CVE-2025-62085 identifies a missing authorization vulnerability in the BERTHA AI product developed by berthaai, specifically affecting versions up to and including 1.13. This vulnerability arises from incorrectly configured access control security levels, which allow unauthorized users to perform certain actions without proper permission checks. The vulnerability is remotely exploitable over the network without requiring any privileges or user interaction, as indicated by the CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N). Although the vulnerability does not compromise confidentiality or availability, it impacts the integrity of the system by enabling unauthorized modifications or operations within the BERTHA AI environment. BERTHA AI is an AI-powered content generation tool often used in digital marketing and content creation workflows. The lack of authorization checks means that attackers could potentially manipulate AI-generated content or configurations, leading to misinformation, brand damage, or workflow disruptions. No public exploits have been reported yet, but the ease of exploitation and the nature of the flaw make it a significant concern. The vulnerability was reserved in early October 2025 and published in December 2025, with no patches currently linked, indicating that users should be vigilant for updates from the vendor. The issue underscores the importance of robust access control mechanisms in AI-based SaaS platforms, especially those integrated into business-critical content pipelines.

For European organizations, the missing authorization vulnerability in BERTHA AI could lead to unauthorized modifications of AI-generated content or system configurations, potentially causing misinformation, reputational damage, or disruption of marketing and content workflows. Since BERTHA AI is used in digital marketing and content creation, sectors heavily reliant on accurate and trustworthy content, exploitation could undermine business operations and client trust. The vulnerability does not expose sensitive data directly but compromises the integrity of outputs, which can have downstream effects on decision-making and brand perception. Given the remote exploitability without authentication, attackers can target exposed instances at scale, increasing risk for organizations with internet-facing deployments. The absence of known exploits reduces immediate risk but does not eliminate the threat, especially as attackers may develop exploits over time. European companies in industries such as media, advertising, and e-commerce that utilize AI content tools are particularly at risk. Additionally, regulatory frameworks like GDPR emphasize data integrity and security, so exploitation could lead to compliance issues if it results in misinformation or unauthorized data manipulation.

To mitigate CVE-2025-62085, European organizations should first inventory all deployments of BERTHA AI and assess exposure to external networks. Since no patches are currently available, implement compensating controls such as network segmentation and firewall rules to restrict access to the application only to trusted internal users. Enforce strict role-based access controls (RBAC) within the application environment to limit the scope of actions any user or service account can perform. Monitor logs and audit trails for unusual or unauthorized activity indicative of exploitation attempts. Engage with the vendor to obtain timely security updates or patches and apply them as soon as they become available. Consider deploying Web Application Firewalls (WAF) with custom rules to detect and block suspicious requests targeting authorization bypass attempts. Educate internal teams about the risks of missing authorization vulnerabilities and incorporate security testing into the deployment pipeline to detect similar issues proactively. Finally, review and harden the configuration of BERTHA AI instances to ensure no default or overly permissive settings are in place.
