CVE-2025-66601
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedA vulnerability has been found in FAST/TOOLS provided by Yokogawa Electric Corporation. This product does not specify MIME types. When an attacker performs a content sniffing attack, malicious scripts could be executed. The affected products and versions are as follows: FAST/TOOLS (Packages: RVSVRN, UNSVRN, HMIWEB, FTEES, HMIMOB) R9.01 to R10.04
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · high confidenceFAST/TOOLS web applications fail to specify MIME types in HTTP responses, allowing browsers to perform content sniffing. Attackers can exploit this to execute malicious scripts by uploading or serving files that browsers may interpret as HTML/JavaScript (e.g., uploading a file with malicious JS content that gets interpreted as text/html).

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Check FAST/TOOLS installed versionLocate the FAST/TOOLS installation directory and check the version information, typically found in an About dialog, version file, or by querying the application directly. Common locations include the installation folder or the application's login page banner.Affected if The installed version is r9.01, r9.02, r9.03, r9.04, r9.05, r10.01, r10.02, r10.03, or r10.04 (any version from r9.01 through r10.04 inclusive).
-
Identify web-accessible endpointsReview the FAST/TOOLS configuration to identify web-facing URLs, particularly file upload forms, file serving endpoints, or any URL that returns user-supplied or dynamically generated content.Affected if The application exposes any web-accessible endpoint that serves files or user content without enforcing Content-Type headers.
-
Inspect HTTP responses for Content-Type headerUse a browser developer tool or HTTP proxy (e.g., Burp Suite, Fiddler) to capture HTTP responses from FAST/TOOLS web endpoints. Specifically check responses that return file content or user-uploaded files for the presence of the Content-Type header.Affected if The HTTP response for file-serving or file-upload endpoints lacks a Content-Type header, or the Content-Type header value does not match the actual file type being served.
-
Inspect HTTP responses for X-Content-Type-Options headerIn the same HTTP capture, check whether the X-Content-Type-Options header is present and set to 'nosniff' on responses that serve content.Affected if The X-Content-Type-Options header is missing or is not set to 'nosniff' on responses, allowing browsers to perform content-type sniffing.
The environment is affected if FAST/TOOLS version is between r9.01 and r10.04 inclusive AND web responses lack proper Content-Type headers or the X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff directive, enabling content sniffing attacks.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
From vendor dataConfigure web servers and application endpoints to explicitly set proper Content-Type headers (e.g., Content-Type: text/plain for user-uploaded content) and add X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff to prevent browsers from guessing content types.
