CVE-2025-35996
CWE-97Published: May 1, 2025· Updated: Jun 17, 2026
Official Description
KUNBUS PiCtory version 2.11.1 and earlier are vulnerable when an authenticated remote attacker crafts a special filename that can be stored by API endpoints. That filename is later transmitted to the client in order to show a list of configuration files. Due to a missing escape or sanitization, the filename could be executed as HTML script tag resulting in a cross-site-scripting attack.
Risk Analysis
KUNBUS PiCtory is vulnerable to a cross-site scripting (XSS) attack due to improper sanitization of filenames used in API endpoints. This critical flaw allows an authenticated remote attacker to execute malicious scripts, resulting in a CVSS score of 9.0.
The vulnerability is remotely exploitable, though it requires authentication and user interaction; no public exploit is currently known.
Apply patches provided by KUNBUS and ensure proper input sanitization is enforced for all file-handling operations.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2025-35996 can be exploited remotely over the network without requiring physical or adjacent access, significantly expanding the attack surface for threat actors.
Exploitation requires low privileges, which limits the exposure to scenarios where an attacker has already gained initial access.
A successful exploit results in complete confidentiality breach (data exposure), full integrity compromise (data manipulation), availability disruption (denial of service), with a CVSS base score of 9.0.
The vulnerability has a "Changed" scope, meaning successful exploitation can impact components beyond the vulnerable component itself — such as the host operating system or adjacent services.
