CVE-2025-60785 is a remote code execution (RCE) vulnerability identified in the Postgres Drivers component of iceScrum version 7.54 Pro On-premises. iceScrum is an agile project management tool used by software development teams to manage projects and workflows. The vulnerability arises from improper handling of crafted HTML content, which allows an attacker to execute arbitrary code on the host system running the vulnerable iceScrum instance. Specifically, the attack vector involves delivering a maliciously crafted HTML page that exploits the Postgres Drivers component, potentially bypassing input validation or sanitization mechanisms. This could lead to unauthorized code execution with the privileges of the iceScrum service, potentially escalating to full system compromise depending on the deployment environment and privilege levels. No CVSS score or official patch has been published yet, and there are no known exploits in the wild at this time. However, the vulnerability's nature suggests it could be exploited remotely without authentication, increasing its risk profile. The lack of detailed affected versions beyond the stated 7.54 Pro On-premises version limits precise scope determination, but organizations using this specific version should consider themselves at risk. The vulnerability highlights the importance of secure input handling in web-facing components, especially those interacting with database drivers and external content. Given the potential for arbitrary code execution, the impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability is significant.

For European organizations, the impact of CVE-2025-60785 could be severe. Successful exploitation would allow attackers to execute arbitrary code remotely, potentially leading to complete compromise of the affected iceScrum server and lateral movement within the network. This could result in theft or manipulation of sensitive project management data, disruption of development workflows, and exposure of intellectual property. Organizations relying on iceScrum for managing critical software projects, especially in sectors like finance, healthcare, and government, could face operational disruptions and reputational damage. The vulnerability's exploitation could also serve as a foothold for further attacks, including ransomware deployment or espionage. Given that iceScrum is often deployed on-premises, the risk is heightened if the affected systems are accessible from less secure network segments or exposed to the internet. The lack of a patch or mitigation guidance increases the urgency for organizations to implement compensating controls. Additionally, compliance with European data protection regulations (e.g., GDPR) could be jeopardized if personal or sensitive data is compromised due to this vulnerability.

1. Immediately restrict network access to the iceScrum Pro On-premises instance, limiting connections to trusted internal networks and VPNs only. 2. Implement strict input validation and content filtering at web application firewalls (WAFs) to detect and block malicious HTML payloads targeting the Postgres Drivers component. 3. Monitor logs and network traffic for unusual requests containing suspicious HTML or attempts to exploit the vulnerability. 4. Isolate the iceScrum server in a segmented network zone with minimal privileges to reduce potential lateral movement. 5. Regularly back up iceScrum data and system configurations to enable rapid recovery in case of compromise. 6. Engage with iceScrum vendor support or community channels to obtain patches or updates addressing this vulnerability as soon as they become available. 7. Conduct internal security assessments and penetration testing focused on the iceScrum deployment to identify and remediate related weaknesses. 8. Educate development and operations teams about the risks of processing untrusted HTML content and enforce secure coding practices for any custom integrations. 9. Consider deploying endpoint detection and response (EDR) solutions on servers hosting iceScrum to detect anomalous behavior indicative of exploitation attempts.
