Executive Summary

CVE-2025-65416 is an arbitrary file upload vulnerability in the docuFORM Managed Print Service Client version 11.11c. It allows authenticated attackers to upload malicious files via the pmupdate.php script without proper validation of the file type, content, or extension.

This means attackers can upload harmful files such as web shells or scripts that could be executed by the server if placed in a web-accessible directory.

Detection Guidance

This vulnerability involves arbitrary file upload via the pmupdate.php endpoint in docuFORM Managed Print Service Client 11.11c. Detection can focus on monitoring for unusual HTTP POST requests to pmupdate.php that include file uploads.

You can use network monitoring tools or web server logs to identify suspicious uploads. For example, using command-line tools like curl or wget to test the endpoint or grep to search logs for accesses to pmupdate.php may help.

• Check web server access logs for POST requests to pmupdate.php: grep "POST /pmupdate.php" /var/log/apache2/access.log
• Use curl to test file upload functionality (for authorized users): curl -F "[email protected]" https://targetserver/pmupdate.php
• Monitor for unexpected or unauthorized file uploads in web-accessible directories.
