Threat metrics

Exploit Maturity: POC

Bold values are the worst case: easiest to exploit or largest impact.

Attack Vector: Network: The vulnerable system is bound to the network stack and the set of possible attackers extends beyond the other options listed below, up to and including the entire Internet. Such a vulnerability is often termed “remotely exploitable” and can be thought of as an attack being exploitable at the protocol level one or more network hops away (e.g., across one or more routers).
Attack Complexity: Low: The attacker must take no measurable action to exploit the vulnerability. The attack requires no target-specific circumvention to exploit the vulnerability. An attacker can expect repeatable success against the vulnerable system.
Attack Requirements: None: The successful attack does not depend on the deployment and execution conditions of the vulnerable system. The attacker can expect to be able to reach the vulnerability and execute the exploit under all or most instances of the vulnerability.
Privileges Required: None: The attacker is unauthorized prior to attack, and therefore does not require any access to settings or files of the vulnerable system to carry out an attack.
User Interaction: None: The vulnerable system can be exploited without interaction from any human user, other than the attacker.
Vulnerable system confidentiality: Low: There is some loss of confidentiality. Access to some restricted information is obtained, but the attacker does not have control over what information is obtained, or the amount or kind of loss is limited. The information disclosure does not cause a direct, serious loss to the Vulnerable System.
Vulnerable system integrity: None: There is no loss of integrity within the Vulnerable System.
Vulnerable system availability: None: There is no impact to availability within the Vulnerable System.
Subsequent system confidentiality: None: There is no loss of confidentiality within the Subsequent System or all confidentiality impact is constrained to the Vulnerable System.
Subsequent system integrity: None: There is no loss of integrity within the Subsequent System or all integrity impact is constrained to the Vulnerable System.
Subsequent system availability: None: There is no impact to availability within the Subsequent System or all availability impact is constrained to the Vulnerable System.
Exploit Maturity: POC: Based on threat intelligence sources each of the following must apply: · Proof-of-concept is publicly available · No knowledge of reported attempts to exploit this vulnerability · No knowledge of publicly available solutions used to simplify attempts to exploit the vulnerability

Exploitation evidence

Disclosed: evidence found.
CVE published 30 Jun 2025
Detectable: no evidence on record.
No public nuclei template indexed
Weaponised: evidence found.
CVSS exploit maturity: proof of concept public
Exploited in the wildExploited: no evidence on record.
Not in CISA KEV and no source reports exploitation
Observed by OffSeq MirageSeen by Mirage: no evidence on record.
No attack traffic recorded by OffSeq Mirage sensors

A missing step is not evidence of safety. Sources: cve.org (opens in a new tab), CVSS vector, the Metasploit, Exploit-DB and nuclei-templates index as of 26 Oct 2026.

Disclosed: The CVE record is public on cve.org. Its publication is t = 0.
Detectable: A public nuclei template can find exposed instances, for defenders and attackers alike.
Weaponised: Public exploit code exists in Metasploit or Exploit-DB, or CISA SSVC or the CVSS exploit maturity reports a public proof of concept.
Exploited in the wild: CISA KEV lists it, CISA SSVC rates exploitation active, or a source reports attacks.
Observed by OffSeq Mirage: OffSeq Mirage honeypot sensors recorded attack traffic for this CVE, or found exposed hosts without attack traffic.

Moments are spaced evenly, not to scale; a dashed line marks a gap of six months or more. Deltas count from t = 0. Sources that give only a date (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, or a time of exactly 00:00Z) read “same day” rather than hours. Metasploit modules carry the flaw’s disclosure date, not their release date, and nuclei templates carry no date, so both appear above but not on the timeline.

AI-suggested

Given the absence of an official patch, European organizations should implement immediate compensating controls. First, restrict network access to the vulnerable Mail Handler endpoint by applying strict firewall rules or network segmentation to limit exposure to trusted internal networks only. Second, implement web application firewalls (WAFs) with custom rules to detect and block path traversal patterns in the 'filePath' parameter. Third, conduct thorough code reviews and apply input validation and sanitization on the 'filePath' parameter to prevent directory traversal sequences (e.g., '..', '%2e%2e'). Fourth, monitor server logs for suspicious access patterns indicative of path traversal attempts and establish alerting mechanisms. Fifth, consider temporarily disabling or removing the vulnerable Mail Handler functionality if feasible. Finally, maintain an active threat intelligence watch for vendor updates or community patches and plan for prompt application once available. Organizations should also conduct internal audits to identify all instances of RuoYi-Vue-Plus 5.4.0 deployments and prioritize remediation accordingly.

Description

A vulnerability has been found in Dromara RuoYi-Vue-Plus 5.4.0 and classified as critical. Affected by this vulnerability is an unknown functionality of the file /src/main/java/org/dromara/demo/controller/MailController.java of the component Mail Handler. The manipulation of the argument filePath leads to path traversal. The attack can be launched remotely. The exploit has been disclosed to the public and may be used. The vendor was contacted early about this disclosure but did not respond in any way.

Impact

For European organizations, the exploitation of CVE-2025-6925 could lead to unauthorized disclosure of sensitive information such as configuration files, credentials, or internal documents stored on servers running the vulnerable RuoYi-Vue-Plus 5.4.0 framework. This could facilitate further attacks like privilege escalation, lateral movement, or data exfiltration. Organizations in sectors with strict data protection regulations (e.g., GDPR) could face compliance violations and reputational damage if sensitive personal or corporate data is exposed. The remote and unauthenticated nature of the exploit increases the risk of widespread attacks, especially in environments where the framework is exposed to the internet. Additionally, the absence of vendor response and patches means organizations must rely on internal mitigations, increasing operational burden. The impact is magnified in industries such as finance, healthcare, and government, where data confidentiality is paramount. Furthermore, the public availability of exploit code raises the likelihood of opportunistic attacks targeting European entities using this software.
