CVE-2025-58642 is a high-severity vulnerability classified under CWE-502, which pertains to the deserialization of untrusted data. This vulnerability affects the enituretechnology product 'LTL Freight Quotes – Day & Ross Edition' up to version 2.1.11. Deserialization vulnerabilities occur when an application deserializes data from untrusted sources without sufficient validation or sanitization, allowing attackers to manipulate the serialized objects. In this case, the vulnerability enables object injection, which can lead to remote code execution or other malicious actions by injecting crafted serialized objects. The CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.2 reflects a high impact, with network attack vector (AV:N), low attack complexity (AC:L), requiring high privileges (PR:H), no user interaction (UI:N), and impacting confidentiality, integrity, and availability (C:H/I:H/A:H). The scope is unchanged (S:U), indicating the vulnerability affects the same security scope. Although no known exploits are reported in the wild yet, the potential for severe damage exists due to the nature of object injection attacks. The vulnerability is particularly critical because it can compromise the confidentiality of sensitive freight quote data, integrity of pricing or shipment information, and availability of the service, potentially disrupting logistics operations. The lack of available patches at the time of publication increases the urgency for mitigation.

For European organizations, especially those involved in logistics, freight management, and supply chain operations using the affected LTL Freight Quotes – Day & Ross Edition software, this vulnerability poses significant risks. Exploitation could lead to unauthorized access to sensitive shipment data, manipulation of freight quotes, or disruption of freight services. This can result in financial losses, reputational damage, and operational downtime. Given the critical role of freight and logistics in European trade and commerce, any disruption could have cascading effects on supply chains. Additionally, the high confidentiality impact raises concerns about data privacy compliance under regulations such as GDPR, potentially leading to regulatory penalties if personal or business-sensitive data is exposed. The requirement for high privileges to exploit the vulnerability suggests that insider threats or compromised administrative accounts could be leveraged, emphasizing the need for strict access controls. The absence of user interaction in the attack vector means that exploitation can be automated and stealthy, increasing the risk of widespread compromise if the vulnerability is weaponized.

European organizations should implement several specific measures beyond generic patching advice: 1) Immediately audit and restrict administrative privileges on systems running the affected software to minimize the risk of privilege abuse. 2) Employ network segmentation to isolate the LTL Freight Quotes application servers from broader corporate networks, limiting lateral movement in case of compromise. 3) Monitor application logs and network traffic for unusual deserialization activity or anomalous object payloads indicative of exploitation attempts. 4) If patching is not yet available, consider deploying Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) with custom rules to detect and block suspicious serialized object patterns. 5) Engage with the vendor (enituretechnology) for timely updates or workarounds and participate in threat intelligence sharing communities to stay informed about emerging exploits. 6) Conduct regular security assessments focusing on deserialization vulnerabilities and secure coding practices for any custom integrations with the affected product. 7) Implement strict input validation and employ serialization libraries that enforce type constraints and integrity checks to prevent unsafe deserialization in future development.
