CVE-2025-67527 is a vulnerability classified as Improper Control of Filename for Include/Require Statement in PHP programs, specifically affecting the trippleS Digiqole product. This vulnerability allows an attacker to perform Remote File Inclusion (RFI) or Local File Inclusion (LFI) by manipulating the filename parameter used in PHP include or require statements without proper validation or sanitization. The affected versions are all prior to 2.2.7. Remote File Inclusion vulnerabilities enable attackers to include and execute arbitrary code hosted on a remote server, leading to remote code execution, full system compromise, data theft, or defacement. Local File Inclusion can allow attackers to read sensitive files on the server, such as configuration files or password stores, potentially escalating privileges or facilitating further attacks. The vulnerability stems from insufficient input validation on user-supplied data that controls file inclusion paths. Although no known exploits are currently reported in the wild, the nature of PHP RFI/LFI vulnerabilities makes them attractive targets for attackers due to their high impact and relatively straightforward exploitation. Digiqole is a digital publishing platform used by various organizations to manage content, making it a valuable target for attackers seeking to disrupt services or steal information. The lack of a CVSS score indicates that the vulnerability is newly published, but the technical characteristics suggest a high risk. The vulnerability was publicly disclosed on December 9, 2025, and users are advised to upgrade to version 2.2.7 or later where the issue is fixed.

For European organizations, the impact of CVE-2025-67527 can be severe. Successful exploitation could lead to remote code execution, allowing attackers to take full control of affected web servers running Digiqole. This compromises the confidentiality of sensitive data, including user information and proprietary content, and threatens the integrity of published materials by enabling unauthorized modifications. Availability may also be affected if attackers deploy ransomware or disrupt services. Organizations in sectors such as media, publishing, education, and government that rely on Digiqole for content management are particularly at risk. The breach could result in reputational damage, regulatory penalties under GDPR due to data exposure, and operational downtime. The absence of known exploits currently provides a window for proactive mitigation, but the ease of exploitation inherent in RFI vulnerabilities means rapid patching is critical to prevent attacks. Additionally, attackers could leverage this vulnerability as a foothold for lateral movement within networks, increasing the overall risk posture for European entities.

To mitigate CVE-2025-67527, organizations should immediately upgrade Digiqole to version 2.2.7 or later, where the vulnerability has been addressed. In parallel, implement strict input validation and sanitization on all user-supplied parameters that influence file inclusion paths to prevent injection of malicious filenames. Employ web application firewalls (WAFs) with rules designed to detect and block attempts at remote or local file inclusion attacks. Conduct thorough code reviews and security testing to identify any residual unsafe file inclusion patterns. Limit the permissions of the web server process to restrict access to sensitive files and directories, minimizing the impact of potential exploitation. Monitor web server logs and intrusion detection systems for suspicious activity indicative of exploitation attempts. Finally, maintain an up-to-date inventory of Digiqole deployments and ensure all instances are patched promptly to reduce exposure.
