Overview
CVE-2025-14085 is a medium severity vulnerability found in youlaitech youlai-mall versions 1.0.0 and 2.0.0. This vulnerability allows for remote attackers to potentially execute arbitrary code due to improper control of dynamically identified variables when manipulating the ‘orderId’ argument in the /app-api/v1/orders/ endpoint. The vendor has been notified but has not provided a response or patch at this time.
Technical Details
The vulnerability resides in the handling of the orderId parameter within the /app-api/v1/orders/ endpoint. An attacker can manipulate this parameter to inject malicious code, potentially leading to the execution of arbitrary commands on the server. The root cause is identified as improper control of dynamically identified variables, which allows the injected code to be interpreted and executed.
The exploit has been publicly disclosed, making it readily available for malicious actors to leverage. This increases the urgency for organizations using youlai-mall to take preventative measures.
CVSS Analysis
The Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) score for CVE-2025-14085 is 6.3 (MEDIUM).
- Attack Vector: Network (AV:N)
- Attack Complexity: Low (AC:L)
- Privileges Required: None (PR:N)
- User Interaction: None (UI:N)
- Scope: Unchanged (S:U)
- Confidentiality Impact: Low (C:L)
- Integrity Impact: Low (I:L)
- Availability Impact: Low (A:L)
This score indicates that the vulnerability is relatively easy to exploit remotely and has a potential impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. While the impact is not considered critical, the ease of exploitation makes it a significant risk.
Possible Impact
Successful exploitation of CVE-2025-14085 could lead to:
- Data Breach: Unauthorized access to sensitive customer or order data.
- Website Defacement: Modification of the website’s appearance or functionality.
- Service Disruption: Denial-of-service attacks or system instability.
- Code Execution: The attacker could gain the ability to run arbitrary code on the server, leading to full system compromise.
Mitigation or Patch Steps
As the vendor has not released a patch, immediate mitigation steps are crucial:
- Web Application Firewall (WAF): Implement a WAF with rules to detect and block malicious requests targeting the
/app-api/v1/orders/endpoint. Specifically, look for attempts to inject code within theorderIdparameter. - Input Validation: Implement strict input validation on the
orderIdparameter to sanitize and reject any potentially malicious input. - Rate Limiting: Implement rate limiting to prevent attackers from rapidly attempting exploits.
- Monitor Logs: Carefully monitor server logs for suspicious activity related to the
/app-api/v1/orders/endpoint. - Consider Disabling the Endpoint: If feasible, temporarily disable the vulnerable endpoint until a patch is available.
Continue to monitor for updates from the vendor or the security community regarding a patch or further mitigation strategies.
