CVE-2025-57310 is a critical Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerability identified in Salmen2/Simple-Faucet-Script version 1.07. This vulnerability arises due to the lack of proper CSRF token validation on the admin.php endpoint, specifically when handling POST requests to the ads management section (admin.php?p=ads&c=1). An attacker can craft a malicious POST request that, when executed by an authenticated administrator visiting a malicious webpage or clicking a crafted link, triggers arbitrary code execution on the server. The vulnerability does not require prior authentication (PR:N) but does require user interaction (UI:R), such as the admin visiting a malicious site. The CVSS 3.1 base score of 8.8 indicates a high-severity issue with network attack vector (AV:N), low attack complexity (AC:L), and high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability (C:H/I:H/A:H). This means an attacker can remotely compromise the system, potentially gaining full control, stealing sensitive data, or disrupting services. No patches or known exploits are currently available, increasing the urgency for defensive measures. The vulnerability is categorized under CWE-352, which is the standard classification for CSRF issues. Given the nature of the affected software—often used for managing cryptocurrency faucets or similar web services—successful exploitation could lead to significant financial and reputational damage.

For European organizations, the impact of CVE-2025-57310 can be severe. Organizations running Salmen2/Simple-Faucet-Script for cryptocurrency faucet management or related web applications risk unauthorized code execution, which can lead to data breaches, service disruption, and potential financial theft or fraud. The compromise of administrative functions could allow attackers to manipulate advertisements, redirect funds, or inject malicious payloads affecting end users. This could also damage trust and compliance posture, especially under GDPR regulations concerning data protection and breach notification. The high severity and ease of exploitation mean that even small organizations with limited security resources could be targeted. Additionally, the lack of available patches increases the window of exposure, necessitating immediate mitigation efforts to prevent exploitation.

To mitigate CVE-2025-57310, organizations should implement the following specific measures: 1) Immediately restrict access to the admin.php interface by IP whitelisting or VPN-only access to limit exposure. 2) Deploy Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) with custom rules to detect and block suspicious POST requests targeting admin.php?p=ads&c=1. 3) Implement CSRF tokens in all forms and verify them server-side to prevent unauthorized POST requests. 4) Educate administrators to avoid clicking on untrusted links or visiting suspicious websites while logged into the admin panel. 5) Monitor server logs for unusual POST activity or unexpected changes in advertisement configurations. 6) If possible, isolate the faucet management system from other critical infrastructure to contain potential breaches. 7) Engage with the software vendor or community to obtain or develop patches or updates addressing this vulnerability. 8) Conduct regular security assessments and penetration testing focused on web application vulnerabilities, including CSRF.
