CVE-2025-4210 is a critical security vulnerability identified in Casdoor, an open-source identity and access management (IAM) platform, specifically affecting versions up to 1.811.0. The vulnerability resides in the HandleScim function within the controllers/scim.go file, which handles the SCIM (System for Cross-domain Identity Management) User Creation Endpoint. This endpoint is responsible for provisioning and managing user identities via standardized SCIM protocols. The flaw allows an attacker to bypass authorization controls remotely without requiring authentication or user interaction. By exploiting this vulnerability, an attacker can manipulate requests to the SCIM endpoint to create or modify user accounts without proper permissions, potentially escalating privileges or gaining unauthorized access to protected resources. The vulnerability has a CVSS 4.0 base score of 6.9, categorized as medium severity, reflecting its network attack vector, low attack complexity, and no requirement for privileges or user interaction. However, the impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability is rated as low individually, which collectively moderates the overall severity. The vulnerability does not require authentication or user interaction, making it easier to exploit remotely. The issue is addressed by upgrading Casdoor to version 1.812.0, which includes a patch identified by commit 3d12ac8dc2282369296c3386815c00a06c6a92fe. No known exploits are currently reported in the wild, but the critical nature of authorization bypass in identity management systems warrants prompt remediation. Given Casdoor's role in managing user identities and access, exploitation could lead to unauthorized account creation or modification, undermining organizational security controls and potentially facilitating further attacks within compromised environments.

For European organizations, the exploitation of CVE-2025-4210 could have significant security implications, especially for those relying on Casdoor for identity and access management. Unauthorized user creation or modification can lead to privilege escalation, unauthorized access to sensitive data, and disruption of normal operations. This could compromise confidentiality by exposing personal or corporate data, integrity by allowing unauthorized changes to user permissions, and availability if malicious accounts are used to disrupt services. Organizations in sectors with strict regulatory requirements, such as finance, healthcare, and government, may face compliance violations and reputational damage if exploited. Additionally, attackers could leverage compromised identities to move laterally within networks, increasing the risk of broader breaches. The medium CVSS score suggests the vulnerability is exploitable but with limited direct impact on system availability or data confidentiality individually; however, the cumulative effect on identity management systems can be substantial. European entities using Casdoor in cloud environments or hybrid infrastructures are particularly at risk due to the remote exploitability of this flaw.

1. Immediate upgrade to Casdoor version 1.812.0 or later to apply the official patch addressing the authorization bypass in the SCIM User Creation Endpoint. 2. Implement strict network segmentation and firewall rules to restrict access to the SCIM endpoint only to trusted IP addresses or internal networks, reducing exposure to remote attacks. 3. Enable detailed logging and monitoring of SCIM API calls to detect anomalous user creation or modification activities indicative of exploitation attempts. 4. Conduct regular audits of user accounts and permissions to identify unauthorized or suspicious entries promptly. 5. Employ multi-factor authentication (MFA) and role-based access control (RBAC) within Casdoor to limit the impact of any unauthorized account creation. 6. If immediate upgrade is not feasible, consider temporarily disabling or restricting the SCIM User Creation Endpoint until the patch can be applied. 7. Integrate Casdoor with Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) systems to correlate and alert on unusual identity management activities. 8. Educate IT and security teams about this specific vulnerability to ensure rapid response and remediation.
