Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Exploit Public-Facing Application (T1190); ranked in the top 32.1% 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 are NIST 800-53 SC-14 (Public Access Protections) and SI-10 (Information Input Validation).

Deeper analysis

CVE-2025-25652 is a directory traversal vulnerability (CWE-22) in Eptura Archibus version 2024.03.01.109. The affected components are the "Run script" and "Server File" features within the "Database Update Wizard." This flaw has a CVSS v3.1 base score of 7.5 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N), highlighting its high severity due to significant confidentiality impact.

An unauthenticated attacker with network access can exploit the vulnerability with low attack complexity and no user interaction. Exploitation enables directory traversal, allowing remote reading of arbitrary files on the server and potential exposure of sensitive data.

MITRE ATT&CK Enterprise TechniquesAI

T1190 Exploit Public-Facing Application Initial Access
Adversaries may attempt to exploit a weakness in an Internet-facing host or system to initially access a network.

T1005 Data from Local System Collection
Adversaries may search local system sources, such as file systems, configuration files, local databases, virtual machine files, or process memory, to find files of interest and sensitive data prior to Exfiltration.

Why these techniques?

Directory traversal in public-facing web app directly enables remote exploitation (T1190) and arbitrary local file reads (T1005).
