Executive Summary
CVE-2025-9942 is a medium-severity vulnerability affecting CodeAstro Real Estate Management System v1.0, residing in the /submitproperty.php script. It permits unauthenticated, unrestricted file uploads, which can lead to arbitrary file execution, server compromise, or remote code execution. Proof-of-concept exploits are already public—making immediate mitigation essential.
1. Vulnerability Overview
- Affected Component:
submitproperty.php– lacks sufficient file type validation. - Vulnerability Type:
- CWE-434: Unrestricted File Upload with Dangerous Type
- CWE-284: Improper Access Control NVDCVE Details
- Attack Vector: Remote and network-accessible, with low complexity and no user interaction required (depending on configuration).
2. Impact & Scope
- Unauthenticated Remote Exploitation possible through arbitrary file uploads (e.g. webshells).
- Centralized application in real estate environments makes it inherently risky.
- Exploit Availability: Public proof-of-concept released—heightened risk SecurityVulnerability.ioCVEFeed
- Common Attack Patterns: CAPEC-1 (ACL bypass), web shell insertion, lateral weapon movement.
3. Detection & Exploit Trends
- Exploit Likely: Upload of
.php,.jsp, or scripting files to invoke server execution. - Indicators of Compromise:
- Unofficial files in property uploads directory.
- Suspicious HTTP methods (e.g. POST to
/submitproperty.php) containing malicious payloads. - Elevated 500 errors or file-type mismatches.
4. Remediation & Hardened Configuration
- Patch Immediately: Validate and sanitize file uploads in
/submitproperty.php. - Implement Controls:
- Restrict to specific MIME types/extensions.
- Employ file size quotas and content inspection.
- Rename, isolate, and store files outside web root.
- Add Security Protections:
- Filesystem integrity monitoring.
- Runtime filtering using WAF or reverse proxy rules.
- Application-layer access validation.
5. Risk Management & CyberDudeBivash Defense Strategy (CDB-WebDef)
- File Validation Pipeline – Always filter file types at name, MIME, and signature levels.
- Sandbox Landing – Place uploaded files in non-executable, segregated directories.
- WAF Rule Set – Block requests with suspicious patterns to
/submitproperty.php. - Monitoring & Alerting – Detect anomalies: file creation, large upload activity.
- Pen Test Red Teaming – Simulate upload attacks via Telnet, HTTP request scripts.
6. CISO & DevOps Executive Takeaways
- This upload flaw is high-risk, especially with public exploit already available.
- Implement immediate patches and mitigations to prevent remote exploitation.
- Adopt principles of secure coding and defense-in-depth for all user-facing features in your web stack.
