Attack Vector: Network
Attack Complexity: Low

Vulnerable system availability: Low
Subsequent system confidentiality: None
Subsequent system integrity: None

Bold values are the worst case: easiest to exploit or largest impact.

Attack Vector: Network: The vulnerable system is bound to the network stack and the set of possible attackers extends beyond the other options listed below, up to and including the entire Internet. Such a vulnerability is often termed “remotely exploitable” and can be thought of as an attack being exploitable at the protocol level one or more network hops away (e.g., across one or more routers).
Attack Complexity: Low: The attacker must take no measurable action to exploit the vulnerability. The attack requires no target-specific circumvention to exploit the vulnerability. An attacker can expect repeatable success against the vulnerable system.
Attack Requirements: None: The successful attack does not depend on the deployment and execution conditions of the vulnerable system. The attacker can expect to be able to reach the vulnerability and execute the exploit under all or most instances of the vulnerability.
Privileges Required: None: The attacker is unauthorized prior to attack, and therefore does not require any access to settings or files of the vulnerable system to carry out an attack.
User Interaction: None: The vulnerable system can be exploited without interaction from any human user, other than the attacker.
Vulnerable system confidentiality: Low: There is some loss of confidentiality. Access to some restricted information is obtained, but the attacker does not have control over what information is obtained, or the amount or kind of loss is limited. The information disclosure does not cause a direct, serious loss to the Vulnerable System.
Vulnerable system integrity: Low: Modification of data is possible, but the attacker does not have control over the consequence of a modification, or the amount of modification is limited. The data modification does not have a direct, serious impact to the Vulnerable System.
Vulnerable system availability: Low: Performance is reduced or there are interruptions in resource availability. Even if repeated exploitation of the vulnerability is possible, the attacker does not have the ability to completely deny service to legitimate users. The resources in the Vulnerable System are either partially available all of the time, or fully available only some of the time, but overall there is no direct, serious consequence to the Vulnerable System.
Subsequent system confidentiality: None: There is no loss of confidentiality within the Subsequent System or all confidentiality impact is constrained to the Vulnerable System.
Subsequent system integrity: None: There is no loss of integrity within the Subsequent System or all integrity impact is constrained to the Vulnerable System.
Subsequent system availability: None: There is no impact to availability within the Subsequent System or all availability impact is constrained to the Vulnerable System.

Exploitation evidence

Disclosed: evidence found.
CVE published 14 Apr 2025
Detectable: no evidence on record.
No public nuclei template indexed
Weaponised: no evidence on record.
No public exploit code indexed in Metasploit or Exploit-DB
Exploited in the wildExploited: no evidence on record.
Not in CISA KEV and no source reports exploitation

No attack traffic recorded by OffSeq Mirage sensors

A missing step is not evidence of safety. Sources: cve.org (opens in a new tab), the Metasploit, Exploit-DB and nuclei-templates index as of 26 Oct 2026.

Disclosed: The CVE record is public on cve.org. Its publication is t = 0.
Detectable: A public nuclei template can find exposed instances, for defenders and attackers alike.
Weaponised: Public exploit code exists in Metasploit or Exploit-DB, or CISA SSVC reports a public proof of concept.
Exploited in the wild: CISA KEV lists it, CISA SSVC rates exploitation active, or a source reports attacks.
Observed by OffSeq Mirage: OffSeq Mirage honeypot sensors recorded attack traffic for this CVE, or found exposed hosts without attack traffic.

Moments are spaced evenly, not to scale; a dashed line marks a gap of six months or more. Deltas count from t = 0. Sources that give only a date (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, or a time of exactly 00:00Z) read “same day” rather than hours. Metasploit modules carry the flaw’s disclosure date, not their release date, and nuclei templates carry no date, so both appear above but not on the timeline.

AI-suggested

Immediate mitigation should focus on restricting access to the /discuss/uploadMdPic endpoint via network controls such as web application firewalls (WAFs) configured to block suspicious file uploads or limit upload types and sizes. Organizations should implement strict input validation and file type verification at the application or proxy level to prevent unauthorized file types from being uploaded. Deploying runtime application self-protection (RASP) or endpoint detection and response (EDR) tools can help detect and block exploitation attempts. Until an official patch is released, consider disabling the uploadMdPic functionality if feasible or restricting it to authenticated and authorized users only. Regularly monitor server logs for unusual upload activity and conduct thorough security assessments of the affected systems. Additionally, isolate the affected system from critical internal networks to limit potential lateral movement. Organizations should also prepare for rapid patch deployment once a fix becomes available and maintain up-to-date backups to enable recovery from potential compromises.

Description

A vulnerability, which was classified as critical, has been found in veal98 小牛肉 Echo 开源社区系统 4.2. This issue affects the function uploadMdPic of the file /discuss/uploadMdPic. The manipulation of the argument editormd-image-file leads to unrestricted upload. The attack may be initiated remotely. The exploit has been disclosed to the public and may be used.

Impact

For European organizations using the veal98 Echo 开源社区系统 version 4.2, this vulnerability poses a significant risk. Unrestricted file upload vulnerabilities are commonly exploited to gain initial access or escalate privileges within a network. Attackers could upload web shells or malware, leading to data breaches, defacement, or lateral movement within the network. Given the public disclosure and absence of patches, organizations face increased exposure. The impact on confidentiality is moderate since attackers could access sensitive data through uploaded malicious files. Integrity and availability impacts are also moderate, as attackers might alter or disrupt services by uploading harmful content. European organizations relying on this platform for community engagement or internal collaboration could experience reputational damage, regulatory penalties under GDPR if personal data is compromised, and operational disruptions. The risk is heightened for organizations with internet-facing instances of the affected software without adequate compensating controls.
