AI-suggested
European organizations should immediately audit their Newforma Project Center deployments to identify affected versions, especially those prior to 2023.1. If upgrading to a patched version is not yet possible, organizations should disable or restrict access to the '/UserWeb/Common/UploadBlueimp.ashx' endpoint via web application firewalls or network segmentation. Enforce strict authentication and authorization controls to prevent anonymous access, particularly disabling the default anonymous access setting in older versions. Implement monitoring and alerting for unusual file uploads or web shell indicators on the NIX server. Conduct thorough file system permission reviews to limit writable directories accessible by the application, minimizing the impact of any successful upload. Employ intrusion detection systems to detect exploitation attempts and maintain regular backups to recover from potential data deletion. Coordinate with Newforma for timely patch releases and apply them as soon as available. Additionally, perform penetration testing focused on file upload and path traversal vectors to validate the effectiveness of mitigations.
Description
CVE-2025-35055 is a high-severity path traversal and arbitrary file upload vulnerability in Newforma Project Center's Info Exchange component. Authenticated attackers can upload malicious files, including web shells, to any location writable by the application, enabling remote code execution and directory deletion. Additionally, versions prior to 2023.1 enable anonymous access by default (CVE-2025-35062), allowing unauthenticated attackers to exploit this vulnerability. The CVSS score is 8.8, reflecting high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability with low attack complexity and no user interaction required. No known exploits are currently reported in the wild. European organizations using Newforma Project Center should urgently assess exposure and apply mitigations to prevent potential compromise.
