CVE-2025-9772
7.3RemoteClinic · RemoteClinic
RemoteClinic version 2.0 contains an unrestricted file upload vulnerability in the /staff/edit.php file, allowing for remote exploitation via manipulation of the image argument.
Executive summary
RemoteClinic version 2.0 is vulnerable to an unrestricted file upload flaw that allows remote attackers to compromise the system, though no official vendor patch is currently available.
Vulnerability
The application fails to properly validate file uploads within the /staff/edit.php component, permitting unauthenticated remote attackers to upload arbitrary files. This flaw stems from improper access controls and unrestricted upload mechanisms.
Business impact
The ability for an unauthenticated attacker to upload arbitrary files poses a severe risk of remote code execution, which could lead to a complete system compromise. Given the CVSS score of 7.3, this high-severity vulnerability threatens the confidentiality and integrity of sensitive patient or operational data. Because the software is no longer supported, the risk of permanent exposure remains high for any organization still utilizing this product.
Remediation
Immediate Action: As there is no official patch available due to the product reaching end-of-life, administrators must immediately isolate or decommission all instances of RemoteClinic version 2.0.
Proactive Monitoring: Review web server access logs for requests directed at /staff/edit.php, specifically monitoring for unusual file extensions or requests originating from unknown IP addresses.
Compensating Controls: Implement a Web Application Firewall (WAF) to block unauthorized POST requests to the vulnerable endpoint and restrict file upload types at the network edge.
Exploitation status
Public Exploit Available: Yes, a published proof-of-concept exists as documented in the referenced security report.
Analyst recommendation
Due to the lack of vendor support and the presence of a public proof-of-concept, this vulnerability represents an unmitigated risk to any environment. Organizations are strongly advised to migrate away from this legacy software immediately to prevent potential exploitation. If migration is not immediately feasible, strictly isolate the application within a segmented network and apply aggressive WAF filtering to mitigate the risk of unauthorized file uploads.
