CVE-2025-57794: Explorance Blue Unrestricted File Upload Leading to Remote Code Execution
CVE-2025-57794 affects Explorance Blue versions prior to 8.14.9. An authenticated user of the administrative interface can upload files of dangerous types because the application does not adequately restrict them, and the record states this enables remote code execution under default configurations. The record rates it critical with a CVSS 3.1 base score of 9.1.
Overview
Explorance Blue versions prior to 8.14.9 contain an authenticated unrestricted file upload vulnerability in the administrative interface, classified as CWE-434 (Unrestricted Upload of File with Dangerous Type). The record states that the application does not adequately restrict uploaded file types, so malicious files can be uploaded and executed by the server.
Impact
- The record states the condition enables remote code execution under default configurations.
- The CVSS 3.1 base score is 9.1 (critical), with high impact on confidentiality, integrity and availability according to the vector.
- The vector sets required privileges to high, so an attacker needs an authenticated account with elevated access. This narrows who can exploit the flaw but does not remove the risk.
Affected products and versions
- Explorance Blue, versions below 8.14.9, as stated in the affected range and description.
- The record does not list additional builds, editions or deployment models. Check the vendor security advisory for product scope.
Exploitation status
- The record shows this CVE is not listed in the CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog.
- No confirmed exploitation appears in the sources consulted. No EPSS data is present in the record.
Remediation and mitigation
- Upgrade Explorance Blue to version 8.14.9 or later, the threshold stated in the record. The record's fixes field is empty, so confirm the fixed build in the vendor advisory.
- Limit access to the administrative interface to trusted networks and accounts, and review which users hold administrative privileges.
- Apply least privilege to the application's file storage and execution context so uploaded content cannot run with more rights than necessary.
Detection guidance
- Review administrative interface logs for unexpected file uploads, especially files with unusual or executable extensions.
- Monitor upload directories for new or modified files that are reachable from the web and for unexpected child processes started by the application server.
- Audit administrative account activity for logins or actions that do not match normal operations.
Limitations of the available information
- The record does not provide explicit fixed-version details beyond the 8.14.9 threshold, the vulnerable endpoint, the file validation logic, or proof of exploitation.
- The referenced vendor and Mandiant disclosure content was not included in the record, so statements here rely on the record's summary and CVSS data.
- Exploitability beyond the vector is unknown because EPSS and SSVC data are absent.
