CVE-2025-6873 is a vulnerability identified in SourceCodester Simple Company Website version 1.0, specifically involving an unrestricted file upload flaw. The vulnerability exists in the processing of the file /classes/Users.php with the parameter 'img' in the 'save' function. This flaw allows an attacker to upload arbitrary files without proper validation or restrictions. The vulnerability can be exploited remotely without user interaction or authentication, as indicated by the CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/UI:N/PR:H). However, the attack requires high privileges (PR:H), meaning the attacker must have some level of authenticated access with elevated rights to exploit the vulnerability. The impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability is low to limited (VC:L, VI:L, VA:L), suggesting that while the upload is unrestricted, the scope of damage is somewhat constrained. The CVSS 4.0 base score is 5.1, categorized as medium severity. The exploit has been publicly disclosed but there are no known exploits in the wild at this time. The vulnerability could allow an attacker to upload malicious files, potentially leading to remote code execution, defacement, or further compromise depending on the server configuration and file handling mechanisms. However, the requirement for high privileges reduces the ease of exploitation and limits the threat to attackers who have already gained some level of access. No patches or fixes are currently linked, indicating that organizations using this product version should prioritize mitigation or consider alternative controls. The vulnerability is critical in nature due to the unrestricted upload aspect but is rated medium severity because of the exploitation constraints and limited impact scope.

For European organizations using SourceCodester Simple Company Website 1.0, this vulnerability poses a moderate risk. If an attacker with elevated privileges exploits this flaw, they could upload malicious files that might lead to further compromise, data leakage, or service disruption. This could affect the confidentiality and integrity of sensitive company data and potentially disrupt business operations. Given that many small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in Europe use simple web solutions for their online presence, the risk is relevant especially for organizations that do not have robust internal access controls or monitoring. The vulnerability could also be leveraged as a foothold for lateral movement within the network. However, the requirement for high privileges means that initial access must be obtained through other means, which somewhat limits the immediate risk. The lack of known exploits in the wild reduces the urgency but does not eliminate the threat. Organizations in regulated sectors such as finance, healthcare, and critical infrastructure should be particularly cautious due to potential compliance and reputational impacts if exploited.

1. Implement strict access controls to ensure that only trusted, authenticated users with necessary privileges can access the vulnerable functionality. 2. Apply input validation and file type restrictions on the 'img' parameter to prevent uploading of executable or malicious files. 3. Employ web application firewalls (WAFs) with custom rules to detect and block suspicious file upload attempts targeting this endpoint. 4. Monitor logs for unusual file upload activities or attempts to access /classes/Users.php with the 'save' function. 5. Isolate the web server environment to limit the impact of any successful file upload, such as using containerization or sandboxing techniques. 6. Regularly audit user privileges to minimize the number of users with high-level access. 7. If possible, upgrade to a newer, patched version of the software or replace it with a more secure alternative. 8. Conduct penetration testing focusing on file upload mechanisms to identify and remediate similar vulnerabilities. 9. Educate administrators and developers about secure file handling practices to prevent recurrence.
