CVE-2025-67534 is a vulnerability classified as Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) in the Jacques Malgrange Rencontre web application, affecting versions up to and including 3.13.7. The vulnerability enables an attacker to trick authenticated users into submitting malicious requests unknowingly, which results in Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS). Stored XSS occurs when malicious scripts are permanently stored on the target server, such as in a database, and executed in the context of other users' browsers, potentially leading to session hijacking, data theft, or further exploitation. The CVSS 3.1 score of 7.1 reflects a high severity, primarily due to the vulnerability's network attack vector (AV:N), low attack complexity (AC:L), no privileges required (PR:N), but requiring user interaction (UI:R). The impact is high on confidentiality (C:H), low on integrity (I:L), and none on availability (A:N). No patches or known exploits are currently available, indicating the vulnerability is newly disclosed. The lack of CWE identifiers limits detailed classification, but the combination of CSRF and stored XSS suggests weaknesses in request validation and output encoding. This vulnerability is particularly dangerous in web applications handling sensitive user data or authentication tokens, as it can lead to unauthorized actions and persistent client-side code execution.

For European organizations, the impact of CVE-2025-67534 can be significant, especially for those relying on the Rencontre platform for user interactions or data management. The Stored XSS resulting from CSRF can lead to theft of session cookies, user credentials, or personal data, violating GDPR requirements and causing reputational damage. Attackers could leverage this vulnerability to perform unauthorized actions on behalf of users, potentially escalating privileges or manipulating data. The confidentiality of sensitive information is at high risk, while integrity is moderately affected. Availability is not directly impacted, but secondary effects such as account lockouts or service disruptions could occur. Organizations in sectors like finance, healthcare, or government using Rencontre are particularly vulnerable to targeted attacks exploiting this flaw. Additionally, the requirement for user interaction means phishing or social engineering campaigns could facilitate exploitation, increasing the attack surface. Failure to address this vulnerability promptly could lead to regulatory penalties and loss of customer trust.

To mitigate CVE-2025-67534 effectively, organizations should implement several specific measures beyond generic advice: 1) Deploy anti-CSRF tokens in all state-changing requests to ensure that requests originate from legitimate users. 2) Enforce strict input validation and output encoding to prevent injection of malicious scripts that lead to Stored XSS. 3) Conduct a thorough security review of the Rencontre application code, focusing on request handling and user input sanitization. 4) Educate users about phishing and social engineering tactics that could trigger CSRF attacks, emphasizing cautious behavior with unsolicited links. 5) Monitor web server and application logs for unusual patterns indicative of CSRF or XSS exploitation attempts. 6) Apply web application firewalls (WAFs) with rules tailored to detect and block CSRF and XSS payloads. 7) Prepare for patch deployment by establishing communication channels with the vendor and tracking updates closely. 8) Consider isolating or restricting access to the Rencontre platform where feasible until patches are available. These targeted actions will reduce the risk of exploitation and limit the potential damage from this vulnerability.
