments of the vulnerable version.

💻 Affected Systems

Products:
  • Eveo URVE Web Manager
Versions: 27.02.2025
Operating Systems: Any OS running PHP
Default Config Vulnerable: ⚠️ Yes
Notes: The vulnerable endpoint is accessible without authentication by default. Can be chained with CVE-2025-36845 for increased impact.

📦 What is this software?

⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact

🔴

Worst Case

Complete system compromise allowing attackers to install malware, exfiltrate sensitive data, pivot to internal networks, or deploy ransomware across the entire infrastructure.

🟠

Likely Case

Attackers gain remote code execution to steal credentials, deploy backdoors, or use the system as a foothold for lateral movement within the network.

🟢

If Mitigated

If properly segmented and monitored, impact could be limited to the specific application server with potential data loss from that system.

🌐 Internet-Facing: HIGH
🏢 Internal Only: HIGH

🎯 Exploit Status

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

Exploitation requires only HTTP requests to the vulnerable endpoint with command injection payloads. Public proof-of-concept available in advisory.

🛠️ Fix & Mitigation

✅ Official Fix

Patch Version: Unknown

Vendor Advisory: https://smartoffice.expert/en/

Restart Required: No

Instructions:

1. Check vendor website for security updates. 2. Apply any available patches. 3. Verify the /_internal/pc/vpro.php endpoint is no longer accessible or properly secured.

🔧 Temporary Workarounds

Block Vulnerable Endpoint

all

Use web server configuration to block access to the vulnerable endpoint

# Apache: RewriteRule ^/_internal/pc/vpro\.php$ - [F,L]
# Nginx: location ~ ^/_internal/pc/vpro\.php$ { return 403; }

Network Access Control

linux

Restrict access to the application to trusted IP addresses only

# iptables example: iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 80 -s 192.168.1.0/24 -j ACCEPT
# iptables example: iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 80 -j DROP

🧯 If You Can't Patch

  • Immediately isolate affected systems from internet and critical internal networks
  • Implement strict network segmentation and monitor all traffic to/from affected systems

🔍 How to Verify

Check if Vulnerable:

Send HTTP GET request to http://target/_internal/pc/vpro.php?param=test and check for response indicating command execution capability

Check Version:

Check application version in web interface or configuration files

Verify Fix Applied:

Attempt to access the vulnerable endpoint and verify it returns 403/404 or proper authentication is required

📡 Detection & Monitoring

Log Indicators:

  • Unusual POST/GET requests to /_internal/pc/vpro.php
  • Commands like whoami, id, ls, cat, wget, curl in URL parameters
  • Multiple failed authentication attempts followed by successful access to internal endpoints

Network Indicators:

  • HTTP requests containing shell metacharacters (;, |, &, $, `) in parameters
  • Outbound connections from web server to unusual external IPs
  • Traffic patterns suggesting reverse shell establishment

SIEM Query:

source="web_logs" AND (uri="/_internal/pc/vpro.php" OR (uri CONTAINS "vpro.php" AND (param CONTAINS ";" OR param CONTAINS "|" OR param CONTAINS "$" OR param CONTAINS "`")))
