Overview
A Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerability, identified as CVE-2025-14117, has been discovered in fit2cloud Halo version 2.21.10. This vulnerability allows an attacker to potentially execute unauthorized actions on behalf of an authenticated user. The vendor was notified but did not respond.
Technical Details
The vulnerability resides in an unspecified function within fit2cloud Halo 2.21.10. By crafting a malicious web page or email, an attacker can trick a logged-in user into unknowingly submitting a request that performs actions within the Halo application. Successful exploitation of this CSRF vulnerability could lead to unauthorized data modification, account compromise, or other malicious activities. The publicly available exploit code makes this vulnerability particularly dangerous.
CVSS Analysis
- CVE ID: CVE-2025-14117
- Severity: MEDIUM
- CVSS Score: 4.3
- CVSS Vector: (Potentially AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N – This is an educated guess based on typical CSRF vulnerabilities. The exact vector may vary.)
The CVSS score of 4.3 indicates a Medium severity vulnerability. The attack vector is network-based (AV:N), the attack complexity is low (AC:L), no privileges are required (PR:N), user interaction is required (UI:R), the scope is unchanged (S:U), there is no impact to confidentiality (C:N), low integrity impact (I:L) and no impact to availability (A:N).
Possible Impact
The impact of this vulnerability can vary depending on the privileges of the targeted user and the functionality exposed through the vulnerable function. Possible consequences include:
- Unauthorized modification of user accounts or settings.
- Creation of new administrative accounts.
- Data manipulation or deletion.
- Potential compromise of systems managed by fit2cloud Halo.
Mitigation or Patch Steps
Unfortunately, as the vendor has not responded, there is currently no official patch available. Until a patch is released, the following mitigation steps are recommended:
- Implement CSRF protection mechanisms: If possible, implement CSRF protection tokens or referer header checking within fit2cloud Halo (if you have the capability to modify the application).
- User Awareness: Educate users about the risks of clicking on suspicious links or opening attachments from unknown sources.
- Web Application Firewall (WAF): Deploy a WAF with CSRF protection rules to filter out malicious requests.
- Monitor for Suspicious Activity: Closely monitor fit2cloud Halo logs for any unusual activity or unauthorized actions.
- Consider alternative solutions: If the risk is too high, consider migrating to a different solution.
