CVE-2025-11051 is a Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerability identified in SourceCodester Pet Grooming Management Software version 1.0. CSRF vulnerabilities allow an attacker to trick an authenticated user into submitting unauthorized requests to a web application in which they are currently authenticated. This can lead to unintended actions being performed on behalf of the user without their consent. The vulnerability affects unknown code within the application, but the nature of the flaw permits remote exploitation without requiring any privileges or authentication. The CVSS 4.0 base score is 5.3 (medium severity), reflecting that the attack vector is network-based, requires no privileges, and no authentication, but does require user interaction (e.g., clicking a malicious link). The impact on confidentiality is none, integrity impact is low, and availability impact is none. The vulnerability does not involve scope changes or security requirements. No known exploits are currently in the wild, and no patches or mitigations have been officially published yet. Given the software's niche use in pet grooming management, the attack surface is limited to organizations using this specific product version. However, successful exploitation could allow attackers to perform unauthorized state-changing operations, potentially disrupting business processes or manipulating data within the affected system.

For European organizations using SourceCodester Pet Grooming Management Software 1.0, this vulnerability could lead to unauthorized actions being performed on their management platform, potentially resulting in data manipulation, disruption of scheduling, or unauthorized changes to customer or business data. While the confidentiality impact is minimal, integrity could be compromised, affecting trustworthiness of records and operational reliability. This could have downstream effects on customer satisfaction and regulatory compliance, especially under GDPR if personal data is affected. The medium severity rating suggests a moderate risk, but the lack of known exploits and the requirement for user interaction reduce the immediacy of the threat. Nonetheless, organizations relying on this software should consider the risk of targeted attacks, especially if their business processes are heavily dependent on the affected system.

Organizations should implement specific mitigations beyond generic advice: 1) Immediately review and restrict the use of SourceCodester Pet Grooming Management Software version 1.0, considering upgrading to a patched version once available or switching to alternative software. 2) Implement anti-CSRF tokens in all state-changing requests within the application to prevent unauthorized requests. 3) Educate users about the risks of clicking on suspicious links or visiting untrusted websites while authenticated to the management software. 4) Employ web application firewalls (WAFs) with rules designed to detect and block CSRF attack patterns targeting this software. 5) Monitor logs for unusual or unauthorized actions that could indicate exploitation attempts. 6) Segment the network to limit access to the management software only to trusted users and devices. 7) If possible, disable or limit browser sessions' persistence to reduce the window of opportunity for CSRF attacks.
