Synthesised by an AI model from the NVD description and linked references — a reading aid, not an authoritative source.
CVE-2025-57795 is an authenticated remote file download vulnerability in a web service component of Explorance Blue versions prior to 8.14.13. Published on 2026-01-28, this flaw allows attackers to download arbitrary files when exploited in default configurations, potentially leading to remote code execution. It carries a CVSS v3.1 base score of 9.9 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H) and maps to CWE-434 (Unrestricted Upload of File with Dangerous Type).
Attackers with low-privilege authenticated access can exploit the vulnerability remotely over the network with low complexity and no user interaction. Exploitation changes the scope to high (S:C), granting high impacts on confidentiality, integrity, and availability, ultimately enabling remote code execution on the targeted system.
Advisories from Explorance and Mandiant provide mitigation guidance, including upgrading to Explorance Blue version 8.14.13 or later.

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.

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.
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.
