CVE-2025-7627 is a medium-severity vulnerability identified in the YiJiuSmile kkFileViewOfficeEdit product, specifically affecting the file upload functionality located at the /fileUpload endpoint. The vulnerability arises from improper validation or restriction of the File argument in the fileUpload function, allowing an attacker to perform unrestricted file uploads remotely without requiring user interaction or prior authentication. This means an attacker can upload arbitrary files, potentially including malicious scripts or executables, to the server hosting the application. Given that the product uses a rolling release model with continuous delivery, there are no fixed version numbers for affected or patched releases, complicating patch management. The CVSS 4.0 vector indicates network attack vector (AV:N), low attack complexity (AC:L), no privileges required (PR:L, which suggests some level of privileges is needed but low), no user interaction (UI:N), and partial impacts on confidentiality, integrity, and availability (VC:L, VI:L, VA:L). The exploit has been publicly disclosed but no known exploits are reported in the wild yet. The unrestricted upload vulnerability can lead to remote code execution, data compromise, or service disruption if exploited, depending on the server configuration and file handling mechanisms. The lack of authentication requirement and the ability to launch attacks remotely increase the risk profile. However, the medium severity rating reflects some mitigating factors such as the need for low privileges and limited impact scope. Organizations using kkFileViewOfficeEdit should be aware of this vulnerability and monitor for updates or patches from the vendor, as well as consider interim protective measures.

For European organizations, the unrestricted file upload vulnerability in kkFileViewOfficeEdit poses significant risks, especially for entities relying on this software for document management or office editing capabilities. Exploitation could lead to unauthorized deployment of malicious payloads, resulting in data breaches, defacement, ransomware deployment, or lateral movement within networks. Confidentiality could be compromised if sensitive documents are accessed or exfiltrated. Integrity and availability could be affected if attackers replace or delete files or disrupt service operations. The impact is heightened in sectors with stringent data protection regulations such as GDPR, where breaches can lead to heavy fines and reputational damage. Additionally, organizations in critical infrastructure, finance, healthcare, or government sectors may face operational disruptions or espionage attempts. The continuous delivery model of the product may delay patch application, increasing exposure time. Therefore, European organizations must assess their exposure, especially if kkFileViewOfficeEdit is integrated into their workflows or exposed to external networks.

1. Immediate mitigation should include restricting access to the /fileUpload endpoint via network controls such as firewalls or web application firewalls (WAFs) to limit exposure to trusted users or IP ranges. 2. Implement strict input validation and file type restrictions at the application or proxy level to prevent uploading of executable or script files. 3. Monitor logs for unusual upload activity or unexpected file types. 4. Employ runtime application self-protection (RASP) or endpoint detection and response (EDR) solutions to detect and block malicious behavior resulting from file uploads. 5. Isolate the application environment to minimize impact in case of compromise, using containerization or sandboxing techniques. 6. Regularly back up critical data and ensure backups are offline or immutable to recover from potential ransomware or data loss scenarios. 7. Engage with the vendor or community to track updates or patches, and plan for timely application of fixes once available. 8. Conduct security awareness training for administrators managing the system to recognize and respond to suspicious activities. 9. If feasible, consider alternative solutions or additional layers of security such as multi-factor authentication and network segmentation to reduce attack surface.
