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

The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) system has identified a significant flaw in the Sante PACS Server Web Portal. This vulnerability, tagged as CVE-2025-54156, pertains to the transmission of credential information without proper encryption. This issue is critical as it exposes sensitive user data, making it susceptible to interception and misuse by malicious third parties.<\/p>\n

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

CVE ID: CVE-2025-54156
\nSeverity: High (CVSS: 7.4)
\nAttack Vector: Network
\nPrivileges Required: None
\nUser Interaction: Required
\nImpact: Possible system compromise and data leakage<\/p>\n

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

Product | Affected Versions<\/p>\n

Sante PACS Server Web Portal | All versions prior to patch<\/p>\n

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

The vulnerability arises due to the insecure transmission of credential information over the network. When a user logs into the Sante PACS Server Web Portal, their username and password are sent to the server without any form of encryption. This allows any attacker who is able to intercept the network traffic to gain access to this confidential information. This is typically achieved by deploying a man-in-the-middle (MitM) attack.<\/p>\n

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

Here is a conceptual example of how this vulnerability may be exploited. An attacker might set up a man-in-the-middle attack, intercepting network traffic and capturing the following HTTP request:<\/p>\n

POST \/login HTTP\/1.1\nHost: target.example.com\nContent-Type: application\/json\n{ \"username\": \"victim_username\", \"password\": \"victim_password\" }<\/code><\/pre>\n
By capturing this request, the attacker would have access to the victim’s plaintext username and password.<\/p>\n
Mitigation Guidance<\/strong><\/p>\n
To mitigate this vulnerability, users are advised to apply the most recent vendor patch. If a patch is not immediately available, deploying a Web Application Firewall (WAF) or an Intrusion Detection System (IDS) can provide temporary protection by monitoring and blocking suspicious activities. It is also recommended to use secure communication protocols, such as HTTPS, to encrypt all transmitted data.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
