CVE-2025-54598 is a Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerability affecting the Bevy Event service, which is utilized for managing eBay Seller Events and other related activities. The vulnerability exists in the endpoint /notifications/delete/, which allows an attacker to delete all notifications for an authenticated user without their consent or interaction. CSRF attacks exploit the trust that a web application places in the user's browser by tricking the user into submitting a malicious request unknowingly. In this case, if a user is authenticated and visits a malicious website or clicks a crafted link, the attacker can cause the user's browser to send a request to the vulnerable endpoint, resulting in the deletion of all notifications. This vulnerability does not require user interaction beyond visiting a malicious page or link, and it does not require elevated privileges beyond the victim being authenticated. There is no CVSS score provided, and no patch links are currently available, indicating that this vulnerability might be newly disclosed or pending remediation. No known exploits in the wild have been reported yet. The lack of detailed affected versions suggests the vulnerability may impact all current versions of the Bevy Event service up to the date of disclosure.

For European organizations, especially those using eBay Seller Events or other services relying on the Bevy Event service, this vulnerability could disrupt normal notification workflows by deleting all notifications without user consent. This could lead to missed critical alerts, event updates, or transactional information, potentially impacting business operations, customer communications, and event management. While the vulnerability does not directly compromise confidentiality or integrity of data, the loss of notifications could indirectly affect operational awareness and timely response to important events. In sectors where event notifications are critical for compliance, logistics, or customer service, this could degrade service quality and trust. Additionally, if attackers combine this vulnerability with other attack vectors, it could facilitate more complex social engineering or phishing campaigns by masking or deleting warning notifications.

To mitigate this vulnerability, organizations should implement anti-CSRF tokens (synchronizer tokens) on the /notifications/delete/ endpoint to ensure that requests are legitimate and originate from authorized users. Additionally, enforcing the SameSite cookie attribute to 'Strict' or 'Lax' can reduce the risk of CSRF by limiting cross-origin requests. User sessions should be monitored for unusual activity, and users should be educated about the risks of clicking untrusted links or visiting suspicious websites while authenticated. Web application firewalls (WAFs) can be configured to detect and block suspicious requests targeting the vulnerable endpoint. Until an official patch is released, organizations should consider disabling or restricting access to the vulnerable endpoint if feasible. Regular security assessments and penetration testing should be conducted to identify similar CSRF vulnerabilities in related services.
