CVE-2025-67569 identifies a Missing Authorization vulnerability in the scriptsbundle AdForest product, specifically affecting versions up to and including 6.0.11. This vulnerability stems from improperly configured access control mechanisms within the application, allowing unauthorized users to perform actions that should be restricted. The vulnerability is classified under access control issues where security levels are incorrectly set or enforced, leading to potential unauthorized modification of data or application state. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 5.3, reflecting a medium severity level, with the vector indicating network attack vector (AV:N), low attack complexity (AC:L), no privileges required (PR:N), no user interaction (UI:N), unchanged scope (S:U), no confidentiality impact (C:N), low integrity impact (I:L), and no availability impact (A:N). This means an attacker can exploit the vulnerability remotely without authentication or user interaction, potentially altering data or application behavior. The vulnerability does not affect confidentiality or availability but can compromise data integrity. No known exploits are currently reported in the wild, and no official patches have been linked, suggesting the vulnerability is either newly disclosed or not yet widely exploited. The affected product, AdForest, is a classified ads and marketplace platform used by various organizations to manage listings and transactions. The missing authorization could allow attackers to manipulate listings, user data, or other critical functions, undermining trust and operational integrity. The vulnerability was published on December 9, 2025, by Patchstack, indicating a recent disclosure. Organizations using AdForest should prioritize reviewing their access control configurations and prepare for vendor patches or updates.

For European organizations, the impact of CVE-2025-67569 primarily concerns the integrity of data and operations within classified ads or marketplace platforms powered by AdForest. Unauthorized modifications could lead to fraudulent listings, manipulation of user accounts, or disruption of normal business processes, potentially damaging reputation and customer trust. While confidentiality and availability are not directly affected, the integrity compromise can have downstream effects such as financial loss, legal liabilities, and erosion of user confidence. Organizations relying on AdForest for critical marketplace functions may face operational disruptions if attackers exploit this vulnerability to alter or delete listings or user information. The lack of required authentication and user interaction makes exploitation easier, increasing the risk of automated or mass attacks. Given the medium severity, the threat is significant but not immediately critical; however, failure to address it could escalate risks over time. European regulatory frameworks such as GDPR may also impose obligations to protect user data integrity, making remediation important to avoid compliance issues.

1. Immediately audit and review access control configurations within AdForest installations to identify and correct any improperly set permissions or security levels. 2. Restrict access to sensitive functions and data to authorized users only, implementing the principle of least privilege. 3. Monitor application logs and user activity for unusual or unauthorized actions that could indicate exploitation attempts. 4. Engage with the vendor or community to obtain patches or updates addressing this vulnerability as soon as they become available. 5. If patches are not yet available, consider deploying web application firewalls (WAFs) with custom rules to block suspicious requests targeting known vulnerable endpoints. 6. Conduct penetration testing focused on access control mechanisms to validate the effectiveness of implemented controls. 7. Educate administrators and developers on secure configuration practices to prevent similar issues in the future. 8. Implement multi-factor authentication and session management improvements to reduce the risk of unauthorized access. 9. Maintain an incident response plan tailored to web application attacks to quickly respond if exploitation is detected. 10. Regularly update and patch all components of the AdForest platform and underlying infrastructure to minimize exposure.
