CVE-2025-52168 is a security vulnerability identified in the dynawebservice component of Agorum Software GmbH's Agorum core open versions 11.9.2 and 11.10.1. The vulnerability arises from incorrect access control mechanisms within this component, which allows unauthenticated attackers to access arbitrary files on the affected system. This means that an attacker does not need valid credentials or prior authentication to exploit the flaw. By leveraging this vulnerability, an attacker could potentially read sensitive files stored on the server, including configuration files, source code, credentials, or other critical data. The vulnerability is rooted in improper enforcement of access restrictions, likely due to flawed validation or authorization logic in the dynawebservice module. Since arbitrary file access is possible, the confidentiality of the system and its data is severely compromised. Although no known exploits have been reported in the wild yet, the nature of the vulnerability makes it a significant risk, especially if weaponized by attackers. The lack of a CVSS score indicates that the vulnerability is newly published and has not yet been fully assessed or scored by standard frameworks. The affected versions are specifically 11.9.2 and 11.10.1 of Agorum core open, which are used for document and content management solutions. The absence of patch links suggests that a fix may not yet be publicly available, increasing the urgency for affected organizations to implement interim mitigations or monitor for updates. Overall, this vulnerability represents a critical security flaw in access control that could lead to data breaches and unauthorized information disclosure.

For European organizations using Agorum core open versions 11.9.2 or 11.10.1, this vulnerability poses a significant risk to the confidentiality and integrity of sensitive business data. Agorum core is often deployed in enterprise environments for document management, collaboration, and workflow automation, meaning that exploited arbitrary file access could expose intellectual property, personal data protected under GDPR, financial records, or internal communications. Unauthorized file access could also facilitate further attacks, such as privilege escalation or lateral movement within the network. The breach of confidentiality could lead to regulatory penalties under GDPR, reputational damage, and operational disruptions. Since the vulnerability allows unauthenticated access, attackers can exploit it remotely without needing to compromise user accounts, increasing the attack surface. The lack of known exploits in the wild currently reduces immediate risk but does not eliminate the potential for future exploitation. European organizations with high compliance requirements and sensitive data stored in Agorum core systems should consider this vulnerability a critical threat requiring prompt attention.

Given the absence of an official patch at this time, European organizations should take immediate steps to mitigate risk: 1) Restrict network access to the dynawebservice component by implementing firewall rules or network segmentation to limit exposure only to trusted internal IP addresses. 2) Monitor logs and network traffic for unusual or unauthorized access attempts targeting the dynawebservice endpoints. 3) Apply strict file system permissions on the server hosting Agorum core to minimize the impact of arbitrary file reads, ensuring sensitive files are not accessible by the application user running the service. 4) Temporarily disable or restrict the dynawebservice component if feasible until a patch is released. 5) Engage with Agorum Software GmbH for updates on patches or security advisories and plan for immediate deployment once available. 6) Conduct internal audits to identify sensitive files that could be exposed and implement encryption or additional access controls on those files. 7) Educate IT and security teams about this vulnerability to increase awareness and readiness for incident response. These targeted mitigations go beyond generic advice by focusing on access restriction, monitoring, and minimizing the attack surface specific to the vulnerable component.
