Overview<\/strong><\/p>\n

A critical vulnerability has been discovered in Archer Technology RSA Archer version 6.11.00204.10014 that allows attackers to execute arbitrary code via specifically crafted system inputs. By exploiting this vulnerability, potential system compromise or data leakage could occur. The severity of the impact underscores the importance of understanding this vulnerability<\/a>, who it affects and why it matters.
\nArcher RSA Archer, a popular risk management software used by businesses globally, is the primary target for this vulnerability<\/a>. Its wide usage, combined with the high severity of the vulnerability<\/a>, means that a large number of organizations could be at risk of a significant security breach.<\/p>\n

Vulnerability Summary<\/strong><\/p>\n

CVE ID: CVE-2025-50572
\nSeverity: Critical (CVSS 8.8)
\nAttack Vector: Remote
\nPrivileges Required: Low
\nUser Interaction: Required
\nImpact: Potential system<\/a> compromise or data leakage<\/p>\n

Affected Products<\/strong><\/p>\n

Product | Affected Versions<\/p>\n

Archer Technology RSA Archer | 6.11.00204.10014<\/p>\n

How the Exploit Works<\/strong><\/p>\n

The exploit takes advantage of a flaw in the system’s handling of CSV file<\/a> export and import. Attackers craft specific system inputs, which when exported to a CSV file, would contain malicious code<\/a>. When this file is opened with compatible applications, the malicious code is executed<\/a>, leading to potential system compromise or data leakage.<\/p>\n

Conceptual Example Code<\/strong><\/p>\n

Below is a conceptual example of how this vulnerability might be exploited.<\/p>\n

POST \/rsa-archer\/api\/data-import HTTP\/1.1\nHost: target.example.com\nContent-Type: application\/json\n{\n\"malicious_payload\": \"'; DROP TABLE users; --\"\n}<\/code><\/pre>\n
In this example, a JSON payload containing a malicious SQL command is sent to a vulnerable<\/a> endpoint. This malicious payload is then inserted into the system inputs, which would be subsequently exported into a CSV file. When this CSV file is opened with a compatible application, the malicious SQL command would be executed<\/a>, potentially leading to severe data loss.<\/p>\n
Mitigation Guidance<\/strong><\/p>\n
To mitigate this vulnerability, users are advised to apply the vendor patch as soon as it becomes available. In the meantime, using a Web Application Firewall (WAF) or Intrusion Detection System (IDS) can serve as a temporary mitigation method.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
