CVE-2025-69047 is a Remote File Inclusion (RFI) vulnerability found in magentech MaxShop versions up to and including 3.6.20. The root cause is improper control of the filename parameter used in PHP include or require statements, which allows an attacker to supply a malicious remote file path. When the vulnerable application processes this input, it includes and executes the attacker's remote PHP code on the server. This leads to full compromise of the web server, enabling arbitrary code execution, data theft, defacement, or denial of service. The vulnerability does not require authentication or user interaction, and can be exploited remotely over the network. The CVSS 3.1 base score of 8.1 reflects high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability, with network attack vector and high attack complexity. Although no public exploits are currently known, the flaw is critical due to the potential for complete system takeover. MaxShop is an e-commerce platform used by various online retailers, making this vulnerability particularly dangerous for organizations relying on it for online sales and customer data management. The lack of available patches at the time of publication increases the urgency for alternative mitigations.

For European organizations using magentech MaxShop, this vulnerability poses a significant risk to the confidentiality of customer data, including personal and payment information, as well as the integrity and availability of their e-commerce platforms. Successful exploitation can lead to unauthorized access, data breaches, website defacement, and service outages, damaging brand reputation and causing financial losses. Given the critical role of e-commerce in Europe's digital economy, disruption or compromise of these platforms can have cascading effects on supply chains and customer trust. Regulatory implications under GDPR also increase the impact, as data breaches must be reported and can result in heavy fines. The remote and unauthenticated nature of the exploit means attackers can operate at scale and without prior access, increasing the threat landscape for European businesses.

1. Immediately update magentech MaxShop to a patched version once available from the vendor. 2. Until a patch is released, implement strict input validation and sanitization on all parameters used in include/require statements to prevent injection of remote file paths. 3. Disable allow_url_include and allow_url_fopen directives in PHP configuration to prevent remote file inclusion. 4. Employ Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) with rules to detect and block suspicious include/require parameter usage. 5. Conduct thorough code audits to identify and remediate any other unsafe file inclusion practices. 6. Monitor web server logs for unusual requests targeting include parameters. 7. Restrict file permissions on the server to limit the impact of any successful code execution. 8. Educate development teams on secure coding practices related to file inclusion. 9. Prepare incident response plans to quickly contain and remediate any exploitation attempts.
