CVE-2025-30997 is a Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) vulnerability identified in SmartDataSoft's Car Repair Services software, affecting versions up to 5.0. SSRF vulnerabilities occur when an attacker can manipulate a server to make unintended requests to internal or external resources. In this case, the vulnerability allows an unauthenticated attacker to induce the server to send crafted requests, potentially accessing or interacting with internal systems that are otherwise inaccessible from the outside. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 5.4, indicating a medium severity level. The vector string (AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N) shows that the attack can be performed remotely over the network without privileges or user interaction, but requires high attack complexity. The impact affects confidentiality and integrity at a low level, with no impact on availability. The scope is changed, meaning the vulnerability can affect resources beyond the vulnerable component. Although no known exploits are reported in the wild yet, the presence of SSRF in a web-facing service that handles car repair data could allow attackers to probe internal networks, access sensitive information, or pivot to other systems. The lack of available patches at the time of publication increases the risk for organizations using this software. Given the nature of the product, which likely integrates with customer data, vehicle information, and possibly payment or scheduling systems, exploitation could lead to unauthorized data disclosure or manipulation of service workflows.

For European organizations using SmartDataSoft Car Repair Services, this SSRF vulnerability poses a risk of unauthorized internal network reconnaissance and potential data leakage. Confidentiality could be compromised if attackers access internal APIs, databases, or cloud metadata services. Integrity risks arise if attackers manipulate requests to alter data or service behavior. Although availability is not directly impacted, the indirect effects of data breaches or unauthorized access could disrupt business operations. Organizations in the automotive repair sector, including dealerships and service centers, may face regulatory compliance challenges under GDPR if personal or vehicle data is exposed. The medium severity score suggests that while exploitation is not trivial, the potential for lateral movement within internal networks elevates the threat. Since the vulnerability does not require authentication or user interaction, attackers can attempt exploitation remotely, increasing the attack surface. The absence of known exploits currently provides a window for mitigation before active attacks emerge.

European organizations should immediately assess their deployment of SmartDataSoft Car Repair Services and identify affected versions. Until patches are available, implement network-level controls to restrict outbound HTTP/HTTPS requests from the application server to only trusted destinations, minimizing SSRF exploitation vectors. Employ web application firewalls (WAFs) with rules designed to detect and block SSRF patterns, such as unusual URL parameters or requests targeting internal IP ranges. Conduct thorough input validation and sanitization on any user-supplied URLs or parameters that the application uses to make server-side requests. Monitor logs for anomalous request patterns indicative of SSRF attempts, including requests to internal IP addresses or metadata endpoints. Engage with SmartDataSoft for timely patch releases and apply updates promptly once available. Additionally, segment internal networks to limit the impact of any SSRF exploitation, ensuring critical systems are isolated from the application server environment. Regularly review and update incident response plans to include SSRF scenarios.
