CVE-2025-54599 is a security vulnerability affecting the Bevy Event service, which is utilized for managing eBay Seller Events and other related activities. The vulnerability arises from a misconfiguration in the Single Sign-On (SSO) implementation. Specifically, when a user who has authenticated via SSO changes the email address configured in their account, an attacker can exploit this flaw to take over the victim's account. The attack scenario involves the adversary first creating their own account and performing an SSO login. Due to the misconfiguration, the system fails to properly validate or segregate the identity changes tied to the email address, allowing the attacker to hijack the victim's session or account. This vulnerability is significant because it undermines the trust model of SSO, which is designed to streamline authentication while maintaining security. The lack of a CVSS score indicates that the vulnerability is newly published and has not yet been fully assessed or exploited in the wild. However, the root cause being an SSO misconfiguration suggests a logical flaw in the authentication flow rather than a traditional software bug, which can be more challenging to detect and mitigate. The affected versions are not explicitly specified, but the vulnerability is noted to exist through July 22, 2025, implying that any deployments of the Bevy Event service prior to that date may be vulnerable. No known exploits have been reported in the wild as of the publication date. The vulnerability's exploitation requires the attacker to create an account and perform an SSO login, which means no prior access to the victim's credentials is needed, but some level of user interaction or account creation is necessary.

For European organizations, especially those involved in e-commerce or event management that rely on the Bevy Event service or similar SSO integrations, this vulnerability poses a significant risk. Account takeover can lead to unauthorized access to sensitive seller information, manipulation of event data, fraudulent transactions, and reputational damage. Given that eBay is a widely used platform across Europe, sellers and partners using the affected service could face direct impacts. The compromise of seller accounts could also facilitate further attacks such as phishing, fraud, or supply chain manipulation. Additionally, the breach of user trust in SSO mechanisms could have broader implications for organizations relying on federated identity management, potentially undermining compliance with GDPR requirements related to data protection and breach notification. The absence of known exploits currently reduces immediate risk, but the potential for exploitation remains high due to the nature of the vulnerability.

Organizations should immediately audit their SSO configurations, particularly focusing on the processes that handle email address changes post-authentication. Implement strict validation and verification steps when users update critical identity attributes such as email addresses, including multi-factor authentication (MFA) challenges or out-of-band confirmation. It is crucial to ensure that the identity provider (IdP) and service provider (SP) maintain consistent and secure attribute mappings to prevent unauthorized account linkage. Monitoring and alerting should be enhanced to detect unusual account changes or login patterns indicative of takeover attempts. Where possible, temporarily disable email address changes via SSO until a patch or configuration fix is applied. Engage with the Bevy Event service provider or platform vendor to obtain patches or configuration guidelines addressing this vulnerability. Additionally, educate users about the risks of account changes and encourage strong authentication practices. Finally, conduct penetration testing focused on SSO flows to identify and remediate similar misconfigurations proactively.
