CVE-2025-49950 identifies a missing authorization vulnerability in the Official Integration for Billingo product, affecting versions up to and including 4.2.5. This flaw arises because the integration does not properly enforce authorization checks on certain operations, allowing an unauthenticated attacker to perform actions that should be restricted. The vulnerability enables privilege escalation, meaning an attacker can gain higher-level access than intended, potentially accessing or modifying sensitive billing information. The CVSS 3.1 score of 7.3 reflects a high-severity issue with network attack vector (AV:N), low attack complexity (AC:L), no privileges required (PR:N), and no user interaction (UI:N). The impact affects confidentiality, integrity, and availability, as unauthorized access could lead to data leakage, unauthorized data modification, or disruption of billing processes. Although no public exploits have been reported yet, the vulnerability's characteristics make it a likely target for attackers once exploit code becomes available. The integration is widely used by businesses relying on Billingo for invoicing and billing automation, making this a critical issue for organizations that depend on this software for financial operations.

For European organizations, this vulnerability poses a significant risk to financial data integrity and confidentiality. Unauthorized privilege escalation could lead to fraudulent invoice generation, data theft, or disruption of billing workflows, impacting revenue and compliance with financial regulations such as GDPR. SMEs and enterprises using Billingo's integration may face operational downtime and reputational damage if exploited. Given the integration's role in automating billing, exploitation could also affect supply chain partners and customers relying on accurate invoicing. The lack of authentication requirement increases the attack surface, allowing remote attackers to exploit the vulnerability without prior access. This elevates the threat level for organizations in Europe, where digital invoicing and compliance are heavily regulated and critical to business operations.

Organizations should immediately inventory their use of the Official Integration for Billingo and verify the version in use. Until an official patch is released, restrict network access to the integration endpoints using firewalls or network segmentation to limit exposure. Implement strict access control policies and monitor logs for unusual or unauthorized activity related to billing operations. Employ anomaly detection tools to identify suspicious privilege escalations or data access patterns. Engage with the vendor to obtain patches or updates as soon as they become available and apply them promptly. Additionally, conduct security awareness training for staff managing billing systems to recognize potential exploitation signs. Consider deploying Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) with custom rules to block unauthorized requests targeting the integration. Finally, review and enhance overall identity and access management policies to minimize the impact of potential privilege escalations.
