CVE-2025-49294 is a vulnerability identified in the CodeRevolution Crawlomatic Multisite Scraper Post Generator, a tool used for scraping and generating posts across multiple sites. The vulnerability is classified under CWE-201, which involves the insertion of sensitive information into sent data. Specifically, this flaw allows an attacker to retrieve embedded sensitive data that should not be exposed during the normal operation of the software. The affected versions include all versions up to 2.6.8.2, with no specific lower bound version identified. The vulnerability has a CVSS v3.1 base score of 5.3, indicating a medium severity level. The vector string CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N indicates that the vulnerability is remotely exploitable over the network without requiring authentication or user interaction, with low attack complexity. The impact is limited to confidentiality, as the attacker can retrieve sensitive information, but there is no impact on integrity or availability. No known exploits are currently reported in the wild, and no patches have been linked yet. The vulnerability likely arises from the software embedding sensitive data into outgoing communications or data streams in an insecure manner, allowing unauthorized parties to intercept or access this information. This could include API responses, HTTP requests, or other data transmissions generated by the scraper post generator. Since the vulnerability does not require authentication or user interaction, it could be exploited by remote attackers scanning for vulnerable instances exposed on the internet or within internal networks.

For European organizations using the Crawlomatic Multisite Scraper Post Generator, this vulnerability poses a risk of unauthorized disclosure of sensitive information. Such information could include credentials, API keys, internal configuration data, or other confidential details embedded in the transmitted data. Exposure of this information could lead to further attacks such as account compromise, data leakage, or unauthorized access to connected systems. Organizations relying on this tool for content scraping or post generation may inadvertently expose sensitive operational data, which could damage their reputation and violate data protection regulations such as GDPR if personal or sensitive data is involved. The medium severity score reflects that while the impact is limited to confidentiality, the ease of exploitation and lack of required privileges increase the risk. Additionally, if the tool is integrated into automated workflows or exposed to the internet, the attack surface is larger. European organizations in sectors like media, marketing, or e-commerce that use this tool for content aggregation or syndication should be particularly vigilant. The absence of known exploits in the wild provides a window for proactive mitigation before active exploitation occurs.

1. Immediate mitigation should involve auditing all instances of Crawlomatic Multisite Scraper Post Generator to identify affected versions (up to 2.6.8.2) and isolate them from untrusted networks to reduce exposure. 2. Monitor network traffic for unusual data transmissions that may contain sensitive information and implement network-level controls such as web application firewalls (WAFs) to detect and block suspicious requests. 3. Since no official patches are currently available, consider disabling or limiting the use of features that transmit sensitive data until a patch is released. 4. Review and sanitize all data embedded in outgoing communications from the tool to ensure no sensitive information is included. 5. Implement strict access controls and network segmentation to restrict access to the tool’s management interfaces and data flows. 6. Stay updated with vendor advisories and apply patches promptly once released. 7. Conduct internal security assessments and penetration testing focused on this vulnerability to identify potential data leakage paths. 8. Educate relevant personnel about the risks and signs of exploitation related to this vulnerability to enhance detection and response capabilities.
