CVE-2025-60092 is a medium-severity vulnerability classified under CWE-497, which pertains to the Exposure of Sensitive System Information to an Unauthorized Control Sphere. This vulnerability affects the Shahjada Download Manager, specifically versions up to 3.3.24. The issue allows an attacker to retrieve embedded sensitive data from the application without requiring any authentication or user interaction. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 5.3, indicating a moderate risk level. The attack vector is network-based (AV:N), with low attack complexity (AC:L), no privileges required (PR:N), and no user interaction needed (UI:N). The scope is unchanged (S:U), and the impact is limited to confidentiality (C:L) without affecting integrity or availability. Essentially, an attacker can remotely access sensitive information embedded within the download manager, which could include configuration details, credentials, or other confidential data that should not be exposed. Although no known exploits are currently reported in the wild, the vulnerability's nature means it could be leveraged for reconnaissance or as a stepping stone for further attacks. The lack of a patch link suggests that a fix may not yet be available, emphasizing the need for mitigation through configuration or network controls until an official update is released.

For European organizations, the exposure of sensitive system information can lead to increased risk of targeted attacks, including credential theft, lateral movement, or data leakage. Since the vulnerability does not require authentication or user interaction, it can be exploited remotely, potentially by threat actors scanning for vulnerable Shahjada Download Manager instances. This could be particularly impactful for organizations using this software in critical infrastructure, government, or sectors handling sensitive data such as finance or healthcare. The confidentiality breach could undermine trust, lead to regulatory non-compliance under GDPR if personal data is indirectly exposed, and increase the attack surface for subsequent intrusions. However, as the vulnerability does not affect integrity or availability, direct disruption of services or data manipulation is less likely. The medium severity score reflects a moderate but non-negligible threat that should be addressed promptly to prevent escalation.

1. Immediate mitigation should include restricting network access to the Shahjada Download Manager instances, limiting exposure to trusted internal networks or VPNs only. 2. Employ network-level monitoring and intrusion detection systems to identify unusual access patterns or data exfiltration attempts targeting the download manager. 3. Review and harden configuration settings of the software to disable any unnecessary features that might expose sensitive data. 4. If possible, temporarily discontinue use of the affected versions or replace the software with alternative download managers that do not have this vulnerability. 5. Maintain up-to-date asset inventories to quickly identify all instances of Shahjada Download Manager in the environment. 6. Monitor vendor communications closely for patches or updates addressing CVE-2025-60092 and apply them promptly once available. 7. Conduct internal audits to assess what sensitive information might be embedded or exposed by the software and minimize such data exposure. 8. Educate IT and security teams about this vulnerability to ensure rapid detection and response to any exploitation attempts.
