CVE-2025-49987 is a Missing Authorization vulnerability (CWE-862) identified in the WPFactory CRM ERP Business Solution, affecting versions up to 1.13. This vulnerability arises from improperly configured access control mechanisms within the application, allowing unauthorized users to perform actions or access resources that should be restricted. Specifically, the flaw is due to missing or insufficient authorization checks, which means that the system does not adequately verify whether a user has the necessary permissions before granting access to certain functionalities or data. The CVSS v3.1 base score is 5.3 (medium severity), with an attack vector of network (AV:N), low attack complexity (AC:L), no privileges required (PR:N), and no user interaction needed (UI:N). The impact is limited to integrity (I:L), with no direct impact on confidentiality or availability. This suggests that an attacker can modify data or perform unauthorized actions but cannot directly exfiltrate sensitive information or cause denial of service. The vulnerability does not require authentication or user interaction, increasing its potential exploitability over a network. However, no known exploits have been reported in the wild as of the publication date (June 20, 2025), and no patches have been released yet. The vulnerability affects the WPFactory CRM ERP Business Solution, a software product used for customer relationship management and enterprise resource planning, which typically handles business-critical data and processes.

For European organizations using WPFactory CRM ERP Business Solution, this vulnerability poses a moderate risk primarily to data integrity. Unauthorized modification of business data, such as customer records, sales information, or financial entries, could disrupt business operations, lead to inaccurate reporting, or cause compliance issues. Since the vulnerability does not impact confidentiality directly, the risk of data breaches involving sensitive personal or financial data is lower but not negligible if combined with other vulnerabilities. The lack of required privileges and user interaction means attackers can exploit this remotely without prior access, increasing the threat surface. European companies in sectors like manufacturing, retail, or services that rely on this ERP solution for operational workflows may face operational disruptions or reputational damage if attackers manipulate critical business data. Additionally, regulatory frameworks such as GDPR require maintaining data integrity and security; unauthorized data modifications could lead to regulatory scrutiny or penalties. The absence of known exploits suggests a window for proactive mitigation before widespread exploitation occurs.

1. Implement strict access control policies at the application layer, ensuring that all sensitive operations and data accesses are protected by robust authorization checks. 2. Conduct a thorough code review and security audit of the WPFactory CRM ERP Business Solution deployment to identify and remediate missing authorization logic. 3. Employ network segmentation and firewall rules to restrict external access to the CRM ERP system, limiting exposure to trusted internal networks or VPNs. 4. Monitor application logs for unusual activities indicative of unauthorized access attempts or data modifications. 5. Until an official patch is released, consider deploying Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) with custom rules to detect and block suspicious requests targeting authorization bypass patterns. 6. Educate system administrators and users about the vulnerability and encourage prompt reporting of anomalies. 7. Maintain regular backups of critical business data to enable recovery in case of unauthorized modifications. 8. Engage with WPFactory support channels to obtain updates on patches or security advisories and apply them promptly once available.
