CVE-2025-65962 is a Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerability identified in Enalean's Tuleap software, an open-source suite for software development management and collaboration. The vulnerability exists in the tracker field dependencies component, where CSRF protections are missing or insufficient in versions prior to 17.0.99.1763803709 for the Community Edition and prior to 17.0-4 and 16.13-9 for the Enterprise Edition. This flaw enables attackers to craft malicious web requests that, when executed by an authenticated user, can modify tracker fields without the user's consent. The attack vector requires network access (remote), low attack complexity, and privileges with some level of authentication, as well as user interaction to trigger the malicious request. The vulnerability impacts data integrity by allowing unauthorized modifications and availability by potentially disrupting tracker functionality. The CVSS v3.1 base score is 4.6 (medium), reflecting these factors. No confidentiality impact is noted. No known exploits have been reported in the wild as of the published date. The issue is resolved by upgrading to the patched versions specified by Enalean. Given Tuleap's role in managing software development workflows, exploitation could disrupt project tracking and collaboration processes.

For European organizations, especially those relying on Tuleap for software development and project management, this vulnerability poses a risk to the integrity and availability of critical project tracking data. Unauthorized modifications to tracker fields could lead to misinformation, project delays, or disruption of collaboration workflows. While the confidentiality impact is negligible, the integrity and availability impacts could affect decision-making and operational continuity. Organizations in sectors with stringent compliance and audit requirements (e.g., finance, healthcare, government) may face additional risks if project data integrity is compromised. The requirement for user interaction and authentication reduces the likelihood of widespread exploitation but does not eliminate risk, particularly in environments with many users or where social engineering is feasible. The absence of known exploits suggests a window for proactive mitigation. However, the presence of this vulnerability in widely used versions means European entities using outdated Tuleap installations should act promptly to avoid potential targeted attacks.

1. Immediately upgrade Tuleap installations to Community Edition version 17.0.99.1763803709 or Enterprise Edition versions 17.0-4 or 16.13-9 as applicable. 2. Implement additional CSRF protections at the web application firewall (WAF) level to detect and block suspicious cross-site requests targeting Tuleap endpoints. 3. Enforce strict Content Security Policy (CSP) headers to reduce the risk of malicious script execution that could facilitate CSRF attacks. 4. Educate users about the risks of clicking on untrusted links while authenticated to Tuleap, emphasizing cautious behavior to prevent social engineering exploitation. 5. Regularly audit and monitor tracker field changes for unusual or unauthorized modifications to detect potential exploitation attempts early. 6. Restrict Tuleap access to trusted networks or VPNs to limit exposure to external attackers. 7. Review and minimize user privileges within Tuleap to reduce the impact scope if an account is compromised. 8. Stay informed on Tuleap security advisories for any further updates or patches.
