CVE-2025-47184 is an XML External Entities (XXE) injection vulnerability identified in the /init API endpoint of the Exagid EX10 version 7.0.1p02. This vulnerability allows an attacker who is authenticated but holds unprivileged access to exploit the system by sending a specially crafted ISys XML message. The XXE flaw enables the attacker to manipulate the XML parser to process external entities, which can lead to unauthorized disclosure of sensitive information and potentially escalate privileges within the system. The vulnerability arises due to insufficient input validation and improper handling of XML entities in the API endpoint. Although the attacker must be authenticated, the lack of privilege requirements lowers the barrier to exploitation for insiders or compromised accounts. The vulnerability does not currently have a CVSS score and there are no known exploits in the wild, but the potential for information disclosure combined with privilege escalation makes it a significant security concern. The absence of patch links suggests that a fix may not yet be publicly available or that vendors have not yet released updates addressing this issue. Given the nature of the Exagid EX10 product, which is typically used for secure file transfer and data exchange in enterprise environments, exploitation could compromise critical data flows and system integrity.

For European organizations, the impact of CVE-2025-47184 could be substantial, especially for those relying on Exagid EX10 appliances for secure data transfer and integration workflows. Information disclosure could expose sensitive corporate data, intellectual property, or personal data protected under GDPR, leading to regulatory penalties and reputational damage. Privilege escalation could allow attackers to gain administrative control, enabling further lateral movement, data manipulation, or disruption of business-critical processes. This threat is particularly concerning for sectors with high data sensitivity such as finance, healthcare, government, and critical infrastructure operators. The requirement for authentication limits the attack surface to insiders or compromised accounts, but this does not eliminate risk as phishing or credential theft remains common. The lack of known exploits in the wild currently reduces immediate risk, but the vulnerability's publication may prompt attackers to develop exploits. European organizations must consider the potential for compliance violations, operational disruption, and data breaches stemming from this vulnerability.

To mitigate CVE-2025-47184, European organizations should first verify if they are using Exagid EX10 version 7.0.1p02 or earlier versions that might be affected. Immediate steps include restricting access to the /init API endpoint to only trusted and necessary users, implementing strict authentication and authorization controls, and monitoring API usage for anomalous XML payloads indicative of XXE attacks. Network segmentation and limiting administrative access can reduce the risk of privilege escalation. Organizations should engage with the vendor to obtain patches or updates as soon as they become available and apply them promptly. In the interim, disabling or restricting XML external entity processing in the API, if configurable, can mitigate exploitation. Additionally, deploying Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) with rules to detect and block XXE payloads can provide an additional layer of defense. Regular auditing of logs for suspicious activity and conducting penetration testing focused on XML injection vectors will help identify exploitation attempts early. Finally, educating users about credential security and monitoring for compromised accounts will reduce the risk posed by authenticated attackers.
