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: Changed: An exploited vulnerability can affect resources beyond the security scope managed by the security authority of the vulnerable component. In this case, the vulnerable component and the impacted component are different and managed by different security authorities.
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 20 Jan 2026
Detectable: no evidence on record.
No public nuclei template indexed

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

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 2026-10-25.

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. Apply vendor patches immediately once they become available for MedDream PACS Premium 7.3.6.870 to remediate the XSS vulnerability. 2. Until patches are released, implement web application firewall (WAF) rules to detect and block malicious payloads targeting the 'archivedir' parameter. 3. Enforce strict input validation and output encoding on all user-controllable inputs, especially URL parameters, to prevent script injection. 4. Conduct user awareness training focused on recognizing phishing attempts and suspicious URLs to reduce the risk of user interaction with malicious links. 5. Review and restrict access to the config.php functionality to trusted users and networks where possible. 6. Monitor web server logs for unusual requests containing suspicious scripts or payloads targeting the vulnerable parameter. 7. Employ Content Security Policy (CSP) headers to limit the execution of unauthorized scripts in the browser context. 8. Regularly audit and update all medical software components to ensure they are running supported and patched versions. 9. Coordinate with healthcare IT security teams to integrate vulnerability scanning and penetration testing focused on web application security.

Description

CVE-2025-58088 is a medium severity reflected cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in MedDream PACS Premium version 7.3.6.870, specifically in the config.php functionality affecting the 'archivedir' parameter. An attacker can craft malicious URLs that, when visited by a user, execute arbitrary JavaScript code in the victim’s browser. This vulnerability requires user interaction (clicking the malicious link) but does not require authentication. The vulnerability impacts confidentiality and integrity by potentially stealing session tokens or manipulating web content. No known exploits are currently reported in the wild. European healthcare organizations using this PACS software are at risk, especially in countries with significant deployments of MedDream PACS.

Impact

The primary impact of CVE-2025-58088 on European organizations lies in the potential compromise of sensitive medical data confidentiality and integrity. MedDream PACS Premium is used in healthcare environments to manage patient imaging data, which is highly sensitive and subject to strict data protection regulations such as GDPR. Exploitation could allow attackers to hijack user sessions, steal credentials, or manipulate displayed medical information, potentially leading to misdiagnosis or unauthorized data disclosure. The reflected XSS vulnerability could also be used as a vector for delivering further malware or phishing attacks targeting healthcare staff. Given the critical nature of healthcare services, any disruption or data breach could have severe consequences for patient safety and organizational reputation. The requirement for user interaction means social engineering is a likely exploitation method, increasing the risk in environments with less cybersecurity awareness. European healthcare providers with deployments of MedDream PACS Premium 7.3.6.870 are particularly at risk, and the vulnerability could also affect third-party integrations relying on this software. The medium severity score indicates a moderate but non-negligible risk that should be addressed promptly to avoid escalation.

Architecture and Design · Libraries or Frameworks
Use a vetted library or framework that does not allow this weakness to occur or provides constructs that make this weakness easier to avoid.
Implementation · Architecture and Design
Understand the context in which your data will be used and the encoding that will be expected. This is especially important when transmitting data between different components, or when generating outputs that can contain multiple encodings at the same time, such as web pages or multi-part mail messages.
