CVE-2025-59138 is a Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) vulnerability identified in the Jthemes Genemy product, affecting versions up to 1.6.6. SSRF vulnerabilities occur when an attacker can manipulate a server to send crafted requests to unintended locations, potentially accessing internal systems or sensitive data not normally exposed externally. In this case, the vulnerability allows an attacker with low privileges (but no user interaction required) to coerce the Genemy server into making unauthorized network requests. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 4.9 (medium), with vector AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N, indicating network attack vector, high attack complexity, low privileges required, no user interaction, scope changed, and limited confidentiality and integrity impacts without availability impact. The vulnerability’s exploitation could lead to partial disclosure of internal resources or data modification within the scope of the server’s network access. No public exploits have been reported yet, and no patches are currently linked, suggesting the need for vigilance and prompt patching once available. The CWE-918 classification confirms the SSRF nature of the issue. The vulnerability is particularly relevant for web servers hosting Genemy themes that accept user input influencing server-side requests. Attackers could leverage this to perform internal reconnaissance, bypass firewalls, or access sensitive internal services, which could be a stepping stone for further attacks.

For European organizations, the SSRF vulnerability in Jthemes Genemy poses risks primarily related to confidentiality and integrity of internal network resources. Exploitation could allow attackers to access internal services that are otherwise protected, potentially exposing sensitive information or enabling lateral movement within the network. This is especially concerning for organizations with complex internal networks or those that host sensitive data behind web-facing servers running Genemy themes. While availability is not directly impacted, the breach of confidentiality or integrity could lead to regulatory compliance issues under GDPR if personal data is exposed. The medium severity score reflects that exploitation requires some effort (high attack complexity) and low privileges, which may limit widespread exploitation but still represents a meaningful threat. European organizations relying on Jthemes Genemy for their web presence should consider the risk of internal network exposure and data leakage, particularly in sectors like finance, healthcare, and government where data sensitivity is high.

1. Monitor Jthemes and Genemy vendor channels closely for official patches addressing CVE-2025-59138 and apply them immediately upon release. 2. In the interim, implement strict input validation and sanitization on any user inputs that influence server-side requests to prevent malicious request manipulation. 3. Restrict outbound HTTP/HTTPS requests from web servers hosting Genemy themes to only trusted destinations using firewall rules or network ACLs to limit SSRF attack surface. 4. Employ network segmentation to isolate web servers from sensitive internal resources, minimizing the impact if SSRF is exploited. 5. Use web application firewalls (WAFs) with SSRF detection capabilities to block suspicious request patterns. 6. Conduct regular security assessments and penetration testing focusing on SSRF vectors in web applications using Genemy. 7. Educate development and operations teams about SSRF risks and secure coding practices related to server-side requests.
