CVE-2025-50044 is a Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerability identified in the Rameez Iqbal Real Estate Manager software, affecting versions up to 7.3. CSRF vulnerabilities allow an attacker to trick an authenticated user into submitting unwanted actions to a web application in which they are currently authenticated. In this case, the vulnerability enables an attacker to cause the Real Estate Manager application to perform unintended actions on behalf of the user without their consent. The CVSS v3.1 base score is 6.5, indicating a medium severity level. The vector string (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H) reveals that the attack can be launched remotely over the network without any privileges or authentication, but requires user interaction (such as clicking a malicious link). The impact is limited to availability (A:H), meaning the attacker can disrupt or degrade the service, but there is no direct impact on confidentiality or integrity. No known exploits are currently reported in the wild, and no patches have been published yet. The vulnerability falls under CWE-352, which is a common web security weakness related to insufficient request validation and anti-CSRF protections. Given the nature of the Real Estate Manager software, which is used to manage property listings and related data, the CSRF vulnerability could allow attackers to perform disruptive actions such as deleting or modifying listings, causing denial of service or operational disruption to real estate businesses relying on this platform.

For European organizations using Rameez Iqbal Real Estate Manager, this vulnerability poses a risk primarily to service availability. Real estate agencies and property management firms could experience service interruptions or data loss due to unauthorized actions triggered by attackers exploiting this CSRF flaw. Although confidentiality and data integrity are not directly impacted, the disruption of availability could lead to operational downtime, loss of customer trust, and potential financial losses. Since the vulnerability requires user interaction, phishing or social engineering campaigns targeting employees or clients could be used to exploit it. The impact is more pronounced for organizations with high reliance on this software for daily operations, especially those with public-facing portals where users are frequently authenticated. Additionally, the lack of patches means organizations must rely on mitigation strategies until an official fix is released. The absence of known exploits in the wild currently reduces immediate risk but does not eliminate the threat, as attackers may develop exploits in the future.

1. Implement strict anti-CSRF tokens in all state-changing requests within the Real Estate Manager application to ensure that requests originate from legitimate users and sessions. 2. Employ SameSite cookie attributes (preferably 'Strict' or 'Lax') to limit cookie transmission in cross-site contexts, reducing CSRF attack surface. 3. Educate users and employees about phishing and social engineering risks, emphasizing caution when clicking on links or opening emails from unknown sources. 4. Restrict user privileges and enforce the principle of least privilege to minimize the impact of any successful CSRF attack. 5. Monitor web application logs for unusual or unexpected state-changing requests that could indicate attempted exploitation. 6. Consider deploying Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) with rules designed to detect and block CSRF attack patterns. 7. Until patches are available, isolate the Real Estate Manager application behind VPNs or internal networks where possible to reduce exposure to external attackers. 8. Regularly check for vendor updates or patches addressing this vulnerability and apply them promptly once released.
