CVE-2025-58201 is a Missing Authorization vulnerability (CWE-862) affecting AfterShip & Automizely's AfterShip Tracking product, up to version 1.17.17. This vulnerability arises because certain functionality within the AfterShip Tracking system is not properly constrained by Access Control Lists (ACLs), allowing unauthorized users to access functions that should require authorization. The vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 5.3, indicating a medium severity level. The vector details (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N) reveal that the vulnerability is remotely exploitable over the network without requiring privileges or user interaction. The impact is limited to integrity, meaning unauthorized users can perform actions that alter data or system state but cannot access confidential information or cause denial of service. No known exploits are currently reported in the wild, and no patches or fixes have been linked yet. The vulnerability affects all versions up to 1.17.17, but the exact initial affected version is unspecified (not available). AfterShip Tracking is a widely used shipment tracking and logistics SaaS product integrated by many e-commerce platforms and businesses to provide shipment status updates and tracking information to customers. The missing authorization flaw could allow attackers to manipulate tracking data or perform unauthorized actions within the system, potentially undermining data integrity and trustworthiness of shipment information.

For European organizations, this vulnerability could have several impacts. Many European e-commerce companies and logistics providers rely on AfterShip Tracking to provide real-time shipment tracking to customers. Unauthorized modification of tracking data could lead to misinformation about shipment status, causing customer dissatisfaction, increased support costs, and reputational damage. In regulated sectors such as pharmaceuticals or high-value goods, inaccurate tracking information could also lead to compliance issues or contractual breaches. While confidentiality and availability are not directly impacted, the integrity compromise could facilitate fraud, such as falsifying delivery confirmations or manipulating shipment timelines. This could also be exploited by attackers to disrupt supply chain transparency or to cover up other malicious activities. Since the vulnerability does not require authentication or user interaction, it could be exploited by remote attackers with minimal effort, increasing the risk for organizations that expose AfterShip Tracking interfaces publicly or integrate them into customer-facing portals.

Given the absence of an official patch or fix, European organizations should implement compensating controls immediately. These include restricting network access to AfterShip Tracking management interfaces using IP whitelisting or VPNs to limit exposure to trusted users only. Implement strict monitoring and logging of all actions related to shipment tracking data modifications to detect anomalous or unauthorized activities promptly. Employ Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) with custom rules to detect and block suspicious requests targeting AfterShip Tracking endpoints. Review and tighten integration configurations to ensure minimal privileges are granted to external systems or users interacting with AfterShip Tracking APIs. Additionally, organizations should engage with AfterShip & Automizely support to obtain timelines for patches and apply updates as soon as they become available. Conduct internal audits to verify that no unauthorized changes have occurred and educate staff about the risks of this vulnerability to enhance vigilance. Finally, consider isolating the AfterShip Tracking system from other critical infrastructure to reduce potential lateral movement in case of exploitation.
