Summary

CVE-2025-25759 is a high-severity Path Traversal (CWE-22) vulnerability in Sucms Project Sucms. Its CVSS base score is 7.5 (High).

Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Exploit Public-Facing Application (T1190); ranked in the top 26.3% of CVEs by exploit likelihood; it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog.

The strongest mitigations our analysis identified are NIST 800-53 SI-10 (Information Input Validation) and SI-2 (Flaw Remediation).

Threat & Defense at a Glance

What attackers do: exploitation maps to Exploit Public-Facing Application (T1190) and 2 other techniques. What defenders deploy: see the NIST 800-53 controls recommended below.

Threat & Defense Details

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5)AI

SI-10 Information Input Validation good match

prevent

Directly validates crafted GET request parameters in admin_template.php to block directory traversal and prevent arbitrary file deletion.

SI-2 Flaw Remediation good match

prevent

Identifies, reports, and corrects the path traversal flaw in SUCMS v1.0's admin_template.php, eliminating the vulnerability root cause.

SI-9 Information Input Restrictions partial match

prevent

Restricts types and characteristics of GET request inputs to exclude path traversal sequences like '../' targeting arbitrary file deletion.

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.

attack.mitre.org →

T1070.004 File Deletion Stealth

Adversaries may delete files left behind by the actions of their intrusion activity.

attack.mitre.org →

T1485 Data Destruction Impact

Adversaries may destroy data and files on specific systems or in large numbers on a network to interrupt availability to systems, services, and network resources.

Why these techniques?

Web-based path traversal enables remote exploitation of public-facing app (T1190) and direct arbitrary file deletion for indicator removal or data destruction (T1070.004, T1485).

NVD Description

An issue in the component admin_template.php of SUCMS v1.0 allows attackers to execute a directory traversal and arbitrary file deletion via a crafted GET request.

Deeper analysisAI

CVE-2025-25759 is a vulnerability in the admin_template.php component of SUCMS version 1.0. It enables directory traversal and arbitrary file deletion through a crafted GET request. The issue is linked to CWE-22 (path traversal) and CWE-552 (files or directories accessible to external parties), with a CVSS v3.1 base score of 7.5 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:N), indicating high severity due to its integrity impact.

Remote unauthenticated attackers can exploit this vulnerability over the network with low complexity and no user interaction required. Successful exploitation allows deletion of arbitrary files on the affected system, potentially disrupting operations by removing critical files without affecting confidentiality or availability directly.
