CVE-2025-10980 is a security vulnerability identified in JeecgBoot versions up to 3.8.2, specifically affecting an unspecified function within the /sys/position/exportXls endpoint. The vulnerability is classified as improper authorization, meaning that the application fails to correctly enforce access control policies for this function. This flaw allows an attacker to remotely exploit the vulnerability without requiring user interaction or elevated privileges, as indicated by the CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/UI:N/PR:L). The vulnerability does not require authentication but does require low privileges (PR:L), suggesting that an attacker with minimal access could leverage this flaw to perform unauthorized actions related to data export functionality. The improper authorization could potentially allow unauthorized data access or export, leading to confidentiality breaches. The CVSS 4.0 base score is 5.3 (medium severity), reflecting a moderate impact primarily on confidentiality with limited impact on integrity and availability. The vendor has been contacted but has not responded or provided a patch, and no known exploits are currently reported in the wild. The vulnerability's remote exploitability and lack of vendor response increase the risk for organizations using affected versions of JeecgBoot, especially since the exportXls function likely handles sensitive data exports, which could be exfiltrated by attackers exploiting this flaw.

For European organizations using JeecgBoot versions 3.8.0 through 3.8.2, this vulnerability poses a moderate risk of unauthorized data exposure. Given that JeecgBoot is an enterprise-level rapid development platform often used for building business applications, the improper authorization in the exportXls function could allow attackers to extract sensitive business or personal data without proper permissions. This could lead to breaches of GDPR and other data protection regulations, resulting in legal penalties and reputational damage. The remote exploitability without user interaction means attackers can automate attacks, increasing the risk of widespread data leaks. The lack of vendor response and patches further exacerbates the threat, as organizations must rely on workarounds or mitigations. The impact is particularly significant for sectors handling sensitive personal or financial data, such as finance, healthcare, and public administration within Europe. While the vulnerability does not directly affect system integrity or availability, the confidentiality breach alone can have severe consequences under European data protection laws.

Given the absence of official patches, European organizations should implement the following specific mitigations: 1) Immediately audit and restrict access controls on the /sys/position/exportXls endpoint to ensure only authorized users can invoke this function, potentially by implementing additional authentication or IP whitelisting at the web server or application firewall level. 2) Employ Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) with custom rules to detect and block suspicious requests targeting the exportXls endpoint. 3) Monitor logs for unusual or unauthorized export activity, focusing on access patterns to the vulnerable endpoint. 4) If feasible, disable or restrict the exportXls functionality temporarily until a patch is available. 5) Conduct internal code reviews or penetration tests to identify any other improper authorization issues in the application. 6) Engage with the JeecgBoot community or consider upgrading to a later version if and when a patch is released. 7) Educate internal teams about the vulnerability and enforce strict privilege management to minimize the risk of exploitation. These targeted measures go beyond generic advice by focusing on access control hardening and monitoring specific to the vulnerable function.
