CVE-2024-25869
Codeastro Membership Management System 1.0
Raw vector
CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:HCVSS and EPSS are reproduced from their sources (NVD, FIRST EPSS). Risk Priority is our own derived reading, not an NVD score.
Summary
CVE-2024-25869 is a high-severity Unrestricted Upload of File with Dangerous Type (CWE-434) vulnerability in Codeastro Membership Management System. Its CVSS base score is 8.8 (High).
Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Exploit Public-Facing Application (T1190); ranked in the top 3% of CVEs by exploit likelihood; it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog; a public proof-of-concept is referenced.
The strongest mitigations our analysis identified map to SI-3 (Malicious Code Protection) and CM-7 (Least Functionality) — see the control section below for these in your framework.
Deeper analysis AI-assisted summary
Synthesised by an AI model from the NVD description and linked references — a reading aid, not an authoritative source.
CVE-2024-25869 is an unrestricted file upload vulnerability (CWE-434) affecting CodeAstro Membership Management System in PHP version 1.0. The flaw resides in the settings.php component and permits an authenticated user to upload a crafted PHP file without sufficient type or content validation, enabling arbitrary code execution on the server.
An attacker with low-privileged credentials can exploit the issue over the network by uploading a malicious PHP payload through the affected settings interface. Successful exploitation grants the attacker the ability to execute arbitrary code, potentially leading to full compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability as reflected in the CVSS 8.8 score.
Public disclosure is documented in GitHub repositories that include a technical write-up and proof-of-concept details. No vendor advisory or official patch information is referenced in the available sources.
The EPSS score has reached 0.5601 with no subsequent increase reported, indicating sustained but not accelerating exploitation interest since publication.

V5.1.1
Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI
Malicious-code protection at entry points blocks dangerous file types from being accepted and executed.
Least functionality restricts the file types and automatic processing capabilities the system will accept.
Mobile-code controls define, authorize, and block unacceptable uploaded code before automatic processing occurs.

Derived directly from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry via our AI-authored CWE→CSF cross-walk (authority under review) — links open the control.
Restricting execution of unauthorized software directly blocks dangerous uploaded files from running.
Hardened configuration baselines can enforce allowed file types and processing rules.
Secure development practices include input validation and file-type restrictions that prevent this weakness.

Configuration and acceptance testing verify that file-upload handling enforces allowed types and does not permit dangerous content to be stored or executed.
Secure-coding guidelines and security testing explicitly address restrictions on allowed file types and upload handling, reducing the risk that dangerous file uploads are accepted without validation.
Mandated testing for malicious content and known vulnerabilities reduces the likelihood that an outsourced component will contain or accept dangerous file types that could later be uploaded or executed.
Application allow-listing and pre-use scanning of received files directly blocks the introduction of executable content that has not been vetted, eliminating the primary vector for unrestricted dangerous file uploads.
