CVE-2025-70841
📋 TL;DR
CVE-2025-70841 allows unauthenticated attackers to access the .env configuration file in Dokans Multi-Tenancy eCommerce Platform, exposing sensitive credentials including database passwords, encryption keys, and API tokens. This enables complete system compromise across all tenants in the multi-tenant architecture. All organizations running the vulnerable version are affected.
💻 Affected Systems
- Dokans Multi-Tenancy Based eCommerce Platform SaaS
⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact
Worst Case
Complete system takeover: attackers forge session tokens to bypass authentication, access all tenant databases, steal sensitive customer data, compromise email infrastructure, and potentially deploy ransomware or backdoors.
Likely Case
Data breach and authentication bypass: attackers steal database credentials to exfiltrate all tenant data including customer PII and payment information, then use encryption keys to forge admin sessions.
If Mitigated
Limited impact if file is properly restricted: attackers cannot access configuration file, preventing credential exposure and limiting attack surface to other vulnerabilities.
🎯 Exploit Status
Simple HTTP GET request to /script/.env; no authentication required; trivial to automate.
🛠️ Fix & Mitigation
✅ Official Fix
Patch Version: Unknown
Vendor Advisory: Not available
Restart Required: No
Instructions:
1. Check vendor website for updates. 2. If patch available, download and apply. 3. Test in staging environment. 4. Deploy to production. 5. Rotate all exposed credentials.
🔧 Temporary Workarounds
Block .env file access via web server
allConfigure web server to deny access to .env files
# Apache: Add to .htaccess
<Files ".env">
Order allow,deny
Deny from all
</Files>
# Nginx: Add to server block
location ~ /\.env {
deny all;
return 404;
}
Move .env outside web root
linuxRelocate .env file to directory not accessible via web
# Move file
mv /var/www/html/script/.env /etc/secure-config/.env
# Update Laravel bootstrap/app.php to point to new location
🧯 If You Can't Patch
- Implement WAF rules to block requests to .env files and monitor for access attempts
- Rotate all exposed credentials immediately: database passwords, API keys, encryption keys, SMTP credentials
🔍 How to Verify
Check if Vulnerable:
Attempt to access https://your-domain.com/script/.env via browser or curl; if file contents are returned, system is vulnerable.Check Version:
Check application version in admin panel or review source code for version markersVerify Fix Applied:
Attempt same access after implementing controls; should receive 403/404 error or empty response.📡 Detection & Monitoring
Log Indicators:
- HTTP 200 responses to .env file requests
- Unusual database access from new IPs
- Failed login attempts followed by successful admin access
Network Indicators:
- GET requests to /script/.env
- Outbound connections to database from unexpected sources
- SMTP traffic from unauthorized IPs
SIEM Query:
source="web_logs" AND (uri="/script/.env" OR uri LIKE "%.env") AND status=200
