Threat & Defense at a Glance

What attackers do: exploitation maps to Exploitation for Privilege Escalation (T1068) and 3 other techniques. What defenders deploy: see the NIST 800-53 controls recommended below.

Threat & Defense Details

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.

MITRE ATT&CK Enterprise TechniquesAI

T1068 Exploitation for Privilege Escalation Privilege Escalation

Adversaries may exploit software vulnerabilities in an attempt to elevate privileges.

attack.mitre.org →

T1098 Account Manipulation Persistence

Adversaries may manipulate accounts to maintain and/or elevate access to victim systems.

attack.mitre.org →

T1136 Create Account Persistence

Adversaries may create an account to maintain access to victim systems.

attack.mitre.org →

T1190 Exploit Public-Facing Application Initial Access

Adversaries may attempt to exploit a weakness in an Internet-facing host or system to initially access a network.

attack.mitre.org →

Why these techniques?

Direct improper access control on account management REST endpoint enables unauthorized account creation/modification (T1136/T1098), resulting in privilege escalation (T1068) via exploitation of a network-exposed web application (T1190).

Deeper analysisAI

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).
