Synthesised by an AI model from the NVD description and linked references — a reading aid, not an authoritative source.
CVE-2025-65471 is an arbitrary file upload vulnerability in the /admin/manager.php component of EasyImages 2.0 versions 2.8.6 and below. The flaw enables attackers to upload crafted PHP files, resulting in arbitrary code execution on the affected system. It carries a CVSS v3.1 base score of 8.8 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H) and is classified under CWE-434 (Unrestricted Upload of File with Dangerous Type). The vulnerability was published on 2025-12-11.
Exploitation requires network access, low attack complexity, and low privileges, such as an authenticated user with access to the admin manager interface. No user interaction is necessary, and the scope remains unchanged. Successful attacks achieve high impacts across confidentiality, integrity, and availability, allowing remote code execution on the server.

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.
