CVE-2025-25784 is an arbitrary file upload vulnerability affecting the TemplateController.php component in Jizhicms version 2.5.4. Published on 2025-02-26, the flaw enables attackers to execute arbitrary code by uploading a specially crafted Zip file, as classified under CWE-434 (Unrestricted Upload of File with Dangerous Type). The vulnerability carries a CVSS v3.1 base score of 9.8, reflecting its critical severity.

Remote attackers require no privileges, authentication, or user interaction to exploit this issue over the network with low complexity. Successful exploitation allows full compromise of the affected system, providing high-impact access to confidentiality, integrity, and availability through arbitrary code execution.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

SI-3 Malicious Code Protection good match

Malicious-code protection at entry points blocks dangerous file types from being accepted and executed.

CM-7 Least Functionality partial match

Least functionality restricts the file types and automatic processing capabilities the system will accept.

SC-18 Mobile Code partial match

Mobile-code controls define, authorize, and block unacceptable uploaded code before automatic processing occurs.

PR.PS-05 mostly match
prevents

Restricting execution of unauthorized software directly blocks dangerous uploaded files from running.

PR.PS-01 partial match
prevents

Hardened configuration baselines can enforce allowed file types and processing rules.

PR.PS-06 partial match
prevents

Secure development practices include input validation and file-type restrictions that prevent this weakness.

Derived directly from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry via our AI-authored CWE→ISO cross-walk (authority under review) — links open the control.

A.8.29 Security testing in development and acceptance mostly match
finds

Configuration and acceptance testing verify that file-upload handling enforces allowed types and does not permit dangerous content to be stored or executed.

A.8.25 Secure development life cycle partial match
prevents

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.

A.8.30 Outsourced development partial match
prevents

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.

A.8.7 Protection against malware partial match
mitigates

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.
