CVE-2025-57960 is a Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerability identified in the TravelMap Travel Map product, affecting versions up to 1.0.3. CSRF vulnerabilities occur when an attacker tricks an authenticated user into submitting a malicious request to a web application in which they are currently authenticated, without their knowledge or consent. This can lead to unauthorized actions being performed on behalf of the user. In this case, the vulnerability allows an attacker to craft a malicious web request that, when executed by a logged-in user, can cause unintended state-changing operations within the Travel Map application. The CVSS v3.1 base score is 4.3, indicating a medium severity level. The vector string (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N) shows that the attack can be launched remotely over the network without privileges or authentication, but requires user interaction (such as clicking a link or visiting a malicious website). The impact is limited to integrity (unauthorized modification of data or state) without affecting confidentiality or availability. No known exploits are currently in the wild, and no patches have been linked or published yet. The vulnerability is categorized under CWE-352, which is a common web application security weakness related to insufficient anti-CSRF protections.

For European organizations using TravelMap Travel Map, this vulnerability could allow attackers to perform unauthorized actions on user accounts if users are tricked into interacting with malicious content. Potential impacts include unauthorized changes to travel data, user preferences, or other application state that could disrupt business processes or lead to data integrity issues. While the confidentiality and availability of data are not directly impacted, integrity violations can undermine trust in the application and cause operational disruptions. Organizations in sectors such as travel agencies, tourism boards, or any businesses relying on TravelMap for itinerary or travel data management could face reputational damage and operational inefficiencies. The requirement for user interaction reduces the likelihood of automated widespread exploitation but does not eliminate targeted attacks, especially via phishing or social engineering campaigns.

To mitigate this vulnerability, European organizations should implement or verify the presence of robust anti-CSRF protections in their TravelMap deployments. This includes ensuring that all state-changing requests require a valid, unpredictable CSRF token that is verified server-side. Organizations should also enforce the use of the SameSite cookie attribute to restrict cross-origin requests. User education to recognize phishing attempts and avoid clicking suspicious links can reduce the risk of exploitation. Network-level protections such as web application firewalls (WAFs) can be configured to detect and block suspicious CSRF attack patterns. Since no official patches are currently available, organizations should monitor vendor communications for updates and apply patches promptly once released. Additionally, restricting user privileges to the minimum necessary can limit the impact of any successful CSRF attack.
