CVE-2025-5185 is a Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerability identified in the Summer Pearl Group Vacation Rental Management Platform versions up to 1.0.1. CSRF vulnerabilities allow an attacker to trick an authenticated user into submitting a forged request to the vulnerable web application without their consent or knowledge. This can lead to unauthorized actions being performed on behalf of the user. The vulnerability affects an unspecified functionality within the platform, but the attack can be launched remotely without any authentication or privileges required. The CVSS 4.0 base score is 5.3 (medium severity), reflecting that the attack vector is network-based, requires no privileges, but does require user interaction (UI:P). The impact is limited to integrity (VI:L), with no impact on confidentiality or availability. The vendor has released version 1.0.2 to address this issue, recommending an upgrade to mitigate the vulnerability. No known exploits are currently reported in the wild, and no detailed technical specifics or CWE identifiers have been provided. The vulnerability's exploitation could allow attackers to perform unauthorized state-changing operations within the platform, potentially affecting booking data or user settings if targeted successfully.

For European organizations using the Summer Pearl Group Vacation Rental Management Platform, this vulnerability poses a risk of unauthorized actions being performed on their systems via CSRF attacks. Given the platform's role in managing vacation rental bookings and related data, exploitation could lead to manipulation of booking details, unauthorized changes to user profiles, or other transactional data integrity issues. This could result in operational disruptions, financial losses, or reputational damage, especially for companies relying heavily on this platform for customer-facing services. The medium severity and requirement for user interaction somewhat limit the risk, but the remote attack vector and lack of authentication requirements mean that attackers could target users through phishing or malicious websites. European organizations with high volumes of customer transactions or sensitive data managed through this platform should be particularly cautious. Additionally, regulatory compliance under GDPR mandates protection of personal data, so any unauthorized manipulation could have legal consequences.

To mitigate this vulnerability, European organizations should prioritize upgrading the Summer Pearl Group Vacation Rental Management Platform to version 1.0.2 or later, where the issue is resolved. Beyond patching, organizations should implement strict anti-CSRF tokens for all state-changing requests within the platform to ensure that requests originate from legitimate users and sessions. Employing the SameSite cookie attribute can also reduce CSRF risks by restricting cross-origin requests. User education is important to reduce the likelihood of falling victim to phishing or malicious links that could trigger CSRF attacks. Network-level protections such as web application firewalls (WAFs) can be configured to detect and block suspicious request patterns indicative of CSRF attempts. Regular security assessments and penetration testing focused on web application vulnerabilities should be conducted to identify and remediate similar issues proactively. Finally, monitoring and logging user actions can help detect anomalous activities that may indicate exploitation attempts.
