AI-suggested
Since no patches are available due to the product's end-of-life status, European organizations should immediately implement the following mitigations: 1) Disable or restrict the photo upload functionality entirely to prevent file uploads until a secure alternative is in place. 2) Implement strict web application firewall (WAF) rules to block HTTP requests attempting to upload files with executable extensions or suspicious payloads. 3) Isolate PAD CMS servers from critical internal networks to limit lateral movement if compromised. 4) Conduct thorough audits of existing uploaded files to detect and remove any malicious content. 5) Monitor server logs and network traffic for signs of exploitation attempts or unusual activity. 6) Plan and execute migration to a supported and actively maintained CMS platform with secure file upload controls. 7) Employ file integrity monitoring and endpoint detection and response (EDR) solutions on affected hosts. 8) Educate administrators about the risk and ensure strict access controls on the CMS backend. These steps will reduce the attack surface and limit potential damage while transitioning away from PAD CMS.
Description
CVE-2025-7065 is a critical vulnerability in the Polska Akademia Dostępności (PAD) CMS affecting all three templates (www, bip, ww+bip). It allows unauthenticated remote attackers to upload files of any type without restriction due to a client-controlled permission check parameter in the photo upload functionality. This unrestricted file upload can lead to remote code execution (RCE) on the affected server. The product is end-of-life, and no patches will be issued. The vulnerability has a CVSS 4.0 base score of 10.0, indicating maximum severity with no authentication or user interaction required. Although no known exploits are currently in the wild, the risk is extremely high due to the ease of exploitation and potential impact. European organizations using PAD CMS are at significant risk, especially those in Poland and countries with public sector deployments of this CMS. Immediate mitigation involves disabling the vulnerable upload functionality, isolating affected systems, and migrating to alternative supported platforms.
