CVE-2025-7014 identifies a session fixation vulnerability classified under CWE-384 in the QR Menu Pro Smart Menu Systems Menu Panel, a digital menu management solution widely used in hospitality and restaurant environments. Session fixation occurs when an attacker can set or predict a valid session identifier before the user logs in, allowing the attacker to hijack the authenticated session once the user authenticates. This vulnerability affects versions up to 29012026. The technical details indicate that the vulnerability allows an attacker with some level of privileges (PR:L) and requiring user interaction (UI:R) to fixate a session ID, leading to session hijacking. The CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N) shows that the attack can be performed remotely over the network with low complexity, but requires prior authentication and user interaction. The impact is primarily on confidentiality, as attackers can access user sessions and potentially sensitive information, but there is no direct impact on integrity or availability. The vendor has not responded to early disclosure attempts, and no patches or mitigation tools have been released, increasing the risk for users. No known exploits are currently reported in the wild, but the vulnerability remains a significant risk due to the nature of session fixation attacks and the lack of vendor response.

The primary impact of CVE-2025-7014 is unauthorized access to user sessions, leading to potential exposure of sensitive information such as user credentials, personal data, or order details within the QR Menu Pro system. This can result in privacy violations, fraud, or unauthorized actions performed under the hijacked session. Since the vulnerability does not affect data integrity or system availability, the risk is confined to confidentiality breaches. However, in environments where these menu systems interface with payment or backend order processing systems, session hijacking could facilitate fraudulent transactions or unauthorized order manipulations. The requirement for prior authentication and user interaction limits the attack surface but does not eliminate risk, especially in environments with many users or where social engineering could be employed. The lack of vendor response and absence of patches increases exposure time, raising the likelihood of exploitation once public details are widely known. Organizations relying on this product globally, particularly in hospitality sectors, face reputational damage, regulatory compliance issues, and potential financial losses if exploited.

1. Implement strict session management policies including regenerating session IDs upon authentication and ensuring session IDs are not accepted from untrusted sources. 2. Enforce secure cookie attributes such as HttpOnly, Secure, and SameSite to reduce session hijacking risks. 3. Monitor and log session activities to detect anomalies indicative of session fixation or hijacking attempts. 4. Educate users and staff about phishing and social engineering risks that could facilitate session fixation attacks. 5. Restrict access to the Menu Panel to trusted networks or VPNs where feasible to reduce exposure. 6. Use multi-factor authentication (MFA) to add an additional layer of security beyond session tokens. 7. Since no patch is available, consider deploying web application firewalls (WAFs) with custom rules to detect and block suspicious session fixation patterns. 8. Regularly review and update session timeout settings to minimize the window of opportunity for attackers. 9. Engage with the vendor or consider alternative solutions if the vendor remains unresponsive to security disclosures. 10. Conduct penetration testing focused on session management to identify and remediate weaknesses proactively.
