CVE-2025-65925 identifies a security weakness in Zeroheight, a SaaS platform, discovered prior to June 13, 2025. The vulnerability stems from a legacy user creation API pathway that allowed new accounts to be created without enforcing the intended email verification step. This flaw means that attackers or automated scripts could create multiple unverified accounts bypassing the verification process. Although these unverified accounts do not grant access to the platform's product functionality, the ability to create accounts without verification undermines the platform's authentication controls. This could lead to spam or fake account creation, potentially resulting in resource exhaustion or degraded service performance. Importantly, there is no indication that this vulnerability allows unauthorized access to existing user accounts or exposure of sensitive data. The CVSS v3.1 base score is 6.5 (medium severity), reflecting network attack vector, low attack complexity, no privileges required, no user interaction, unchanged scope, no confidentiality impact, low integrity impact, and low availability impact. The vulnerability is categorized under CWE-287, indicating improper authentication mechanisms. No patches or exploits are currently reported, but the issue is publicly disclosed and should be mitigated.

For European organizations using Zeroheight, this vulnerability could facilitate automated creation of large numbers of unverified accounts, which may be exploited for spam campaigns or to consume platform resources, potentially leading to service degradation or denial of service conditions. While the direct impact on confidentiality and integrity is low, the availability of the service could be affected if resource exhaustion occurs. Additionally, the presence of numerous fake accounts could complicate user management and analytics, impacting operational efficiency. Organizations in sectors with strict compliance requirements may face reputational risks if the platform is abused for malicious activities. Since no unauthorized access to existing accounts or data leakage is reported, the direct risk to sensitive information is minimal. However, the vulnerability could be leveraged as part of a broader attack chain or social engineering campaigns targeting European enterprises.

European organizations should immediately review their use of Zeroheight and confirm whether they are running affected versions prior to the June 13, 2025 fix. Since no official patch links are provided, organizations should contact Zeroheight support to obtain or confirm the availability of a fix that enforces email verification on all account creations. In the interim, organizations can implement compensating controls such as monitoring account creation logs for spikes in unverified accounts, rate limiting API calls related to user creation, and deploying CAPTCHA or other bot mitigation techniques on account registration endpoints if configurable. Additionally, integrating Zeroheight with identity providers that enforce strong authentication and verification can reduce reliance on the vulnerable legacy API. Regular audits of user accounts to identify and remove unverified or suspicious accounts will help maintain platform hygiene. Finally, organizations should update incident response plans to include detection and mitigation of abuse stemming from fake account creation.
