CVE-2019-25257 Vulnerability Summary

CVE-2019-25257: LogicalDOC Enterprise 7.7.4 contains multiple authenticated OS command execution vulnerabilities that allow attackers to manipulate binary paths when changing system settings. Attackers can exploit these vulnerabilities by modifying configuration parameters like antivirus.command, ocr.Tesseract.path, and other system paths to execute arbitrary system commands with elevated privileges.

Assessing the Risk of CVE-2019-25257

Access Complexity Graph

The exploitability of CVE-2019-25257 depends on two key factors: attack complexity (the level of effort required to execute an exploit) and privileges required (the access level an attacker needs).

Exploitability Analysis for CVE-2019-25257

CVE-2019-25257 presents an accessible attack vector with minimal effort required. Restricting access controls and implementing security updates are critical to reducing exploitation risks.

Understanding AC and PR

A lower complexity and fewer privilege requirements make exploitation easier. Security teams should evaluate these aspects to determine the urgency of mitigation strategies, such as patch management and access control policies.

Attack Complexity (AC) measures the difficulty in executing an exploit. A high AC means that specific conditions must be met, making an attack more challenging, while a low AC means the vulnerability can be exploited with minimal effort.

Privileges Required (PR) determine the level of system access necessary for an attack. Vulnerabilities requiring no privileges are more accessible to attackers, whereas high privilege requirements limit exploitation to authorized users with elevated access.

CVSS Score Breakdown Chart

Above is the CVSS Sub-score Breakdown for CVE-2019-25257, illustrating how Base, Impact, and Exploitability factors combine to form the overall severity rating. A higher sub-score typically indicates a more severe or easier-to-exploit vulnerability.

CIA Impact Analysis

Below is the Impact Analysis for CVE-2019-25257, showing how Confidentiality, Integrity, and Availability might be affected if the vulnerability is exploited. Higher values usually signal greater potential damage.

  • Confidentiality: High
    Exploiting CVE-2019-25257 can result in unauthorized access to sensitive data, severely compromising data privacy.
  • Integrity: None
    CVE-2019-25257 poses no threat to data integrity.
  • Availability: None
    CVE-2019-25257 does not impact system availability.

CWE Common Weakness Enumeration

CWE-426

CAPEC Common Attack Pattern Enumeration and Classification

  • Leveraging/Manipulating Configuration File Search Paths CAPEC-38 This pattern of attack sees an adversary load a malicious resource into a program's standard path so that when a known command is executed then the system instead executes the malicious component. The adversary can either modify the search path a program uses, like a PATH variable or classpath, or they can manipulate resources on the path to point to their malicious components. J2EE applications and other component based applications that are built from multiple binaries can have very long list of dependencies to execute. If one of these libraries and/or references is controllable by the attacker then application controls can be circumvented by the attacker.
