CVE-2025-59687 is a vulnerability identified in IMPAQTR Aurora versions prior to 1.36. The flaw allows an attacker to perform Insecure Direct Object Reference (IDOR) attacks. IDOR vulnerabilities occur when an application exposes references to internal implementation objects such as files, database records, or keys, without proper access control checks. In this case, the vulnerability enables unauthorized access to sensitive information including the users list, organization details, bookmarks, and notifications of any arbitrary organization within the IMPAQTR Aurora platform. Since the vulnerability affects multiple types of sensitive data, it indicates a failure in enforcing proper authorization checks on API endpoints or web resources that handle these objects. The absence of a CVSS score and known exploits in the wild suggests this vulnerability is newly disclosed and may not yet be actively exploited. However, the impact of unauthorized access to organizational data can be significant, potentially leading to information disclosure, privacy violations, and reconnaissance opportunities for further attacks. The lack of patch links implies that a fix may not yet be publicly available, increasing the urgency for organizations to implement compensating controls or monitor for suspicious activity. Given that IMPAQTR Aurora is a platform used by organizations to manage internal data, this vulnerability could be leveraged by attackers to gain insights into organizational structure and user information, which can facilitate targeted attacks or social engineering campaigns.

For European organizations using IMPAQTR Aurora, this vulnerability poses a risk of unauthorized data exposure. Confidential information such as user lists and organizational details could be accessed by malicious actors, potentially violating GDPR and other data protection regulations. Exposure of bookmarks and notifications might reveal internal workflows or priorities, aiding attackers in crafting more effective phishing or intrusion attempts. The breach of confidentiality could damage organizational reputation and lead to regulatory penalties. Additionally, the unauthorized access could be a stepping stone for lateral movement within the organization’s network if combined with other vulnerabilities or weak controls. The impact is heightened in sectors with stringent data privacy requirements such as finance, healthcare, and government institutions across Europe. Furthermore, the lack of authentication or authorization checks implied by the IDOR vulnerability increases the attack surface, making it easier for attackers to exploit without needing valid credentials or user interaction.

Organizations should immediately audit their IMPAQTR Aurora deployments to determine if they are running versions prior to 1.36. Until an official patch is released, they should implement strict access control measures at the network and application layers, such as IP whitelisting, VPN access, or web application firewalls (WAF) with custom rules to detect and block suspicious requests targeting user and organization data endpoints. Conduct thorough logging and monitoring of access to sensitive resources to detect anomalous access patterns. Review and harden API endpoints and internal references to ensure proper authorization checks are enforced. Engage with the vendor for timelines on patch releases and apply updates promptly once available. Additionally, perform regular security assessments and penetration testing focused on IDOR and access control weaknesses. Educate internal teams about the risks of data exposure and enforce the principle of least privilege for user accounts within the platform.
