CVE-2025-49343 identifies a Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerability in Socialprofilr's Social Profilr software, affecting all versions up to 1.0. CSRF vulnerabilities allow attackers to trick authenticated users into submitting unwanted requests to a web application, exploiting the user's active session. In this case, the CSRF flaw enables stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS), meaning that malicious scripts can be injected and persist on the platform, potentially compromising user data and session integrity. The CVSS 3.1 score of 7.1 reflects a high severity, with the vector indicating network attack vector (AV:N), low attack complexity (AC:L), no privileges required (PR:N), user interaction required (UI:R), and scope change (S:C). The impact affects confidentiality, integrity, and availability at a low to moderate level. No patches or known exploits are currently available, but the vulnerability's presence in a social profiling platform raises concerns about identity theft, session hijacking, and unauthorized actions. The vulnerability's exploitation could lead to unauthorized changes in user profiles, data leakage, or further malware injection via stored XSS. The lack of authentication requirement and the ability to execute actions via user interaction increase the risk of targeted phishing or social engineering attacks. The vulnerability was reserved in June 2025 and published by Patchstack in December 2025, indicating recent discovery and disclosure.

For European organizations, the impact of CVE-2025-49343 can be significant, especially for those relying on Social Profilr for social media management, digital identity, or customer engagement. Exploitation could lead to unauthorized actions performed under legitimate user sessions, resulting in data leakage, reputation damage, and potential regulatory non-compliance under GDPR due to compromised personal data. Stored XSS can facilitate persistent attacks, enabling attackers to steal session cookies, perform privilege escalation, or distribute malware within the organization. The vulnerability could disrupt availability by enabling attackers to alter or delete critical profile information. Given the interconnected nature of social platforms, a successful attack could propagate across networks, affecting multiple users and systems. The absence of known exploits currently provides a window for proactive defense, but the high CVSS score and ease of exploitation underscore the urgency for mitigation.

To mitigate CVE-2025-49343, organizations should implement the following specific measures: 1) Apply anti-CSRF tokens to all state-changing requests to ensure that requests originate from legitimate users and sessions. 2) Enforce strict validation of the HTTP Referer and Origin headers to block unauthorized cross-origin requests. 3) Sanitize and validate all user inputs rigorously to prevent stored XSS payloads from being injected or executed. 4) Monitor and audit user activity logs for unusual or unauthorized actions indicative of CSRF exploitation. 5) Educate users about phishing and social engineering tactics that could trigger CSRF attacks requiring user interaction. 6) If possible, update or patch Social Profilr once vendor fixes become available; meanwhile, consider restricting access to the application from untrusted networks. 7) Employ Content Security Policy (CSP) headers to limit the impact of potential XSS attacks by restricting script execution sources. 8) Conduct regular security assessments and penetration testing focused on CSRF and XSS vectors within Social Profilr deployments.
