CVE-2025-53568 is a Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerability identified in the Tony Zeoli Radio Station software, affecting versions up to 2.5.12. CSRF vulnerabilities occur when an attacker tricks an authenticated user into submitting a request to a web application without their consent, exploiting the user's active session and privileges. In this case, the vulnerability allows an attacker to perform unauthorized actions on behalf of the user by leveraging the lack of proper anti-CSRF protections in the Radio Station application. The CVSS 3.1 base score of 4.3 indicates a medium severity level, with the vector string AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N meaning the attack can be performed remotely over the network with low attack complexity, no privileges required, but user interaction is necessary. The impact is limited to integrity loss (unauthorized changes) without affecting confidentiality or availability. No known exploits are currently reported in the wild, and no patches have been linked yet. The vulnerability is classified under CWE-352, which is a common web application security weakness related to insufficient request validation to prevent CSRF attacks.

For European organizations using Tony Zeoli Radio Station software, this vulnerability could allow attackers to manipulate application functions by tricking legitimate users into executing unwanted actions. Although the impact is limited to integrity (e.g., changing settings, submitting unauthorized commands), it could disrupt normal operations or lead to unauthorized content or configuration changes. Since confidentiality and availability are not directly affected, the risk is moderate. However, if the Radio Station software is integrated into broader IT or media infrastructure, integrity compromises could cascade into reputational damage or operational disruptions. The requirement for user interaction reduces the likelihood of large-scale automated exploitation but does not eliminate targeted attacks, especially against users with elevated privileges or administrative roles. European broadcasters or media organizations relying on this software should be aware of potential risks to their content management and broadcasting workflows.

To mitigate this CSRF vulnerability, organizations should implement robust anti-CSRF protections such as synchronizer tokens (CSRF tokens) embedded in forms and verified on the server side. Ensuring that all state-changing requests require a valid, user-specific token will prevent unauthorized cross-site requests. Additionally, enforcing the SameSite cookie attribute (preferably 'Strict' or 'Lax') can reduce the risk of CSRF by limiting cookie transmission in cross-site contexts. Organizations should monitor for updates or patches from Tony Zeoli and apply them promptly once available. In the interim, restricting user privileges to the minimum necessary and educating users about the risks of clicking on suspicious links can reduce exploitation chances. Web application firewalls (WAFs) with CSRF detection rules may provide additional protection. Finally, conducting security assessments and penetration tests focused on CSRF and session management controls can help identify and remediate weaknesses proactively.
