CVE-2025-10759 is a medium-severity authorization bypass vulnerability affecting Webkul QloApps versions 1.0 through 1.7.0. QloApps is an open-source hotel booking and reservation system widely used by hospitality businesses to manage room bookings and customer data. The vulnerability resides in the CSRF Token Handler component, where manipulation of the token argument allows an attacker to bypass authorization controls. This flaw enables an unauthenticated remote attacker to perform actions that should require proper authorization, potentially accessing or modifying sensitive data or functionality without permission. The CVSS 4.0 base score is 6.9, reflecting a network attack vector with low attack complexity, no privileges or user interaction required, and limited impact on integrity (low) but no impact on confidentiality or availability. The vendor is aware and working on a fix to be included in the next major release, but no patch is currently available. No known exploits are reported in the wild yet, but the exploit code is publicly available, increasing the risk of exploitation. The vulnerability’s root cause is improper validation or verification of CSRF tokens, which are intended to prevent cross-site request forgery attacks by ensuring that requests originate from legitimate users. By manipulating the token parameter, attackers can circumvent these protections and gain unauthorized access to restricted functions or data within QloApps.

For European organizations using QloApps, especially those in the hospitality sector managing hotel bookings and customer information, this vulnerability poses a significant risk. Unauthorized access could lead to manipulation of booking data, unauthorized changes to reservations, or exposure of customer personal data, potentially violating GDPR requirements. The ability to bypass authorization remotely without authentication increases the attack surface, making it easier for attackers to exploit the system. This could result in operational disruptions, financial losses, reputational damage, and regulatory penalties. Since QloApps is used by small to medium-sized hotels and travel agencies, many of which operate in Europe, the impact could be widespread if not mitigated promptly. The lack of an immediate patch means organizations must rely on interim controls to reduce risk. Additionally, the public availability of exploit code increases the likelihood of attacks targeting vulnerable installations in Europe.

European organizations should immediately audit their QloApps installations to identify affected versions (1.0 through 1.7.0). Until an official patch is released, organizations should implement compensating controls such as: 1) Restricting network access to the QloApps management interface to trusted IP addresses or VPNs to limit exposure. 2) Implementing Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) with custom rules to detect and block suspicious requests manipulating CSRF tokens or unusual request patterns. 3) Monitoring logs for anomalous activities indicative of authorization bypass attempts. 4) Enforcing strict user access controls and segregating duties to minimize potential damage from compromised accounts. 5) Regularly backing up critical data to enable recovery in case of compromise. 6) Engaging with Webkul support to receive updates and apply the official patch promptly once available. Additionally, organizations should educate staff about the risk and ensure that security policies are updated to reflect this vulnerability.
