## What is CVE-2025-35055?

CVE-2025-35055 is a high-severity vulnerability in Newforma Project Center, published on 9 Oct 2025. Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.

### Official description

Newforma Info Exchange (NIX) '/UserWeb/Common/UploadBlueimp.ashx' allows an authenticated attacker to upload an arbitrary file to any location writable by the NIX application. An attacker can upload and run a web shell or other content executable by the web server. An attacker can also delete directories.  In Newforma before 2023.1, anonymous access is enabled by default (CVE-2025-35062), allowing an otherwise unauthenticated attacker to effectively authenticate as 'anonymous' and exploit this file upload vulnerability.

Weakness: CWE-434 (Unrestricted Upload of File with Dangerous Type), CWE-22 (Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory)

Check this codebase for CVE-2025-35055 and fix it if it is affected.

What it is: CVE-2025-35055 is a high-severity vulnerability in Newforma Project Center, published on 9 Oct 2025. Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.
Exploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2025-35055 in the wild and no public exploit code.

Affected product: Newforma Project Center. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.

Task:
1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.
2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.
3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.
4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.
5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.
