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: Low: The attacker requires privileges that provide basic capabilities that are typically limited to settings and resources owned by a single low-privileged user. Alternatively, an attacker with Low privileges has the ability to access only non-sensitive resources.
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: Low: Modification of data is possible, but the attacker does not have control over the consequence of a modification, or the amount of modification is limited. The data modification does not have a direct, serious impact to the Vulnerable System.
Vulnerable system availability: Low: Performance is reduced or there are interruptions in resource availability. Even if repeated exploitation of the vulnerability is possible, the attacker does not have the ability to completely deny service to legitimate users. The resources in the Vulnerable System are either partially available all of the time, or fully available only some of the time, but overall there is no direct, serious consequence to 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

A missing step is not evidence of safety. Sources: cve.org (opens in a new tab), the Metasploit, Exploit-DB and nuclei-templates index as of 2026-10-25.

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 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 official patches, European organizations should implement immediate compensating controls. First, restrict access to the /admin/users_photo.php endpoint strictly to trusted administrators via network segmentation, VPNs, or IP whitelisting. Implement strict input validation and file type restrictions at the web server or application firewall level to block unauthorized file uploads, especially executable or script files. Deploy web application firewalls (WAFs) with custom rules to detect and block suspicious upload attempts targeting the photo parameter. Conduct thorough audits of user privileges to ensure the principle of least privilege is enforced, minimizing the risk that low-privilege users can exploit the vulnerability. Monitor server logs and file system changes for unusual activity indicative of exploitation attempts. If possible, disable the photo upload functionality temporarily until a patch is released. Additionally, organizations should prepare incident response plans to quickly contain and remediate any exploitation. Finally, maintain up-to-date backups of critical data and systems to enable recovery in case of compromise.

Description

A vulnerability was found in code-projects E-Commerce Site 1.0. It has been classified as critical. Affected is an unknown function of the file /admin/users_photo.php. The manipulation of the argument photo leads to unrestricted upload. It is possible to launch the attack remotely. The exploit has been disclosed to the public and may be used.

Impact

For European organizations using the affected code-projects E-Commerce Site version 1.0, this vulnerability could lead to severe consequences. Successful exploitation could allow attackers to upload malicious files, such as web shells or ransomware payloads, leading to unauthorized access, data breaches, or service disruptions. This is particularly critical for e-commerce platforms handling sensitive customer data, including payment information and personal details, which are subject to strict data protection regulations such as GDPR. A breach could result in significant financial losses, reputational damage, and regulatory penalties. Additionally, compromised servers could be leveraged as pivot points for broader network intrusions or used to distribute malware to customers or partners. The medium CVSS score may underestimate the real-world impact if attackers manage to escalate privileges post-upload. The lack of available patches means organizations must act quickly to mitigate risks. The vulnerability's presence in an administrative file suggests that attackers with some level of access or compromised credentials could exploit it more easily, emphasizing the need for strong access controls and monitoring.

Summary

CVE-2025-7175 is a vulnerability identified in version 1.0 of the code-projects E-Commerce Site, specifically within the /admin/users_photo.php file. The vulnerability arises from an unrestricted file upload flaw related to the 'photo' parameter. This flaw allows an attacker to upload arbitrary files to the server without proper validation or restrictions. Since the vulnerability can be exploited remotely and does not require user interaction or authentication, it presents a significant risk. The unrestricted upload could enable attackers to upload malicious scripts or web shells, potentially leading to remote code execution, server compromise, data theft, or further lateral movement within the affected environment. The CVSS 4.0 score is 5.3, indicating a medium severity level, reflecting that while the attack vector is network-based and requires low attack complexity, it does require some privileges (PR:L) which suggests that some level of access or authentication might be necessary. However, the vulnerability still poses a serious risk due to the potential impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the system. No patches or mitigations have been officially published yet, and although no known exploits are currently reported in the wild, the public disclosure of the exploit code increases the likelihood of exploitation attempts.
