CVE-2025-69752 is a security vulnerability identified in Ideagen Q-Pulse version 7.1.0.32, specifically within the 'My Details' user profile functionality. The issue arises because the application fails to properly validate the 'objectKey' HTTP parameter in the URL of the 'My Details' page. An authenticated user can manipulate this parameter to access profile information belonging to other users, effectively bypassing intended access controls. This vulnerability does not require elevated privileges beyond a valid user login, making it accessible to any authenticated user. The flaw leads to unauthorized disclosure of potentially sensitive personal information stored within user profiles, which may include contact details, roles, or other organizational data. No CVSS score has been assigned yet, and there are no known exploits in the wild or patches released. The vulnerability highlights a common web application security issue related to insufficient authorization checks on user-supplied parameters. Organizations relying on Ideagen Q-Pulse for quality and compliance management should consider this a significant privacy risk and prioritize remediation once patches become available.

The primary impact of CVE-2025-69752 is the unauthorized disclosure of user profile information, which compromises confidentiality. For European organizations, this could lead to violations of data protection regulations such as GDPR, especially if personal data is exposed without consent. The breach of user data could undermine trust in the organization's internal systems and potentially expose sensitive operational details. While the vulnerability does not allow modification or deletion of data, the exposure of user information can facilitate social engineering attacks or insider threats. Organizations in sectors with stringent compliance requirements—such as healthcare, manufacturing, and aerospace—may face regulatory scrutiny and reputational damage. The requirement for authentication limits the attack surface to insiders or compromised accounts, but the ease of exploitation post-authentication increases risk. Overall, the vulnerability could disrupt internal security postures and necessitate incident response efforts.

To mitigate CVE-2025-69752, organizations should implement strict server-side validation and authorization checks on the 'objectKey' parameter to ensure users can only access their own profile data. Employing role-based access controls (RBAC) and least privilege principles will limit the potential for unauthorized data access. Monitoring and logging access to user profile pages can help detect anomalous behavior indicative of exploitation attempts. Until an official patch is released by Ideagen, consider restricting access to the Q-Pulse application to trusted networks or VPNs and enforce strong authentication mechanisms, including multi-factor authentication (MFA). Conduct regular security assessments and penetration testing focused on parameter manipulation vulnerabilities. Additionally, educate users about the risks of sharing credentials and monitor for compromised accounts. Once a patch is available, prioritize timely deployment to remediate the vulnerability effectively.
