CVE-2025-68517 identifies a Missing Authorization vulnerability in the Essekia Tablesome product, affecting all versions up to and including 1.1.35.1. This vulnerability stems from incorrectly configured access control security levels, which means that the software does not properly verify whether a user has the necessary permissions before allowing access to certain functions or data. As a result, unauthorized users could exploit this flaw to bypass security restrictions, potentially accessing sensitive information or performing unauthorized operations within the application. The vulnerability does not require prior authentication or user interaction, increasing the risk of exploitation. Although no known exploits have been reported in the wild, the absence of patches and the fundamental nature of the access control failure make this a significant security concern. The vulnerability impacts confidentiality by exposing data to unauthorized parties and integrity by allowing unauthorized changes. The lack of a CVSS score necessitates an expert severity assessment, which indicates a high risk due to the broad scope of affected versions, ease of exploitation, and potential impact. Organizations using Tablesome should urgently assess their deployment for this vulnerability and implement compensating controls until an official patch is released.

For European organizations, this vulnerability poses a significant risk to data confidentiality and integrity, especially for those relying on Tablesome for managing sensitive or regulated data. Unauthorized access could lead to data breaches, compliance violations (e.g., GDPR), and reputational damage. The ability to bypass authorization controls may also enable attackers to manipulate data or disrupt business processes, potentially affecting availability indirectly. Sectors such as finance, healthcare, and government agencies that handle critical or personal data are particularly vulnerable. The lack of known exploits currently reduces immediate threat but does not eliminate the risk, as attackers may develop exploits once details become widely known. The vulnerability's presence in multiple versions increases the attack surface across organizations that have not updated or audited their access controls recently.

European organizations should immediately conduct a thorough audit of their Tablesome access control configurations to identify and correct any improperly set permissions or security levels. Implement strict role-based access controls (RBAC) and enforce the principle of least privilege to minimize exposure. Monitor logs and user activities for anomalous access patterns that could indicate exploitation attempts. Until an official patch is released by Essekia, consider deploying network segmentation and application-layer firewalls to restrict access to Tablesome instances. Engage with Essekia support channels to obtain guidance and prioritize patch deployment once available. Additionally, incorporate this vulnerability into incident response plans and conduct staff training to recognize potential exploitation indicators. Regularly review and update security policies related to application authorization mechanisms.
