CVE-2025-62734 is a Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerability identified in the Media Library Downloader software developed by Michael Revellin-Clerc, affecting versions up to and including 1.4.0. CSRF vulnerabilities occur when a web application does not adequately verify that state-changing requests originate from legitimate users, allowing attackers to craft malicious web pages or links that cause authenticated users to unknowingly execute unwanted actions. In this case, the Media Library Downloader lacks sufficient CSRF protections, enabling attackers to exploit this weakness remotely over the network without requiring prior authentication. The vulnerability impacts the integrity of the application by potentially allowing unauthorized changes or actions to be performed on behalf of the user, though it does not compromise confidentiality or availability directly. The CVSS 3.1 base score of 4.3 reflects a medium severity level, with an attack vector of network (AV:N), low attack complexity (AC:L), no privileges required (PR:N), but requiring user interaction (UI:R). The scope remains unchanged (S:U), and the impact is limited to integrity (I:L) without affecting confidentiality (C:N) or availability (A:N). No known exploits have been reported in the wild, and no official patches or mitigation links have been published at the time of this report. The vulnerability was reserved in October 2025 and published in December 2025, indicating recent discovery. This flaw is particularly relevant for organizations using the Media Library Downloader to manage media assets, as attackers could manipulate media content or settings via CSRF attacks.

For European organizations utilizing the Media Library Downloader, this CSRF vulnerability poses a risk primarily to the integrity of media management operations. Attackers could induce users to perform unauthorized actions such as altering media files, changing configurations, or triggering unintended downloads, potentially disrupting workflows or causing data inconsistencies. While the vulnerability does not directly expose sensitive data or cause service outages, the integrity compromise could lead to reputational damage, operational inefficiencies, or indirect security risks if manipulated media content is distributed. Sectors heavily reliant on digital media management, such as media companies, marketing agencies, educational institutions, and cultural organizations, may face higher impact. The requirement for user interaction means phishing or social engineering campaigns could be used to exploit this vulnerability. Given the absence of known exploits, the immediate threat level is moderate, but the risk could escalate if attackers develop automated exploit tools. European organizations should prioritize awareness and remediation to prevent exploitation, especially in environments where the affected software is integrated with critical systems or public-facing portals.

To mitigate CVE-2025-62734, organizations should implement the following specific measures: 1) Apply any available patches or updates from the vendor as soon as they are released; monitor official channels for announcements. 2) If patches are not yet available, deploy web application firewalls (WAFs) with custom rules to detect and block suspicious CSRF attack patterns targeting the Media Library Downloader endpoints. 3) Enforce strict anti-CSRF tokens in all state-changing requests within the application to ensure requests originate from legitimate user sessions. 4) Validate the HTTP Referer and Origin headers on incoming requests to confirm they come from trusted sources. 5) Restrict state-changing operations to POST requests and avoid using GET requests for such actions. 6) Educate users about phishing and social engineering risks that could lead to CSRF exploitation, emphasizing cautious behavior when clicking on unsolicited links. 7) Conduct regular security assessments and penetration testing focusing on CSRF and related web vulnerabilities in the Media Library Downloader environment. 8) Limit user privileges within the application to the minimum necessary to reduce the impact of potential CSRF attacks. 9) Monitor logs for unusual activity patterns that may indicate exploitation attempts. These targeted actions go beyond generic advice and address the specific nature of this vulnerability.
