CVE-2025-60950 identifies a medium-severity arbitrary file upload vulnerability in the Data Preparation function of AIxBlock, a software component used for AI data workflows. The vulnerability arises from improper handling of SVG files, which are vector image files that can contain embedded scripts or malicious payloads. An attacker can craft a malicious SVG file that, when uploaded and processed by the vulnerable Data Preparation function, leads to arbitrary code execution on the host system. This attack vector requires no prior authentication but does require user interaction, such as uploading or processing the crafted file. The vulnerability is linked to CWE-79, indicating that the root cause is related to improper input neutralization, commonly associated with cross-site scripting or injection flaws. The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N) shows that the attack can be launched remotely over the network with low complexity, no privileges, but requires user interaction. The scope is changed, meaning the vulnerability can affect components beyond the initially vulnerable module. The impact affects confidentiality and integrity but not availability. No patches or known exploits are currently available, indicating that organizations should proactively prepare defenses. The lack of affected versions information suggests that the vulnerability may impact multiple or unspecified versions of AIxBlock. This vulnerability is significant because arbitrary code execution can lead to full system compromise if exploited successfully, especially in environments processing untrusted data inputs.

For European organizations, the impact of CVE-2025-60950 can be substantial, particularly for entities leveraging AIxBlock in their AI data processing pipelines. Successful exploitation could allow attackers to execute arbitrary code, potentially leading to unauthorized data access, data manipulation, or further lateral movement within networks. This threatens the confidentiality and integrity of sensitive data, including personal data protected under GDPR, intellectual property, and operational data. Sectors such as finance, healthcare, manufacturing, and critical infrastructure that rely on AI-driven analytics and data preparation are at higher risk. The requirement for user interaction somewhat limits mass exploitation but does not eliminate risk, especially in environments where users frequently upload or process external files. The absence of patches increases the window of exposure. Additionally, the cross-site scripting-related CWE suggests potential for web-based attack vectors, which could be exploited to target web applications integrated with AIxBlock. The medium severity rating indicates a moderate but actionable risk that should be addressed promptly to prevent escalation.

To mitigate CVE-2025-60950, organizations should implement the following specific measures: 1) Immediately restrict or disable SVG file uploads in AIxBlock's Data Preparation function until a patch is available. 2) Employ strict input validation and sanitization on all uploaded files, especially SVGs, to remove or neutralize embedded scripts or malicious content. 3) Use file type verification beyond file extensions, such as MIME type checks and content inspection, to prevent disguised malicious files. 4) Implement application-layer security controls like Content Security Policy (CSP) to limit script execution from uploaded files. 5) Monitor logs and network traffic for unusual file upload activities or execution attempts related to AIxBlock. 6) Educate users about the risks of uploading untrusted files and enforce policies to limit uploads to trusted sources. 7) Deploy endpoint protection and behavior-based detection to identify and block suspicious code execution. 8) Engage with AIxBlock vendors or maintainers to obtain timely patches or updates addressing this vulnerability. 9) Consider isolating AIxBlock processing environments to contain potential exploitation impact. 10) Regularly review and update incident response plans to include scenarios involving arbitrary code execution via file uploads.
