Overview
CVE-2025-9060 is a critical security vulnerability identified in the MSoft MFlash application that potentially allows malicious actors to execute arbitrary code on the server, leading to system compromise or data leakage. This vulnerability primarily affects MFlash administrators who utilize the application’s integration configuration functionality. Given the severity of the vulnerability indicated by a CVSS score of 9.1, it is imperative for organizations using this software to understand the risk and take immediate actions to mitigate potential threats.

How the Exploit Works
The vulnerability resides in the integration configuration functionality of the MFlash application. In particular, when setting up security components, the parameters provided are not adequately validated. This lack of proper validation allows an attacker with administrative privileges to manipulate the parameters, potentially inserting malicious code. Once these manipulated parameters are processed by the server, the arbitrary code is executed, leading to potential system compromise or data leakage.
Conceptual Example Code
Given the nature of this vulnerability, an example of a potential exploit could involve the attacker sending a malicious POST request to the server, as shown below:
POST /MFlash/IntegrationConfig HTTP/1.1
Host: target.example.com
Content-Type: application/json
{ "security_component": "malicious_code_here" }In this example, the “security_component” parameter, which is typically used to configure security settings, is manipulated to include malicious code. Once the server processes this request, the malicious code embedded within the “security_component” parameter is executed.
Mitigation Guidance
To mitigate this vulnerability, users of MSoft MFlash are recommended to apply hotfix 11.06.2025 and above (specifically 8.2-653), provided by the vendor. If the patch cannot be applied immediately, the use of a Web Application Firewall (WAF) or Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) can serve as a temporary countermeasure. These security systems can be configured to detect and block malicious requests, thereby preventing the execution of arbitrary code on the server.
