CVE-2025-62945 identifies a critical Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerability in the Did Prestashop Display plugin developed by Eduard Pinuaga Linares, affecting versions up to and including 1.0.30. This vulnerability allows attackers to craft malicious requests that, when executed by an authenticated user, perform unauthorized actions without their consent. The CSRF flaw leads to stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS), where malicious scripts are persistently injected into the application, potentially affecting all users who access the compromised content. The vulnerability is remotely exploitable over the network without requiring any privileges or prior authentication, though it does require user interaction (e.g., clicking a crafted link). The CVSS v3.1 score of 8.8 reflects the high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability, indicating that attackers can steal sensitive data, manipulate content, hijack user sessions, and disrupt service availability. The plugin is commonly used in Prestashop e-commerce environments, which are widely deployed across Europe. No official patches or exploit code are currently publicly available, but the risk remains significant due to the nature of the vulnerability and the criticality of the affected systems.

For European organizations, especially those operating e-commerce platforms using Prestashop with the Did Prestashop Display plugin, this vulnerability can lead to severe consequences. Attackers exploiting the CSRF flaw can inject persistent malicious scripts, enabling theft of customer data such as payment information, credentials, and personal details. This compromises customer trust and can result in regulatory penalties under GDPR due to data breaches. Additionally, attackers can manipulate website content, conduct fraudulent transactions, or disrupt service availability, impacting business operations and revenue. The ease of exploitation without authentication increases the threat landscape, potentially allowing widespread attacks. The stored XSS aspect also raises the risk of malware distribution and further lateral attacks within the affected networks. Given the prominence of e-commerce in countries like Germany, France, and the UK, the economic and reputational impact could be substantial.

1. Immediately identify and disable the Did Prestashop Display plugin version 1.0.30 or earlier on all Prestashop installations. 2. Monitor vendor channels and security advisories for official patches or updates addressing CVE-2025-62945 and apply them promptly once available. 3. Implement robust CSRF protections such as synchronizer tokens or double-submit cookies in the web application to prevent unauthorized request forgery. 4. Conduct a thorough security audit of the Prestashop environment to detect any signs of exploitation or stored XSS payloads and remove malicious content. 5. Educate users and administrators about the risks of clicking untrusted links and encourage the use of security best practices. 6. Employ Content Security Policy (CSP) headers to mitigate the impact of potential XSS attacks by restricting script execution sources. 7. Regularly update all plugins and dependencies to their latest secure versions and maintain an inventory of third-party components. 8. Consider implementing web application firewalls (WAF) with rules tailored to detect and block CSRF and XSS attack patterns specific to Prestashop environments.
