Security readout for executives and security teams
Plain-English summary
CVE-2025-25799 is a reported arbitrary file read issue in SeaCMS 13.3, tied to admin_safe.php. If reachable by an attacker with the required access, it could expose sensitive server files. The public record does not identify a vendor patch, and affected-product metadata is incomplete.
Executive priority
Treat as a targeted-risk issue: prioritize if SeaCMS 13.3 is deployed or if admin accounts are shared, weakly controlled, or exposed through remote access paths.
Technical view
The CVE describes SeaCMS 13.3 using file_get_contents in admin_safe.php in a way that can read arbitrary files. The CVSS vector is local, low complexity, high privileges required, no user interaction, with high confidentiality and integrity impact, scoring 6.0.
Likely exposure
Exposure is most likely limited to organizations running SeaCMS 13.3, especially where administrative functionality is accessible to privileged users. The CVE record's affected vendor/product fields are listed as n/a, so asset confirmation is required.
Exploitation context
The source bundle does not show CISA KEV listing or confirmed active exploitation. CVSS indicates exploitation requires local access and high privileges, which lowers broad internet-scale risk but keeps insider or compromised-admin scenarios relevant.
Researcher notes
Evidence is thin. The CVE description names SeaCMS 13.3 and admin_safe.php, but official affected-product metadata is n/a and no patch is named in the provided sources. Avoid assuming other versions are affected.
Mitigation direction
Inventory systems for SeaCMS 13.3 installations.
Check SeaCMS and project guidance for a fixed release or official workaround.
Restrict access to SeaCMS administrative paths to trusted administrators.
Review file permissions to limit sensitive readable files.
Monitor admin_safe.php access for unusual file-read patterns.
Validation and detection
Confirm whether SeaCMS 13.3 is present in production or staging.
Identify whether admin_safe.php exists and is reachable by administrators.
Review vendor or project advisories for patch status.
Check logs for suspicious admin_safe.php requests.
Verify remediated code does not pass untrusted paths to file_get_contents.

CWE-552: Exact CWE lookup
Use the exact CWE identifier as the starting point before reviewing related ATT&CK behavior. 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 file access or upload behavior, so file telemetry and web shell review may help. 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.
We collect every scored CVSS vector available in the official CNA and ADP containers. When more than one version is present, the table keeps the source vectors side by side instead of collapsing them into the highest score.
