CVE-2025-7065
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 · uneditedDue to client-controlled permission check parameter, PAD CMS's photo upload functionality allows an unauthenticated remote attacker to upload files of any type and extension without restriction, which can then be executed leading to Remote Code Execution. This issue affects all 3 templates: www, bip and ww+bip. This product is End-Of-Life and producent will not publish patches for this vulnerability.
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 confidencePAD CMS photo upload functionality contains an Insecure Direct Object Reference (IDOR) vulnerability where the permission check parameter is client-controlled. An unauthenticated attacker can bypass authorization and upload arbitrary file types, including executable scripts, which can then be accessed and executed for remote code execution. All three templates (www, bip, ww+bip) are affected.

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.
-
Confirm PAD CMS installation and versionLocate the PAD CMS installation directory and check for a version file or header. Common locations include version.php, about.php, or check the main index file for a version string. Also check any admin/backend panel for version information.Affected if The installed version is Widzialni Pad CMS 1.2.1 or any earlier version.
-
Identify if photo upload module is accessibleCheck the web server configuration and application routing to determine if the photo upload endpoint is publicly accessible. Look for paths such as /upload, /photo/upload, /media/upload, or similar patterns in the application's URL structure and routing configuration.Affected if The photo upload functionality is enabled and reachable without authentication or with the client-controlled permission check.
-
Inspect upload directory for unexpected file typesExamine the directories where uploaded photos are stored. Check for files with executable extensions such as .php, .php5, .phtml, .exe, .sh, .asp, .aspx, .jsp, or .cgi. List all files and note their extensions and modification dates.Affected if The upload directory contains executable script files (.php, .phtml, etc.) that were not intentionally uploaded by administrators.
-
Review web server access logs for upload endpoint activitySearch access logs for POST requests to known or suspected upload endpoints. Look for requests with Content-Type headers indicating file uploads, particularly those with unusual or executable file extensions. Also check for requests without valid authentication tokens.Affected if There are unauthenticated POST requests to upload endpoints or requests uploading files with executable extensions.
-
Verify if uploaded files are directly accessible and executableAttempt to access a known uploaded file via HTTP/HTTPS to determine if the web server serves it as a static file or attempts to execute it. Check if uploaded PHP or other script files are being executed when accessed directly.Affected if Uploaded script files can be accessed via URL and are either executed or returned with executable content that could lead to RCE.
A user is affected if they are running Widzialni Pad CMS version 1.2.1 or earlier with the photo upload functionality accessible, and especially if unauthorized executable files are found in upload directories or logs show unauthenticated upload attempts.

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.
dbcve · scopedSince no vendor patch is available, immediately disable or restrict access to the photo upload functionality via web server configuration or remove the module entirely. Deploy a WAF with positive security rules to block file uploads of executable types, or migrate to a supported CMS solution.
- 1. Immediately disable or remove the PAD CMS installation as it is End-of-Life and has no security patches available.
- 2. Migrate to an actively maintained CMS solution that receives regular security updates.
- 3. If migration is not immediately possible, implement compensating controls: disable the photo upload functionality at the web server level (remove or restrict access to upload endpoints), configure the web server to prevent execution of any files in upload directories (e.g., set directory permissions to deny script execution), and consider deploying a Web Application Firewall (WAF) to filter mal
- 4. Conduct a thorough security audit of any new CMS deployment to ensure similar vulnerabilities are not present.
