CVE-2025-67437 Medical Management System CVE debrief

CVE-2025-67437 documents an insecure permissions vulnerability in Medical Management System commit a81df1ce700a9662cb136b27af47f4cbde64156b that enables arbitrary user password reset. The vulnerability was published to the CVE List on 15 May 2026 and last modified on 18 May 2026. NVD currently lists the vulnerability status as Deferred. The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:N) yields a base score of 6.5 (Medium severity), indicating network-accessible attack vectors with low complexity, no required privileges, and no user interaction, resulting in low impacts to confidentiality and integrity. The weakness is classified under CWE-284 (Improper Access Control). Source references point to issue trackers on Gitee and GitHub, suggesting the vulnerability was initially reported through community disclosure channels. No Known Exploited Vulnerability (KEV) entry exists, and no ransomware campaign use has been documented. Vendor attribution remains uncertain—Gitee is identified only as a reference domain candidate with low confidence, and the vendor field is marked for review.
