CVE-2025-11436 is a vulnerability identified in the JhumanJ OpnForm software, specifically affecting versions 1.9.0 through 1.9.3. The issue resides in an unspecified functionality related to the /answer endpoint, which allows an attacker to perform unrestricted file uploads remotely. This means that an attacker can upload arbitrary files without proper validation or restrictions, potentially leading to the execution of malicious code, data tampering, or denial of service. The vulnerability requires low privileges (PR:L) but does not require user interaction (UI:N) or authentication (AT:N), making it easier to exploit remotely over the network (AV:N). The CVSS 4.0 base score is 5.3, indicating a medium severity level, reflecting limited but significant impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The vulnerability does not require complex attack conditions (AC:L) and has a partial impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability (VC:L, VI:L, VA:L). Although no known exploits are currently active in the wild, the exploit code has been publicly disclosed, increasing the likelihood of exploitation attempts. The vendor has released a patch identified by commit 95c3e23856465d202e6aec10bdb6ee0688b5305a, which should be applied promptly to remediate the issue. The vulnerability is particularly dangerous in environments where OpnForm is exposed to the internet or untrusted networks, as attackers can leverage the unrestricted upload to deploy web shells or other malicious payloads.

For European organizations, the unrestricted upload vulnerability in JhumanJ OpnForm poses a significant risk, especially for those using affected versions in web-facing applications. Successful exploitation can lead to unauthorized file uploads, enabling attackers to execute arbitrary code, escalate privileges, or disrupt services. This can compromise sensitive data confidentiality, alter data integrity, and impact system availability. Organizations in sectors such as government, finance, healthcare, and critical infrastructure that rely on OpnForm for data collection or workflow automation are particularly vulnerable. The medium severity score suggests that while the vulnerability is not critical, it can serve as an entry point for more severe attacks if combined with other vulnerabilities or misconfigurations. The public availability of exploit code increases the urgency for patching, as opportunistic attackers may attempt to exploit this flaw. Failure to address this vulnerability could result in data breaches, service outages, and reputational damage within European entities.

To mitigate CVE-2025-11436, European organizations should immediately apply the official patch released by JhumanJ (commit 95c3e23856465d202e6aec10bdb6ee0688b5305a) to all affected OpnForm instances. Beyond patching, organizations should implement strict input validation and file type restrictions on upload endpoints, ensuring only authorized file formats are accepted. Deploying web application firewalls (WAFs) with rules to detect and block suspicious upload attempts can provide an additional layer of defense. Regularly audit and monitor logs for unusual upload activity or unauthorized file presence. Restrict access to the /answer endpoint using network segmentation and access controls to limit exposure to trusted users or systems. Employ runtime application self-protection (RASP) tools to detect and prevent exploitation attempts in real-time. Finally, conduct security awareness training for administrators and developers to recognize and respond to file upload vulnerabilities and maintain up-to-date software inventories to ensure timely patch management.
