CVE-2025-0670 is a medium-severity vulnerability classified under CWE-639, which pertains to Authorization Bypass Through User-Controlled Key in the Akinsoft ProKuafor software. This vulnerability affects versions from s1.02.07 before v1.02.08. The core issue involves improper authorization controls where a user can manipulate a key or token that controls access, allowing them to bypass intended authorization checks. This can lead to unauthorized access to resources or functions within the application that should be restricted. Additionally, the vulnerability results in resource leak exposure, which could mean sensitive information or system resources are inadvertently exposed or consumed due to the bypass. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 4.7, indicating a medium severity level, with the vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:L. This means the attack can be performed remotely over the network with low attack complexity but requires high privileges (PR:H) and no user interaction. The impact affects confidentiality, integrity, and availability to a limited extent (low impact on each). No known exploits are currently reported in the wild, and no patches have been linked yet. The vulnerability is specific to the Akinsoft ProKuafor product, a software solution likely used in the hairdressing or salon management sector, given the product name and vendor profile. The authorization bypass could allow privileged users to escalate or circumvent controls, potentially leading to unauthorized data access or manipulation and resource exhaustion or leakage.

For European organizations using Akinsoft ProKuafor, this vulnerability poses a risk of unauthorized access to sensitive business data or operational functions within the software. Although exploitation requires high privileges, an insider threat or compromised privileged account could leverage this flaw to bypass authorization controls, leading to data leakage, unauthorized modifications, or disruption of service. Resource leak exposure could degrade system performance or availability, impacting business continuity. Given the niche nature of the product, the impact is likely concentrated in small to medium enterprises in the hairdressing or salon management sector. However, any breach of customer data or operational disruption could have reputational and regulatory consequences under GDPR. The medium severity suggests that while the vulnerability is not trivially exploitable by external attackers without privileges, it still requires prompt attention to prevent insider misuse or privilege escalation scenarios.

1. Immediate mitigation should include restricting and monitoring privileged accounts with access to the ProKuafor system to minimize the risk of insider exploitation. 2. Implement rigorous access control auditing and logging to detect any anomalous authorization bypass attempts. 3. Since no official patch is currently linked, organizations should contact Akinsoft for updates or workarounds and apply any forthcoming patches promptly. 4. Employ network segmentation and firewall rules to limit access to the ProKuafor system only to trusted internal users and systems. 5. Conduct regular security reviews and penetration testing focusing on authorization mechanisms within the application. 6. Educate privileged users about the risks of misuse and enforce the principle of least privilege. 7. Monitor system resource usage to detect potential resource leaks early and respond accordingly.
