CVE-2025-58218 is a high-severity vulnerability classified under CWE-502, which pertains to the deserialization of untrusted data. This vulnerability affects the enituretechnology Small Package Quotes – USPS Edition software, specifically versions up to and including 1.3.9. The core issue arises from the software's handling of serialized objects without adequate validation or sanitization, allowing an attacker to perform object injection. This can lead to arbitrary code execution, data manipulation, or denial of service conditions. The CVSS v3.1 score of 7.2 reflects a network attack vector with low complexity, requiring high privileges but no user interaction, and impacting confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The vulnerability is exploitable remotely (AV:N) and does not require user interaction (UI:N), but does require the attacker to have high privileges (PR:H), which suggests that the attacker must already have some level of authenticated access or elevated permissions within the system. The scope is unchanged (S:U), meaning the impact is confined to the vulnerable component. Although no known exploits are currently reported in the wild, the nature of deserialization vulnerabilities makes this a critical concern because exploitation can lead to severe consequences such as remote code execution or system compromise. The lack of available patches at the time of publication further increases the urgency for mitigation.

For European organizations, the impact of this vulnerability can be significant, especially for those relying on the enituretechnology Small Package Quotes – USPS Edition software for logistics, shipping, or e-commerce operations involving USPS shipments. Exploitation could lead to unauthorized access to sensitive shipment data, manipulation of shipping quotes, or disruption of shipping workflows, potentially causing financial losses and operational downtime. Given the high confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact, attackers could exfiltrate sensitive customer or business data, alter shipping information to cause fraud or shipment errors, or disrupt services leading to reputational damage. Organizations in sectors such as retail, manufacturing, and logistics that integrate this software into their supply chain processes are particularly at risk. Moreover, since the vulnerability requires high privileges, insider threats or attackers who have already compromised lower-level accounts could escalate their access and cause more extensive damage. The absence of known exploits in the wild currently provides a window for proactive defense, but the potential for future exploitation remains high.

European organizations should immediately conduct an inventory to identify deployments of enituretechnology Small Package Quotes – USPS Edition, particularly versions up to 1.3.9. Until a vendor patch is released, organizations should implement strict access controls to limit high-privilege access to the affected software components, minimizing the risk of exploitation by insiders or compromised accounts. Network segmentation should be employed to isolate systems running this software from critical infrastructure and sensitive data repositories. Monitoring and logging should be enhanced to detect unusual deserialization activities or anomalous object inputs. Employing application-layer firewalls or web application firewalls (WAFs) with custom rules to detect and block suspicious serialized payloads can provide an additional layer of defense. Organizations should also review and harden their authentication and authorization mechanisms to prevent privilege escalation. Once a patch becomes available, prompt testing and deployment are essential. Additionally, developers and system integrators should review the software’s deserialization processes to implement safe deserialization practices, such as using allowlists for classes, avoiding native deserialization where possible, or employing serialization formats that do not allow arbitrary code execution.
