CVE-2025-0632 in Rock Maker Web
Summary
by MITRE • 04/21/2025
Local File Inclusion (LFI) vulnerability in a Render function of Formulatrix Rock Maker Web (RMW) allows a remote attacker to obtain sensitive data via arbitrary code execution. A malicious actor could execute malicious scripts to automatically download configuration files in known locations to exfiltrate data including credentials, and with no rate limiting a malicious actor could enumerate the filesystem of the host machine and potentially lead to full host compromise.
This issue affects Rock Maker Web: from 3.2.1.1 and later

The CVE-2025-0632 vulnerability represents a critical local file inclusion flaw within the Formulatrix Rock Maker Web platform, specifically within its Render function component. This vulnerability manifests as a remote code execution vector that enables attackers to manipulate the application's file handling mechanisms to access arbitrary files on the server. The flaw exists in versions 3.2.1.1 and later of the Rock Maker Web software, indicating that this represents a regression or newly introduced security weakness in the application's processing pipeline. The vulnerability's classification as a local file inclusion issue stems from the application's failure to properly validate and sanitize file paths passed to its rendering components, creating an opportunity for attackers to bypass normal access controls and traverse the filesystem.
The technical exploitation of this vulnerability occurs through the Render function's handling of user-supplied input that ultimately influences file operations within the application's execution context. When an attacker crafts malicious input that gets processed by this vulnerable function, they can manipulate the application to include and execute local files that should normally be restricted. This typically involves passing specially crafted paths or file references that allow the application to load configuration files, system files, or other sensitive data from predetermined locations on the filesystem. The vulnerability's severity is amplified by the absence of rate limiting mechanisms, which allows attackers to systematically enumerate the target system's file structure without triggering automated defensive responses.
The operational impact of this vulnerability extends beyond simple data exfiltration to encompass complete system compromise potential. Attackers can leverage this weakness to automatically download configuration files containing database credentials, API keys, and other sensitive authentication material from well-known system locations. The lack of rate limiting creates a dangerous environment where automated enumeration tools can systematically map the filesystem, identifying critical files and directories that may contain additional sensitive information. This reconnaissance phase can lead to the discovery of backup files, log files containing additional credentials, or system configuration data that could provide further attack vectors. The vulnerability essentially provides attackers with a backdoor into the application's operational environment, potentially enabling them to escalate privileges or establish persistent access to the compromised host.
Mitigation strategies for CVE-2025-0632 should prioritize immediate patching of affected versions, with particular attention to implementing proper input validation and sanitization within the Render function's processing pipeline. The solution must address the core issue of insufficient path validation by implementing strict whitelisting of acceptable file paths and ensuring that all user-supplied input undergoes comprehensive sanitization before being processed. Organizations should implement rate limiting mechanisms to prevent automated enumeration attempts and deploy file access controls that restrict the application's ability to access sensitive system locations. This vulnerability aligns with CWE-22 (Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory) and represents a clear violation of secure coding practices. From an ATT&CK perspective, this vulnerability maps to T1059.007 (Command and Scripting Interpreter: Python) and T1005 (Data from Local System) as attackers can leverage the RCE capability to execute malicious code and extract sensitive data from the compromised host. The remediation process should include comprehensive security testing of all file handling components and implementation of a robust security monitoring system to detect anomalous file access patterns that might indicate exploitation attempts.
