CVE-2025-47545 is a medium-severity vulnerability classified under CWE-362, which involves a race condition due to improper synchronization during concurrent execution of shared resources in the Ays Pro Poll Maker software. Specifically, this vulnerability arises when multiple processes or threads access and manipulate shared data or resources without adequate locking or synchronization mechanisms, leading to inconsistent or unexpected behavior. The affected product is Poll Maker by Ays Pro, with versions up to 5.7.7 impacted. The vulnerability allows an attacker to leverage race conditions to potentially alter the integrity of the application’s data or state. According to the CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N), the attack can be performed remotely over the network without any privileges or user interaction, and it does not impact confidentiality or availability but does affect integrity. No known exploits are currently reported in the wild, and no patches have been linked yet. The vulnerability was published on May 7, 2025, and is recognized by CISA enrichment, indicating its relevance to cybersecurity authorities. Race conditions in web applications like Poll Maker can lead to data corruption, unauthorized manipulation of poll results, or other integrity violations, which could undermine trust in the polling process or lead to incorrect decision-making based on tampered data.

For European organizations using Ays Pro Poll Maker, this vulnerability could undermine the integrity of polling data, which may be critical for internal decision-making, customer feedback, or public opinion analysis. Organizations relying on Poll Maker for surveys or polls risk data manipulation if attackers exploit the race condition, potentially leading to erroneous conclusions or reputational damage. Since the vulnerability does not affect confidentiality or availability, direct data breaches or service outages are less likely; however, integrity violations can still have significant operational and strategic consequences. Public sector entities, research institutions, marketing firms, and any organization conducting polls or surveys in Europe could be affected. The remote and unauthenticated nature of the exploit increases the risk of widespread abuse, especially if the software is exposed to the internet. The lack of user interaction requirement further facilitates exploitation. Although no active exploits are known, the medium severity and ease of exploitation warrant proactive mitigation to prevent future attacks.

European organizations should immediately audit their use of Ays Pro Poll Maker to identify affected versions (up to 5.7.7). Since no official patches are currently available, organizations should implement compensating controls such as restricting network access to the Poll Maker application to trusted internal users only, employing web application firewalls (WAFs) to detect and block suspicious concurrent request patterns, and monitoring application logs for abnormal concurrent access or data inconsistencies. Developers or administrators should review and enhance synchronization mechanisms within the application if source code access is available, ensuring proper locking around shared resources to prevent race conditions. Additionally, organizations should consider isolating Poll Maker instances in segmented network zones to limit exposure. Regular integrity checks on poll data and results can help detect tampering early. Finally, maintain close communication with the vendor for timely patch releases and apply updates promptly once available.
