Summary

CVE-2025-7619 is a high-severity Relative Path Traversal (CWE-23) vulnerability in Org (inferred from references). Its CVSS base score is 8.7 (High).

Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Exploit Public-Facing Application (T1190); ranked in the top 47% of CVEs by exploit likelihood; it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog.

The strongest mitigations our analysis identified map to SI-10 (Information Input Validation) and AC-3 (Access Enforcement) — see the control section below for these in your framework.

Deeper analysis AI-assisted summary

Synthesised by an AI model from the NVD description and linked references — a reading aid, not an authoritative source.

BatchSignCS, a background Windows application developed by WellChoose, contains an arbitrary file write vulnerability tracked as CVE-2025-7619 and CWE-23. The flaw permits remote attackers to write files to arbitrary paths on the host system when the application is active, which can be leveraged for arbitrary code execution. It carries a CVSS 4.0 score of 8.7 reflecting network attack vector, low complexity, and high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability.

A remote attacker can exploit the issue if a user visits a malicious website while BatchSignCS is running, bypassing typical user-interaction requirements and enabling direct file writes that lead to code execution. The attack requires the victim to have the affected application active but does not need elevated privileges beyond those of the running process.

Advisories published by Taiwan's TW-CERT at the referenced URLs provide further details on the vulnerability and recommended actions for affected users. The EPSS score remains flat at 0.0337 with no material increase observed since disclosure.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

Explicit validation of path inputs stops .. sequences from ever being interpreted by the file system.

Access enforcement directly blocks unauthorized file reads/writes that result from unresolved .. sequences.

Information-flow rules can be configured to reject traversals that would move data outside an approved directory boundary.

Least privilege reduces the set of reachable files even when a traversal succeeds.

Secure-engineering principles require safe pathname construction and input neutralization before any file operation.

Secure SDLC practices directly require input validation and path sanitization that prevent relative traversal.

finds

Security testing in development catches path traversal via static/dynamic analysis, but does not itself implement the fix.

prevents

Secure development lifecycle mandates input validation and path-handling controls that directly prevent relative path traversal.

prevents

Application security requirements explicitly call for controls against path traversal and other injection flaws.

prevents

Secure architecture principles include directory isolation and canonicalization, reducing but not eliminating traversal risk.

prevents

Secure coding standards require neutralizing path traversal sequences, directly addressing CWE-23.

mitigates

Information access restriction limits which files can be reached, mitigating impact but not preventing the traversal flaw.
