CVE-2023-25261: Certain Stimulsoft GmbH products are affected by: Remote Code Execution.
Certain Stimulsoft GmbH products are affected by: Remote Code Execution. This affects Stimulsoft Designer (Desktop) 2023.1.4 and Stimulsoft Designer (Web) 2023.1.3 and Stimulsoft Viewer (Web) 2023.1.3. Access to the local file system is not prohibited in any way. Therefore, an attacker may include source code which reads or writes local directories and files. It is also possible for the attacker to prepare a report which has a variable that holds the gathered data and render it in the report.
Security readout for executives and security teams
This vulnerability can let a malicious report interact with files on the machine running affected Stimulsoft components. The public record says local file access is not blocked, so attacker-supplied report content may read or write local directories and display collected data inside a rendered report. Exposure is most likely where affected Stimulsoft Web or Desktop components process report files, templates, or report definitions from untrusted or semi-trusted users. Treat as a high-priority exposure review if affected Stimulsoft components handle untrusted report content. Business risk includes local data disclosure, file tampering, and possible server compromise, but active exploitation is not evidenced here. Mitigation focus: Check Stimulsoft guidance for fixed versions or vendor-recommended mitigations.; Upgrade affected Stimulsoft products if a fixed release is available.; Restrict who can upload, create, or render report definitions..

CWE-94: Code execution behavior lookup
Code execution and unsafe deserialization weaknesses often justify reviewing execution behavior and process telemetry. Open the exact CWE lookup page first, then review the ATT&CK searches from that MITRE weakness context. This is a Glexia lookup hint, not an official ATT&CK mapping.
The CVE wording references code or command execution, so execution technique review may help defensive triage. This is a Glexia inferred lookup path, not an official MITRE, ATT&CK, or CVE Program mapping.
These fields come from the CVE record and ADP containers, not from Glexia's Take. They preserve time-varying source decisions such as CISA SSVC, KEV status, CVSS metrics, and provider references.

Improper Control of Generation of Code ('Code Injection')
Improper Control of Generation of Code ('Code Injection') represents a recurring weakness pattern that can create exploitable paths when design, validation, or implementation controls are missing.
