CVE-2025-50125 is a Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) vulnerability classified under CWE-918, affecting Schneider Electric's EcoStruxure IT Data Center Expert product, specifically versions 8.3 and prior. SSRF vulnerabilities occur when an attacker can manipulate a server to make unintended requests to internal or external resources. In this case, the vulnerability allows unauthenticated remote code execution by exploiting hidden URLs and manipulating the host request header. This means an attacker with network access and knowledge of certain hidden endpoints can craft requests that cause the server to perform unauthorized actions, potentially executing arbitrary code remotely without needing valid credentials or user interaction. The CVSS 4.0 base score is 6.3 (medium severity), reflecting that the attack vector is network-based with low attack complexity and no privileges or user interaction required. However, the impact on confidentiality and integrity is low to limited, and availability is not affected. The vulnerability does not have known exploits in the wild yet, but the potential for remote code execution makes it a significant concern. The lack of published patches at this time increases the urgency for organizations to implement compensating controls. Given the product’s role in data center management, exploitation could lead to unauthorized access to critical infrastructure management functions, potentially disrupting monitoring and control of data center environments.

For European organizations, the impact of this SSRF vulnerability can be substantial, especially for those relying on Schneider Electric's EcoStruxure IT Data Center Expert for managing critical data center infrastructure. Successful exploitation could allow attackers to execute arbitrary code remotely, leading to unauthorized access to sensitive operational data, manipulation of data center controls, or disruption of monitoring services. This could result in operational downtime, data integrity issues, and potential cascading effects on business-critical applications hosted in affected data centers. Given the increasing reliance on digital infrastructure and the critical nature of data centers in sectors such as finance, healthcare, manufacturing, and government, the vulnerability poses a risk to confidentiality and integrity of sensitive information and operational continuity. Moreover, the unauthenticated nature of the exploit increases the threat surface, as attackers do not need valid credentials. Although no active exploits are reported yet, the medium severity rating and potential for remote code execution warrant immediate attention to prevent future attacks.

Since no patches are currently available, European organizations should implement the following practical mitigations: 1) Restrict network access to the EcoStruxure IT Data Center Expert management interfaces by enforcing strict firewall rules and network segmentation, limiting access only to trusted administrative networks and IP addresses. 2) Monitor and log all incoming requests to detect unusual patterns, especially requests targeting hidden URLs or with manipulated host headers, enabling early detection of exploitation attempts. 3) Employ web application firewalls (WAFs) with custom rules to block suspicious SSRF attack vectors, such as requests with unexpected host headers or internal IP address references. 4) Conduct internal vulnerability assessments and penetration tests focusing on SSRF vectors to identify and remediate exposure. 5) Engage with Schneider Electric support to obtain updates on patch availability and apply them promptly once released. 6) Implement strict input validation and sanitization on any exposed interfaces if customization is possible. 7) Prepare incident response plans specific to SSRF exploitation scenarios to minimize impact in case of successful attacks.
