CVE-2025-64226 is a Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerability identified in the colabrio Stockie Extra product, affecting all versions up to and including 1.2.11. CSRF vulnerabilities occur when a web application does not sufficiently verify that a request originates from an authenticated and authorized user, allowing attackers to craft malicious web requests that execute unwanted actions on behalf of the user. In this case, an attacker can exploit the vulnerability by luring an authenticated user into visiting a malicious website or clicking a crafted link, which then triggers unauthorized requests to the Stockie Extra application. The vulnerability does not require the attacker to have any privileges or prior authentication, but it does require the victim user to be logged into the vulnerable application and to interact with the malicious content (user interaction). The CVSS vector indicates the attack is network-based (AV:N), requires low attack complexity (AC:L), no privileges (PR:N), but does require user interaction (UI:R). The impact is limited to confidentiality loss (C:L) with no impact on integrity or availability. No known public exploits or patches are currently available, and the vulnerability was published on October 29, 2025. The lack of patches means organizations must rely on mitigation strategies until an official fix is released.

For European organizations, the primary risk posed by this CSRF vulnerability is unauthorized disclosure of sensitive information accessible through the Stockie Extra application, potentially including stock or inventory data. While the vulnerability does not allow modification or deletion of data, confidentiality breaches can lead to competitive disadvantages or leakage of business-sensitive information. Organizations with employees who frequently access Stockie Extra via web browsers are at risk if users are tricked into visiting malicious sites. The impact is more pronounced in sectors relying heavily on stock management software, such as retail, manufacturing, and logistics. Since the vulnerability requires user interaction, social engineering or phishing campaigns could be leveraged by attackers to exploit it. The absence of known exploits reduces immediate risk, but the presence of the vulnerability in widely used versions means European companies should proactively address it to avoid future exploitation.

To mitigate this CSRF vulnerability, organizations should implement several specific measures: 1) Deploy anti-CSRF tokens in all state-changing requests within the Stockie Extra application to ensure requests originate from legitimate users. 2) Enforce strict validation of the HTTP Referer and Origin headers to confirm requests come from trusted sources. 3) Encourage users to log out of the application when not in use to reduce the window of opportunity for exploitation. 4) Educate employees about phishing and social engineering tactics that could lead to CSRF attacks, emphasizing caution when clicking links from untrusted sources. 5) Monitor web traffic for unusual or suspicious request patterns that may indicate exploitation attempts. 6) Coordinate with the vendor (colabrio) to obtain patches or updates as soon as they become available and apply them promptly. 7) Consider implementing web application firewalls (WAFs) with CSRF protection rules to provide an additional layer of defense. These steps go beyond generic advice by focusing on both technical controls and user awareness tailored to the specific vulnerability context.
