CVE-2025-69618 is a security vulnerability identified in Tarot, Astro & Healing software version 11.4.0, specifically within its file import process. The flaw permits an attacker to perform arbitrary file overwrite operations, meaning they can replace or modify critical internal files on the system where the software is installed. This can lead to severe consequences such as arbitrary code execution, where malicious code can run with the privileges of the application, or exposure of sensitive information stored within or accessible by the application. The vulnerability arises due to insufficient validation or sanitization of file paths or names during the import process, allowing crafted inputs to overwrite files outside the intended scope. Although no CVSS score has been assigned yet and no exploits have been observed in the wild, the nature of the vulnerability suggests it could be exploited remotely if the file import feature is exposed to attackers, potentially without requiring authentication. The lack of patch links indicates that a fix may not yet be publicly available, emphasizing the need for proactive mitigation. This vulnerability affects the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the affected systems and could be leveraged for further network compromise or data theft.

For European organizations using Tarot, Astro & Healing v11.4.0, this vulnerability poses significant risks. The arbitrary file overwrite can lead to unauthorized modification or replacement of critical application or system files, potentially resulting in arbitrary code execution. This can compromise the confidentiality of sensitive user data, including personal or health-related information, which is particularly sensitive under GDPR regulations. Integrity of the systems is at risk as attackers could alter application behavior or inject malicious payloads. Availability could also be impacted if critical files are overwritten, causing application crashes or denial of service. Organizations in sectors such as wellness, astrology, or alternative health services that rely on this software may face operational disruptions and reputational damage. Additionally, regulatory compliance issues could arise from data breaches. The absence of known exploits suggests a window for mitigation before widespread attacks occur, but the potential impact warrants urgent attention.

1. Monitor vendor communications closely for official patches or updates addressing CVE-2025-69618 and apply them promptly once available. 2. Restrict access to the file import functionality to trusted users only, ideally behind strong authentication and network segmentation. 3. Implement strict input validation and sanitization on file names and paths used in the import process to prevent path traversal or overwrite attacks. 4. Enforce least privilege file system permissions, ensuring the application process cannot overwrite critical system or application files outside its designated directories. 5. Conduct regular integrity checks on critical files to detect unauthorized modifications early. 6. Use application-layer firewalls or intrusion detection systems to monitor and block suspicious file import activities. 7. Educate users and administrators about the risks of importing files from untrusted sources. 8. If feasible, temporarily disable the file import feature until a patch is available or additional controls are implemented. 9. Maintain comprehensive backups of critical data and system states to enable recovery in case of compromise.
