Overview
The world of cybersecurity is constantly evolving with new vulnerabilities being discovered every day. One such vulnerability is CVE-2025-58384, a high-severity issue residing in DOXENSE WATCHDOC before version 6.1.1.5332. This vulnerability can lead to a remote code execution due to the deserialization of untrusted data via the .NET Remoting library in the Watchdoc administration interface. This vulnerability poses a significant risk to businesses that leverage DOXENSE WATCHDOC for document management, potentially leading to system compromise or data leakage.

DOXENSE WATCHDOC | Before 6.1.1.5332
How the Exploit Works
The vulnerability in question occurs due to an improper deserialization issue in the .NET Remoting library of the Watchdoc administration interface. In simple terms, deserialization is the process of converting serialized objects back into their original form. However, if an attacker can control the serialized data and manipulate it, they can execute arbitrary code remotely. As a result, a successful exploit could lead to complete system compromise.
Conceptual Example Code
Here is a conceptual example of how the vulnerability might be exploited. This example does not represent a real exploit, but it provides an illustration of how a malicious payload could be inserted:
POST /admin/interface HTTP/1.1
Host: target.example.com
Content-Type: application/binary
{ "malicious_serialized_object": "..." }In this example, the “malicious_serialized_object” would contain code that takes advantage of the deserialization vulnerability, leading to remote code execution.
Mitigation
To mitigate the risk of this vulnerability, users of DOXENSE WATCHDOC are advised to upgrade to version 6.1.1.5332 or later where the vulnerability has been patched. In scenarios where immediate patching is not possible, deploying a Web Application Firewall (WAF) or Intrusion Detection System (IDS) can provide temporary mitigation. However, these are not long-term solutions, and patching the software should be the ultimate goal to ensure robust security.
