CVE-2025-31062 is a medium-severity vulnerability classified under CWE-497, which pertains to the Exposure of Sensitive System Information to an Unauthorized Control Sphere. This vulnerability affects the 'Wishlist' product developed by redqteam, specifically versions up to 2.1.0. The issue allows an attacker with low privileges (PR:L) and no user interaction (UI:N) to remotely retrieve embedded sensitive data over a network (AV:N). The vulnerability does not impact system integrity or availability but compromises confidentiality by exposing sensitive system information that should remain protected. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 4.3, reflecting a moderate risk primarily due to the ease of remote exploitation without user interaction, although requiring some level of privilege. No patches or known exploits are currently reported in the wild. The exposure of sensitive data could include configuration details, credentials, or other embedded secrets within the Wishlist application, which could be leveraged for further attacks or unauthorized access.

For European organizations using the redqteam Wishlist product, this vulnerability poses a risk of unauthorized disclosure of sensitive information. Exposure of embedded sensitive data can lead to information leakage that may facilitate lateral movement, privilege escalation, or targeted attacks against the affected systems. Organizations handling personal data or operating under strict data protection regulations such as GDPR could face compliance risks and potential reputational damage if sensitive information is leaked. Additionally, if the exposed data includes credentials or API keys, attackers could exploit these to access other internal resources or services, increasing the scope of compromise. The medium severity indicates that while the immediate impact is limited to confidentiality, the downstream effects could be significant depending on the nature of the exposed data and the organization's security posture.

Given the absence of an official patch, European organizations should implement compensating controls to mitigate risk. These include: 1) Restricting network access to the Wishlist application to trusted internal networks or VPNs to reduce exposure to remote attackers. 2) Implementing strict access controls and monitoring on accounts with privileges to the Wishlist system to prevent unauthorized access. 3) Conducting thorough audits of the application configuration and embedded data to identify and remove or encrypt sensitive information where possible. 4) Employing Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) with custom rules to detect and block suspicious requests targeting sensitive data retrieval endpoints. 5) Monitoring logs for unusual access patterns or data exfiltration attempts related to the Wishlist application. 6) Planning for prompt application updates once a patch becomes available from redqteam. 7) Educating relevant personnel on the risks and detection methods associated with this vulnerability to enhance incident response readiness.
