CVE-2018-25374: Softneta MedDream PACS Server Premium 6.7.1.1 Directory Traversal

Softneta MedDream PACS Server Premium 6.7.1.1 contains a directory traversal vulnerability that allows unauthenticated attackers to read arbitrary files by manipulating the path parameter. Attackers can send requests to nocache.php with encoded backslash sequences to traverse directories and access sensitive files including system configuration and password files.

Security readout for executives and security teams

Plain-English summary

A vulnerable MedDream PACS Server Premium can let an unauthenticated remote attacker read files from the server, including sensitive configuration or password-related files. For healthcare environments, that could expose credentials, system details, or paths to patient-imaging infrastructure. The source bundle identifies version 6.7.1.1 only.

Executive priority

Prioritize quickly if this product is deployed, especially in healthcare imaging environments. The issue is unauthenticated, remotely reachable, and confidentiality-focused, which can expose sensitive operational data. If the product is not present or not externally reachable, urgency drops but version verification is still warranted.

Technical view

CVE-2018-25374 is a CWE-22 directory traversal in Softneta MedDream PACS Server Premium 6.7.1.1. The issue affects nocache.php path handling and allows remote, unauthenticated arbitrary file read. CVSS 4.0 is 8.7 high, driven by network access, low complexity, no privileges, no user interaction, and high confidentiality impact.

Likely exposure

Exposure is most likely where MedDream PACS Server Premium 6.7.1.1 is reachable from untrusted networks. Internet-facing or partner-accessible PACS portals have higher business risk because no authentication is required. The sources do not identify other affected versions.

Exploitation context

The bundle includes an ExploitDB reference, so public exploit information exists. CISA KEV is false in the provided data, and no cited source states active exploitation. Treat this as credible and easy to attempt, but do not claim in-the-wild exploitation from these sources.

Researcher notes

The evidence names Softneta MedDream PACS Server Premium 6.7.1.1 specifically. Patch status is not established in the bundle. The CVE was published on 2026-05-25 despite the 2018 identifier and older ExploitDB reference, so validate asset age and vendor history carefully.

Mitigation direction

  • Identify and prioritize any MedDream PACS Server Premium 6.7.1.1 systems.
  • Check Softneta guidance for fixed versions or vendor-supported mitigation.
  • Restrict external access to PACS services until remediation is confirmed.
  • Place access behind VPN, allowlists, or equivalent network controls.
  • Review whether exposed files could contain credentials and rotate if needed.

Validation and detection

  • Inventory MedDream PACS deployments and confirm exact product version.
  • Check whether nocache.php is reachable from untrusted networks.
  • Review web logs for traversal-like requests targeting nocache.php.
  • Confirm remediation status against Softneta or current vendor release notes.
  • Document exposed systems, compensating controls, and remaining risk.
