CVE-2025-62133 identifies a Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerability in the Manidoraisamy FormFacade product, affecting versions up to 1.4.1. CSRF vulnerabilities occur when a web application does not properly verify that requests originate from legitimate users, allowing attackers to trick authenticated users into submitting unintended requests. This can lead to unauthorized actions performed with the victim’s privileges. The vulnerability is characterized by an attacker crafting malicious web content that, when visited by an authenticated user, causes the user’s browser to send forged requests to the vulnerable application. According to the CVSS vector (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N), the attack can be launched remotely over the network with low attack complexity, requires no privileges, but does require user interaction (e.g., clicking a link). The impact is limited to integrity, meaning unauthorized changes to data or state can occur, but confidentiality and availability are not affected. No patches or known exploits are currently available, indicating the vulnerability is newly disclosed. The lack of authentication requirement and ease of exploitation through social engineering make this a relevant threat for web applications using FormFacade, especially those handling sensitive or critical form submissions. The vulnerability is classified under CWE-352, a common web security weakness related to CSRF.

For European organizations, the primary impact of this vulnerability lies in the potential unauthorized modification of data or execution of unintended actions within web applications using FormFacade. This could affect business processes relying on form submissions, such as customer data updates, transaction requests, or configuration changes. While confidentiality and availability are not directly impacted, integrity violations could lead to financial discrepancies, reputational damage, or compliance issues, especially under GDPR if personal data is involved. Organizations with high user interaction on web portals, such as e-government services, financial institutions, and healthcare providers, may face increased risk. The absence of authentication requirements for exploitation means attackers can target any user with access to the vulnerable application, increasing the attack surface. However, the need for user interaction somewhat limits automated large-scale exploitation. The lack of known exploits currently reduces immediate risk but does not preclude future active exploitation. Overall, the impact is moderate but significant enough to warrant timely mitigation to protect critical business functions and maintain regulatory compliance.

To mitigate CVE-2025-62133, organizations should implement robust anti-CSRF protections in their FormFacade deployments. This includes integrating unique, unpredictable CSRF tokens into all state-changing form submissions and validating these tokens on the server side. Additionally, enforcing strict SameSite cookie attributes can help reduce CSRF risks by restricting cross-origin requests. Validating the HTTP Referer or Origin headers for sensitive requests adds an extra layer of defense. Organizations should also ensure that user sessions are properly managed and that users are logged out after inactivity to minimize the window of exploitation. Educating users about the risks of clicking unsolicited links or visiting untrusted websites can reduce the likelihood of successful social engineering. Monitoring web application logs for unusual or unexpected form submissions may help detect exploitation attempts. Since no official patches are currently available, applying these compensating controls is critical. Once patches or updates are released by the vendor, organizations should prioritize timely deployment. Finally, conducting security assessments and penetration testing focused on CSRF vulnerabilities can help identify and remediate similar weaknesses proactively.
