CVE-2025-10980 is a medium-severity security vulnerability identified in JeecgBoot versions up to 3.8.2. JeecgBoot is an open-source rapid development platform widely used for enterprise applications. The vulnerability arises from improper authorization checks in an unspecified function within the /sys/position/exportXls endpoint. This flaw allows an attacker to remotely exploit the system without requiring user interaction or prior authentication, as indicated by the CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/UI:N/PR:L). The vulnerability enables unauthorized access to functionality that should be restricted, potentially allowing attackers to export data or perform actions beyond their privileges. Although the exact nature of the data or operations accessible via this endpoint is not detailed, the exportXls naming suggests the ability to extract data in Excel format, which could lead to unauthorized data disclosure or leakage of sensitive information. The vendor has not responded to early notifications about this issue, and no patches or mitigations have been published at this time. While there are no known exploits in the wild yet, the public disclosure of the exploit code increases the risk of exploitation by threat actors. The vulnerability does not impact confidentiality, integrity, or availability at a high level (CVSS 5.3, medium severity), but the ease of remote exploitation and lack of authentication requirements make it a notable risk for affected deployments.

For European organizations using JeecgBoot, especially those relying on versions 3.8.0 through 3.8.2, this vulnerability poses a risk of unauthorized data exposure or privilege escalation within internal systems. Given that the vulnerability allows remote exploitation without user interaction or authentication, attackers could potentially extract sensitive business or personal data, violating data protection regulations such as GDPR. This could lead to regulatory penalties, reputational damage, and operational disruptions. Organizations in sectors with high compliance requirements (e.g., finance, healthcare, government) are particularly at risk. Additionally, if the exported data includes personally identifiable information (PII) or confidential corporate data, the impact on confidentiality could be significant. The lack of vendor response and absence of patches increase the urgency for organizations to implement compensating controls. The medium severity rating suggests that while the vulnerability is not critical, it should not be ignored, especially in environments where JeecgBoot is integrated with sensitive backend systems or exposed to external networks.

Since no official patches or vendor guidance are currently available, European organizations should take immediate steps to mitigate risk: 1) Restrict network access to the /sys/position/exportXls endpoint by implementing firewall rules or web application firewall (WAF) policies to limit access only to trusted internal IP addresses or authenticated users. 2) Employ strict access control and monitoring on the affected JeecgBoot instances, including logging and alerting on unusual export or data access activities. 3) Conduct a thorough audit of user privileges and remove unnecessary permissions to minimize the impact of improper authorization. 4) If feasible, temporarily disable or restrict the exportXls functionality until a patch or official fix is released. 5) Monitor threat intelligence sources for any emerging exploit activity and be prepared to apply patches promptly once available. 6) Consider deploying runtime application self-protection (RASP) solutions to detect and block unauthorized access attempts in real time. 7) Educate development and security teams about this vulnerability to ensure rapid response and remediation planning.
