CVE-2025-58839 is a high-severity vulnerability classified under CWE-502, which concerns the deserialization of untrusted data. This vulnerability affects the eDS Responsive Menu product developed by aThemeArt Translations, specifically versions up to 1.2. The core issue arises from the product's handling of serialized data inputs without adequate validation or sanitization, allowing an attacker to perform object injection attacks. Object injection through deserialization flaws can lead to remote code execution, privilege escalation, or arbitrary code execution depending on the application's context and the deserialized objects' capabilities. The CVSS v3.1 score of 7.2 reflects a network attack vector (AV:N), low attack complexity (AC:L), but requiring high privileges (PR:H) and no user interaction (UI:N). The impact affects confidentiality, integrity, and availability (C:H/I:H/A:H), indicating that successful exploitation can lead to full compromise of the affected system. Although no known exploits are currently reported in the wild, the vulnerability's nature and severity make it a significant risk, especially for environments where the eDS Responsive Menu is deployed in privileged contexts or exposed to untrusted network inputs. The lack of available patches or mitigations at the time of publication further elevates the urgency for organizations to assess their exposure and implement compensating controls.

For European organizations, the exploitation of this vulnerability could lead to severe consequences including unauthorized access to sensitive data, disruption of web services, and potential lateral movement within internal networks. Given that eDS Responsive Menu is a web component likely used in content management or website navigation, compromised systems could serve as entry points for attackers to infiltrate corporate networks or deface websites, damaging brand reputation and customer trust. Organizations in sectors such as finance, healthcare, government, and critical infrastructure are particularly at risk due to the high confidentiality and integrity impact. Additionally, the requirement for high privileges to exploit the vulnerability suggests that insider threats or compromised administrative accounts could be leveraged to trigger the attack, increasing the risk in environments with insufficient privilege management. The absence of known exploits in the wild currently provides a window for proactive defense, but the potential for rapid weaponization remains high.

Given the absence of official patches, European organizations should implement immediate compensating controls. These include: 1) Restricting access to the eDS Responsive Menu component to trusted users and networks only, employing network segmentation and firewall rules to limit exposure. 2) Enforcing strict privilege management by auditing and minimizing administrative privileges on systems running the vulnerable software. 3) Implementing Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) with custom rules to detect and block suspicious serialized payloads or unusual object injection patterns. 4) Monitoring logs and network traffic for anomalies indicative of deserialization attacks, such as unexpected serialized data or unusual object instantiations. 5) Planning for rapid patch deployment once official fixes become available, including testing in staging environments to ensure compatibility. 6) Educating development and security teams about the risks of deserialization vulnerabilities and encouraging secure coding practices to prevent similar issues in custom components.
