CVE-2025-10759 is a medium-severity authorization bypass vulnerability affecting Webkul's QloApps versions up to 1.7.0. QloApps is a hotel booking and reservation management system widely used by hospitality businesses. The vulnerability arises from improper handling of the CSRF (Cross-Site Request Forgery) token parameter within an unspecified function of the CSRF Token Handler component. By manipulating the token argument, an attacker can bypass authorization controls remotely without requiring authentication or user interaction. This means that an attacker can potentially perform actions or access resources that should be restricted, undermining the integrity of access controls. The CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:L/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:P) indicates that the attack can be executed remotely over the network with low complexity, no privileges, and no user interaction, causing a low impact on integrity but no impact on confidentiality or availability. The vulnerability is publicly disclosed, and although no known exploits are reported in the wild yet, the availability of public exploit code increases the risk of exploitation. The vendor is aware and working on a fix to be included in the next major release, but no patch is currently available. Organizations using affected versions remain exposed to potential attacks that could allow unauthorized actions within the QloApps system, potentially leading to fraudulent bookings, unauthorized data modifications, or other malicious activities.

For European organizations, especially those in the hospitality sector using QloApps for hotel and accommodation management, this vulnerability poses a significant risk. Unauthorized access or actions could lead to manipulation of booking data, financial fraud, disruption of reservation services, and damage to customer trust. Since the vulnerability does not require authentication, attackers can exploit it remotely, increasing the attack surface. The integrity of booking and customer data could be compromised, potentially violating data protection regulations such as GDPR if personal data is altered or exposed indirectly. Operational disruptions could affect service availability indirectly by causing administrative confusion or forcing emergency downtime to mitigate attacks. The medium severity reflects the limited impact on confidentiality and availability but highlights the risk to data integrity and business processes critical to hospitality operations.

Given the absence of an official patch, European organizations should implement immediate compensating controls. These include: 1) Restricting network access to the QloApps management interfaces by IP whitelisting or VPN-only access to reduce exposure to remote attackers. 2) Implementing Web Application Firewall (WAF) rules to detect and block suspicious requests with manipulated CSRF tokens or abnormal request patterns targeting QloApps endpoints. 3) Monitoring logs for unusual activities indicative of authorization bypass attempts, such as unexpected changes or access patterns. 4) Temporarily disabling or limiting functionalities that rely on the vulnerable CSRF token handler if feasible. 5) Planning and testing an upgrade path to the next major QloApps release once the vendor releases the patch. 6) Educating staff to recognize and report anomalies in booking or administrative operations that may indicate exploitation. These targeted mitigations go beyond generic advice by focusing on access control hardening, active detection, and operational awareness specific to this vulnerability.
