CVE-2025-2264: Santesoft Sante PACS Server Path Traversal Information Disclosure

Noroxi assessment

Priority: This week (action score 60/100)

A ready-made attack module is public (Metasploit, Nuclei); exploiting it takes no special expertise.
A ready-made attack tool exists and the flaw can be exploited over the network without an account, so priority is at least “This week”.
Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 35.3% (FIRST EPSS); higher than 98.4% of all records.
Anyone who can reach it over the internet can trigger it. No account or password is required. No user action is required. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
According to CISA the attack is automatable: targets can be found by mass scanning.
According to the record, no fixed version is available yet.

Don’t wait for the next maintenance window. Until a fix is released, restrict access to the affected component and follow the vendor's advisory.
