CVE-2025-60982 is an IDOR vulnerability discovered in Educare ERP version 1.0, published on October 27, 2025. The vulnerability arises because certain API endpoints in the ERP system fail to enforce proper authorization checks on object references. Authenticated users can manipulate object identifiers (such as record IDs) in API requests to access or modify data that belongs to other users. This bypasses intended access controls and allows unauthorized disclosure or alteration of sensitive information stored within the ERP system. The vulnerability does not require privilege escalation beyond authentication, nor does it require additional user interaction, making exploitation straightforward for any authenticated user with knowledge of the API structure. No CVSS score has been assigned yet, and no public exploits are known at this time. However, the flaw represents a serious security risk, especially in environments where sensitive personal, financial, or operational data is managed by Educare ERP. The lack of patch information suggests that a fix may not yet be available, emphasizing the need for immediate mitigation efforts by organizations using this software. The vulnerability is typical of IDOR issues, which are common in web applications that do not adequately validate user permissions on object-level requests.

For European organizations, this vulnerability could lead to unauthorized exposure or modification of sensitive data such as student records, financial information, or internal operational data managed by Educare ERP. This compromises confidentiality and integrity, potentially leading to data breaches, regulatory non-compliance (e.g., GDPR violations), reputational damage, and operational disruptions. Educational institutions and related entities using Educare ERP are particularly vulnerable, as attackers could access personal data of students and staff or alter critical records. The ease of exploitation by any authenticated user increases the risk, especially if credentials are compromised or shared. The absence of known exploits currently limits immediate widespread impact, but the vulnerability's presence in a critical ERP system makes it a high-value target for attackers. European organizations must consider the potential for insider threats or credential theft to leverage this vulnerability. The impact extends beyond data loss to possible manipulation of records that could affect decision-making or compliance reporting.

Organizations should immediately audit their Educare ERP deployments to identify affected endpoints and verify authorization controls on all object references. Implement strict server-side authorization checks that validate user permissions for every object accessed or modified via the API. Conduct thorough code reviews focusing on access control logic and object reference handling. Monitor logs for unusual access patterns or attempts to manipulate object identifiers. Limit user permissions to the minimum necessary to reduce the attack surface. Employ multi-factor authentication to reduce the risk of credential compromise. Until a vendor patch is available, consider deploying Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) with custom rules to detect and block suspicious API requests involving object ID manipulation. Engage with the vendor for timely patch releases and apply updates promptly once available. Additionally, provide security awareness training to users about the risks of credential sharing and phishing attacks that could lead to unauthorized access.
