Summary

CVE-2025-26058 is a medium-severity Use of HTTP Request With Sensitive Query String (CWE-598) vulnerability in Webkul Qloapps. Its CVSS base score is 4.2 (Medium).

Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Network Sniffing (T1040); ranked at the 12th percentile by exploit likelihood (below the median); it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog; a public proof-of-concept is referenced.

The strongest mitigations our analysis identified map to IA-5 (Authenticator Management) and SC-8 (Transmission Confidentiality and Integrity) — see the control section below for these in your framework.

Why these techniques?

The vulnerability exposes sensitive authentication tokens in publicly accessible URL redirects, enabling exploitation of public-facing web applications (T1190), network sniffing (T1040), extraction from web server/proxy logs (T1081, T1552.001), browser history (T1555.003), and subsequent use of valid accounts (T1078) for session hijacking and unauthorized admin access.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

SC-8 Transmission Confidentiality and Integrity good match

prevent

Requires cryptographic protection of information (including auth tokens) during transmission, directly preventing exposure via URLs.

IA-5 Authenticator Management good match

prevent

Mandates secure authenticator management that prohibits embedding tokens in URLs or other observable locations.

AC-3 Access Enforcement partial match

prevent

Enforces access decisions using mechanisms that must not leak credentials in redirect URLs.

PR.PS-06 mostly match

prevents

Secure SDLC practices directly prevent embedding sensitive data in query strings as part of input-handling and data-flow design.

PR.DS-02 partial match

prevents

HTTPS encryption protects query strings in transit but does not address the root design flaw of placing sensitive data in URLs.
