CVE-2025-34467: CWE-667 Improper Locking in fredtempez ZwiiCMS
ZwiiCMS versions prior to 13.7.00 contain a denial-of-service vulnerability in multiple administrative endpoints due to improper authorization checks combined with flawed resource state management. When an authenticated low-privilege user requests an administrative page, the application returns "404 Not Found" as expected, but incorrectly acquires and associates a temporary lock on the targeted resource with the attacker session prior to authorization. This lock prevents other users, including administrators, from accessing the affected functionality until the attacker navigates away or the session is terminated.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2025-34467 describes a denial-of-service vulnerability in ZwiiCMS before version 13.7.00. The issue arises from improper locking behavior combined with insufficient authorization checks on multiple administrative endpoints. When a low-privilege authenticated user requests an admin page, the system incorrectly acquires a temporary lock on the resource despite denying access (returning 404). This lock remains associated with the attacker's session and prevents legitimate users from accessing the affected functionality until the session terminates or the attacker leaves the page.
Potential Impact
The vulnerability allows an authenticated low-privilege user to cause a denial-of-service condition by locking administrative resources, effectively blocking administrators and other users from accessing certain functionality. This could disrupt administrative operations but does not allow privilege escalation or data compromise according to the provided data.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until a fix is available, restrict authenticated user access to administrative endpoints and monitor for unusual locking behavior. Avoid relying on the affected versions in production environments.
