CVE-2025-7898 is a vulnerability identified in Codecanyon's iDentSoft version 2.0, specifically within the Account Setting Page component at the endpoint /clinica/profile/updateSetting. The vulnerability arises from improper validation of the 'photo' argument, which allows an attacker to perform an unrestricted file upload. This means that an attacker can remotely upload arbitrary files, potentially including malicious scripts or executables, without proper authentication or user interaction. The vulnerability is remotely exploitable and does not require user interaction, but it does require high privileges (PR:H) according to the CVSS vector, indicating that the attacker must have some level of authenticated access. The CVSS 4.0 base score is 5.1, categorized as medium severity, reflecting limited confidentiality, integrity, and availability impacts due to the requirement of privileges and limited scope. However, unrestricted file upload vulnerabilities are often critical because they can lead to remote code execution, web shell deployment, or further compromise if exploited effectively. The vulnerability affects only version 2.0 of iDentSoft, a software product available on Codecanyon, which is typically used for identity or clinic management solutions. No patches or mitigations have been officially published yet, and no known exploits are currently observed in the wild. The vulnerability disclosure is recent (published July 2025), and the exploit details have been made public, increasing the risk of exploitation by attackers.

For European organizations using iDentSoft 2.0, this vulnerability poses a significant risk, especially for healthcare providers or clinics managing sensitive patient data. Successful exploitation could allow attackers to upload malicious files, potentially leading to unauthorized access, data theft, defacement, or ransomware deployment. Given the healthcare context, breaches could violate GDPR regulations, resulting in legal penalties and reputational damage. The requirement for high privileges limits the attack surface to insiders or compromised accounts, but the remote exploitability means attackers could leverage social engineering or credential theft to escalate attacks. The medium CVSS score may underestimate the real-world impact if attackers chain this vulnerability with others to achieve full system compromise. European healthcare organizations are particularly sensitive due to strict data protection laws and the critical nature of healthcare services, making timely remediation essential to avoid service disruption and data breaches.

1. Immediate mitigation should include restricting file upload functionality by implementing strict server-side validation of file types, sizes, and content to prevent malicious files from being accepted. 2. Employ allowlists for permitted file extensions and use content inspection techniques such as MIME type verification and antivirus scanning on uploaded files. 3. Implement strong authentication and authorization controls to ensure only legitimate users with appropriate privileges can access the upload functionality. 4. Monitor logs and network traffic for unusual upload activity or attempts to upload executable files. 5. Isolate the upload directory from execution privileges to prevent uploaded files from being executed as code (e.g., store uploads outside the web root or disable script execution in upload directories). 6. Apply web application firewalls (WAFs) with rules targeting file upload abuse. 7. Since no official patch is currently available, organizations should engage with the vendor or community for updates and consider temporary disabling or restricting the vulnerable endpoint if feasible. 8. Conduct regular security audits and penetration testing focused on file upload mechanisms to detect similar vulnerabilities proactively.
