Deeper analysis

CVE-2025-25950 is an incorrect access control vulnerability affecting the /rest/staffResource/update component in Serosoft Solutions Pvt Ltd's Academia Student Information System (SIS) EagleR version 1.0.118. Published on 2025-03-03, the flaw enables unauthorized creation and modification of user accounts, including Administrator accounts, due to improper enforcement of access controls. It carries a CVSS v3.1 base score of 8.1 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:N) and maps to CWE-284 (Improper Access Control).

The vulnerability can be exploited by a low-privileged (PR:L) authenticated user over the network (AV:N) with low attack complexity (AC:L) and no user interaction (UI:N). Exploitation allows the attacker to create or modify accounts, including escalating privileges to Administrator level, resulting in high impacts to confidentiality (C:H) and integrity (I:H) without affecting availability (A:N).

Mitigating Controls

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

AC-3 Access Enforcement good match
prevent

Directly enforces approved authorizations to prevent low-privileged users from creating or modifying user accounts, including Administrator accounts, via the vulnerable /rest/staffResource/update endpoint.

AC-2 Account Management good match
prevent

Establishes processes for managing account creation, modification, and deletion to ensure only authorized entities can perform these actions, mitigating unauthorized account changes.

AC-6 Least Privilege good match
prevent

Enforces least privilege to restrict low-privileged users from accessing or executing high-privilege functions like account administration exploited in this vulnerability.
