CVE-2025-6802 is a critical remote code execution vulnerability affecting Marvell's QConvergeConsole product, specifically version 5.5.0.78. The vulnerability arises from improper validation in the getFileFromURL method, which allows an unauthenticated remote attacker to upload arbitrary files without restriction. This is classified under CWE-434, indicating an unrestricted file upload of dangerous types. Because the uploaded files can be crafted to execute arbitrary code, the attacker can achieve SYSTEM-level privileges on the affected system. The vulnerability does not require any authentication or user interaction, making exploitation straightforward if the vulnerable service is exposed. The CVSS v3.0 score of 9.8 reflects the high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability, combined with the ease of exploitation over the network. While no public exploits are currently known, the severity and nature of the flaw make it a significant risk for any organization using the affected version of QConvergeConsole. The lack of patch links suggests that a fix may not yet be publicly available, increasing the urgency for mitigation.

For European organizations, this vulnerability poses a severe threat, particularly to those in sectors relying on Marvell's QConvergeConsole for network or storage management. Successful exploitation could lead to full system compromise, data breaches, disruption of critical services, and potential lateral movement within networks. Given the SYSTEM-level code execution, attackers could deploy ransomware, steal sensitive data, or disrupt operations. The unauthenticated nature of the exploit increases the risk of automated attacks and worm-like propagation if the vulnerable service is internet-facing or accessible from less secure network segments. This could impact industries such as telecommunications, data centers, and enterprises with Marvell-based infrastructure, potentially leading to significant operational and reputational damage. Additionally, regulatory implications under GDPR could arise if personal data confidentiality is compromised.

Immediate mitigation steps include restricting network access to the QConvergeConsole management interface, ideally limiting it to trusted internal networks and VPNs. Organizations should implement strict firewall rules and network segmentation to prevent unauthorized external access. Monitoring network traffic for unusual file upload attempts or unexpected connections to the getFileFromURL endpoint is advised. Since no patch is currently available, consider disabling or restricting the vulnerable functionality if possible. Employ application-layer gateways or web application firewalls (WAFs) to detect and block malicious file upload attempts targeting this vulnerability. Regularly review logs for signs of exploitation attempts. Once a patch is released by Marvell, prioritize prompt testing and deployment. Additionally, conduct thorough audits of affected systems to identify any signs of compromise and ensure backups are current and secure to enable recovery if needed.
