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

Attack Vector: Network: The vulnerable component is bound to the network stack and the set of possible attackers extends beyond the other options listed, 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: Specialized access conditions or extenuating circumstances do not exist. An attacker can expect repeatable success against the vulnerable component.
Privileges Required: None: The attacker is unauthorized prior to attack, and therefore does not require any access to settings or files to carry out an attack.
User Interaction: Required: Successful exploitation of this vulnerability requires a user to take some action before the vulnerability can be exploited.
Scope: Unchanged: An exploited vulnerability can only affect resources managed by the same security authority. In this case, the vulnerable component and the impacted component are either the same, or both are managed by the same security authority.
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 impacted component.
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 on the impacted component.
Availability: None: There is no impact to availability within the impacted component.

Exploitation evidence

Disclosed: evidence found.
CVE published 3 Jun 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
Observed by OffSeq MirageSeen by Mirage: no evidence on record.
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 2026-10-26.

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

1. Immediate mitigation should focus on restricting file upload capabilities to trusted users only and implementing strict validation on file types, sizes, and content. 2. Employ server-side checks to verify MIME types and use allowlists for acceptable file extensions. 3. Implement sandboxing or isolation mechanisms for uploaded files to prevent execution of malicious code. 4. Monitor and log all file upload activities to detect suspicious behavior promptly. 5. If possible, disable the vulnerable upload component until a patch or update is available. 6. Conduct regular security assessments and penetration testing focused on file upload functionalities. 7. Educate users about the risks of uploading untrusted files and enforce multi-factor authentication to reduce the risk of unauthorized access. 8. Stay updated with vendor advisories and apply patches as soon as they are released. 9. Consider deploying Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) with rules targeting arbitrary file upload attempts to provide an additional layer of defense.

Description

An arbitrary file upload vulnerability in the component /upload/GoodsCategory/image of erupt v1.12.19 allows attackers to execute arbitrary code via uploading a crafted file.

Impact

For European organizations using the erupt framework, particularly version 1.12.19, this vulnerability poses a moderate risk. Successful exploitation could lead to unauthorized code execution, potentially compromising sensitive data or system integrity. This is especially critical for organizations handling personal data under GDPR regulations, as any breach could result in significant legal and financial consequences. The vulnerability could be leveraged to implant backdoors, escalate privileges, or pivot to other internal systems, increasing the risk of broader network compromise. However, the requirement for user interaction reduces the likelihood of automated mass exploitation, making targeted attacks more probable. Organizations in sectors such as e-commerce, manufacturing, or any industry relying on erupt for content or product management should be particularly vigilant. Additionally, the absence of known exploits in the wild provides a window for proactive mitigation before widespread attacks occur.

Base weaknessLikelihood of exploit: MediumCWE Top 25 (2025): #12OWASP Top 10 A06:2025: Insecure Design (opens in a new tab)
The product allows the upload or transfer of dangerous file types that are automatically processed within its environment.
Architecture and Design
Generate a new, unique filename for an uploaded file instead of using the user-supplied filename, so that no external input is used at all.
Architecture and Design · Enforcement by Conversion
When the set of acceptable objects, such as filenames or URLs, is limited or known, create a mapping from a set of fixed input values (such as numeric IDs) to the actual filenames or URLs, and reject all other inputs.
Architecture and Design
Consider storing the uploaded files outside of the web document root entirely. Then, use other mechanisms to deliver the files dynamically.
