CVE-2025-55061

8.8 HIGH

📋 TL;DR

CVE-2025-55061 is an unrestricted file upload vulnerability (CWE-434) that allows attackers to upload malicious files to vulnerable systems. This could lead to remote code execution, data theft, or system compromise. Any system with affected software that accepts file uploads is potentially vulnerable.

💻 Affected Systems

Products:
  • Unknown - No specific products identified in provided reference
Versions: Unknown - Version information not available in provided reference
Operating Systems: All - Vulnerability is application-level, not OS-specific
Default Config Vulnerable: ⚠️ Yes
Notes: Affects any application with file upload functionality that lacks proper validation. The provided government advisory link does not specify particular products.

⚠️ Manual Verification Required

This CVE does not have specific version information in our database, so automatic vulnerability detection cannot determine if your system is affected.

Why? The CVE database entry doesn't specify which versions are vulnerable (no version ranges provided by the vendor/NVD).

🔒 Custom verification scripts are available for registered users. Sign up free to download automated test scripts.

Recommended Actions:
  1. Review the CVE details at NVD
  2. Check vendor security advisories for your specific version
  3. Test if the vulnerability is exploitable in your environment
  4. Consider updating to the latest version as a precaution

⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact

🔴

Worst Case

Complete system compromise via remote code execution, data exfiltration, and persistent backdoor installation.

🟠

Likely Case

Webshell deployment leading to unauthorized access, data manipulation, and lateral movement within the network.

🟢

If Mitigated

File uploads blocked or sanitized, limiting impact to denial of service or failed upload attempts.

🌐 Internet-Facing: HIGH - Internet-facing systems accepting file uploads are directly exposed to exploitation attempts.
🏢 Internal Only: MEDIUM - Internal systems are still vulnerable to insider threats or compromised internal accounts.

🎯 Exploit Status

Public PoC: ✅ No
Weaponized: UNKNOWN
Unauthenticated Exploit: ⚠️ Yes
Complexity: LOW

File upload vulnerabilities typically have low exploitation complexity. Exploit availability unknown due to limited public information.

🛠️ Fix & Mitigation

✅ Official Fix

Patch Version: Unknown

Vendor Advisory: https://www.gov.il/en/departments/dynamiccollectors/cve_advisories_listing?skip=0

Restart Required: No

Instructions:

1. Monitor vendor advisories for specific affected products. 2. Apply patches when available. 3. Implement workarounds immediately.

🔧 Temporary Workarounds

File Upload Validation

all

Implement server-side validation of file types, extensions, and content.

Web Application Firewall Rules

all

Configure WAF to block suspicious file uploads and known malicious extensions.

🧯 If You Can't Patch

  • Disable file upload functionality entirely if not required
  • Implement strict file type whitelisting and size limits

🔍 How to Verify

Check if Vulnerable:

Test if application accepts files with dangerous extensions (.php, .exe, .jsp) or malicious content.

Check Version:

Check application version against vendor advisories when available.

Verify Fix Applied:

Verify that file upload validation rejects dangerous file types and performs proper content checking.

📡 Detection & Monitoring

Log Indicators:

  • Unusual file upload attempts
  • Files with suspicious extensions being uploaded
  • Large number of failed upload attempts

Network Indicators:

  • HTTP POST requests with file uploads to vulnerable endpoints
  • Traffic patterns indicating file upload exploitation

SIEM Query:

source="web_server" AND (method="POST" AND uri CONTAINS "upload") AND (status=200 OR status=201) AND (user_agent CONTAINS "curl" OR user_agent CONTAINS "wget")
