CVE-2025-47480 is a Missing Authorization vulnerability (CWE-862) identified in the Iqonic Design product Graphina, affecting versions up to 3.0.4. This vulnerability arises from incorrectly configured access control security levels, allowing an attacker with limited privileges (PR:L) to perform unauthorized actions that should be restricted. The CVSS v3.1 base score is 5.4 (medium severity), with the vector indicating that the attack can be performed remotely over the network (AV:N), requires low attack complexity (AC:L), needs privileges (PR:L), does not require user interaction (UI:N), and impacts integrity and availability (I:L, A:L) but not confidentiality (C:N). The vulnerability does not require user interaction and can be exploited remotely by an authenticated user with limited privileges, potentially allowing them to escalate their privileges or disrupt service availability. No known exploits are currently reported in the wild, and no patches have been linked yet. The root cause is a failure to enforce proper authorization checks, which means that certain sensitive operations or data modifications can be performed by users who should not have permission to do so. This type of vulnerability is critical in web applications or plugins where role-based access control is essential to maintain security boundaries between users.

For European organizations using Graphina, especially those integrating it into their web platforms or content management systems, this vulnerability could lead to unauthorized modification or deletion of data, service disruption, or privilege escalation within the application. The impact on integrity and availability could affect business operations, customer trust, and compliance with data protection regulations such as GDPR. Since the vulnerability does not impact confidentiality directly, data leakage risk is lower, but the ability to alter or disrupt data and services can still cause significant operational and reputational damage. Organizations relying on Graphina for critical web functionalities may experience downtime or compromised service integrity, which could affect e-commerce, customer engagement, or internal workflows. The requirement for low privileges to exploit the vulnerability increases the risk, as attackers do not need administrative access initially, making insider threats or compromised low-level accounts a significant concern.

European organizations should immediately review their use of Graphina and implement strict access control policies to limit user privileges to the minimum necessary. Until an official patch is released, consider disabling or restricting access to features known to be affected by this vulnerability. Conduct thorough audits of user roles and permissions within Graphina to detect any misconfigurations. Employ web application firewalls (WAFs) to monitor and block suspicious activities that attempt unauthorized actions. Additionally, implement multi-factor authentication (MFA) to reduce the risk of compromised credentials being used to exploit this vulnerability. Regularly monitor logs for unusual access patterns or privilege escalations. Once a patch is available, prioritize its deployment and test it in a controlled environment before production rollout. Engage with the vendor for updates and guidance. Finally, educate users about the risks of privilege misuse and enforce strict policies around account management.
