CVE-2025-25143 identifies a Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerability in the ibasit GlobalQuran application, affecting all versions up to 1.0. CSRF vulnerabilities occur when a web application does not properly verify that requests made to it originate from authenticated and intended users, allowing attackers to craft malicious web pages or links that cause authenticated users to unknowingly perform actions on the vulnerable site. In this case, GlobalQuran lacks sufficient CSRF protections, such as anti-CSRF tokens or proper origin checks, enabling attackers to exploit the trust a web application places in the user's browser. The vulnerability was published on February 7, 2025, with no CVSS score assigned and no known active exploits. The absence of patches or vendor-provided fixes at the time of publication indicates that users must rely on mitigation strategies until an official update is available. The vulnerability primarily threatens the integrity of user actions, potentially allowing unauthorized changes or commands to be executed within the GlobalQuran application context. Since the attack requires the victim to be authenticated and to visit a malicious site, the attack vector depends on social engineering or phishing techniques. The vulnerability does not directly impact confidentiality or availability but can lead to unauthorized state changes or data manipulation within the application.

The primary impact of CVE-2025-25143 is on the integrity of the GlobalQuran application and its users' data. Attackers can exploit this vulnerability to perform unauthorized actions on behalf of authenticated users, such as modifying user settings, submitting forms, or triggering other state-changing operations without user consent. This can lead to data corruption, unauthorized transactions, or manipulation of user-specific content. While confidentiality and availability are less likely to be directly affected, the trustworthiness of the application is compromised, potentially damaging user confidence and organizational reputation. For organizations relying on GlobalQuran, especially those providing religious or community services, such unauthorized actions could disrupt service reliability and user experience. The lack of known exploits suggests limited immediate risk, but the vulnerability remains exploitable if attackers develop proof-of-concept attacks. The scope is limited to users authenticated in the GlobalQuran application, and exploitation requires user interaction (visiting a malicious site).

To mitigate CVE-2025-25143, organizations should implement robust anti-CSRF protections immediately. This includes adding unique, unpredictable anti-CSRF tokens to all state-changing requests and validating these tokens server-side. Additionally, enforcing strict SameSite cookie attributes can reduce the risk of CSRF by restricting cross-origin requests. Validating the HTTP Referer or Origin headers for sensitive operations can provide an additional layer of defense. User education is critical; users should be trained to avoid clicking suspicious links or visiting untrusted websites while authenticated. Network-level protections such as web application firewalls (WAFs) can be configured to detect and block CSRF attack patterns. Organizations should monitor vendor communications for patches or updates addressing this vulnerability and apply them promptly once available. Regular security assessments and code reviews focusing on CSRF protections in web applications are recommended to prevent similar vulnerabilities.
