Overview
CVE-2025-57213 details an incorrect access control vulnerability found in Platform version 1.0.0. Specifically, the orderService.queryObject component is susceptible to unauthorized access, potentially allowing attackers to retrieve sensitive information through carefully crafted requests. This vulnerability was published on 2025-12-04 and poses a significant risk to systems running the affected version.
Technical Details
The vulnerability resides in the orderService.queryObject component. Due to flawed access control mechanisms, a malicious actor can bypass intended security checks and directly query the component, potentially extracting data related to orders, users, or other sensitive aspects of the platform. The exact nature of the “crafted request” requires further investigation, but it is likely related to manipulating parameters or directly calling the function without proper authentication or authorization.
The lack of adequate validation and authorization checks before executing the query allows for this unauthorized data retrieval.
CVSS Analysis
Currently, no CVSS score is available for CVE-2025-57213. This is likely due to the recent publication of the CVE. However, considering the potential for sensitive data exposure, it is reasonable to assume that once a CVSS score is assigned, it will likely be classified as a High or Critical severity vulnerability. The score will depend on the scope of the information accessible and the ease of exploitation. We will update this section as soon as the official CVSS score is available.
Possible Impact
Successful exploitation of CVE-2025-57213 can lead to several damaging outcomes, including:
- Sensitive Data Exposure: Attackers can gain access to order details, user information (names, addresses, emails, etc.), and potentially financial data.
- Account Takeover: Exposed user credentials or other identifying information could be used to compromise user accounts.
- Reputational Damage: A data breach resulting from this vulnerability can significantly damage the organization’s reputation and customer trust.
- Financial Loss: Data breaches can lead to financial losses due to fines, legal fees, and remediation efforts.
- Business Disruption: The exploitation of this vulnerability could disrupt normal business operations.
Mitigation or Patch Steps
To mitigate the risk posed by CVE-2025-57213, the following steps are recommended:
- Apply the Patch: The primary solution is to apply the official patch released by the Platform developers as soon as it becomes available. Monitor the vendor’s website and security advisories for updates.
- Implement Access Control: Review and strengthen access control mechanisms for the
orderService.queryObjectcomponent. Ensure that only authorized users can access sensitive data. - Input Validation: Implement robust input validation to prevent attackers from crafting malicious requests that bypass security checks.
- Web Application Firewall (WAF): Deploy a WAF to filter malicious traffic and block attempts to exploit the vulnerability. Configure the WAF with rules to detect and prevent unauthorized access to the affected component.
- Regular Security Audits: Conduct regular security audits and penetration testing to identify and address potential vulnerabilities in the platform.
- Monitor for Suspicious Activity: Implement monitoring and logging mechanisms to detect suspicious activity and potential exploitation attempts.
