CVSS:3.1/AC:L/AV:N/A:N/C:H/I:N/PR:N/S:U/UI:N

Attack Complexity: Low
Attack Vector: Network
Availability: None
Confidentiality: High
Integrity: None
Privileges Required: None
Scope: Unchanged
User Interaction: None

Bold values are the worst case: easiest to exploit or largest impact.

Attack Complexity: Low: Specialized access conditions or extenuating circumstances do not exist. An attacker can expect repeatable success against the vulnerable component.
Attack Vector: Network: The vulnerable component is bound to the network stack and the set of possible attackers extends beyond the other options listed, up to and including the entire Internet. Such a vulnerability is often termed 'remotely exploitable' and can be thought of as an attack being exploitable at the protocol level one or more network hops away (e.g., across one or more routers).
Availability: None: There is no impact to availability within the impacted component.
Confidentiality: High: There is total loss of confidentiality, resulting in all resources within the impacted component being divulged to the attacker. Alternatively, access to only some restricted information is obtained, but the disclosed information presents a direct, serious impact.
Integrity: None: There is no loss of integrity within the impacted component.
Privileges Required: None: The attacker is unauthorized prior to attack, and therefore does not require any access to settings or files to carry out an attack.
Scope: Unchanged: An exploited vulnerability can only affect resources managed by the same security authority. In this case, the vulnerable component and the impacted component are either the same, or both are managed by the same security authority.
User Interaction: None: The vulnerable system can be exploited without any interaction from any user.

A missing step is not evidence of safety. Sources: cve.org (opens in a new tab), the Metasploit, Exploit-DB and nuclei-templates index as of 26 Oct 2026.

Disclosed: The CVE record is public on cve.org. Its publication is t = 0.
Detectable: A public nuclei template can find exposed instances, for defenders and attackers alike.
Weaponised: Public exploit code exists in Metasploit or Exploit-DB, or CISA SSVC or the CVSS exploit maturity reports a public proof of concept.
Exploited in the wild: CISA KEV lists it, CISA SSVC rates exploitation active, or a source reports attacks.
Observed by OffSeq Mirage: OffSeq Mirage honeypot sensors recorded attack traffic for this CVE, or found exposed hosts without attack traffic.

Moments are spaced evenly, not to scale; a dashed line marks a gap of six months or more. Deltas count from t = 0. Sources that give only a date (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, or a time of exactly 00:00Z) read “same day” rather than hours. Metasploit modules carry the flaw’s disclosure date, not their release date, and nuclei templates carry no date, so both appear above but not on the timeline.

What to do

AI-suggested

To mitigate CVE-2025-70148, organizations should immediately implement strict authentication and authorization checks on the print_membership_card.php endpoint to ensure only authorized users can access their own membership data. Input validation should be enforced to prevent manipulation of the 'id' parameter. If possible, apply access control mechanisms such as session validation, role-based access control (RBAC), or attribute-based access control (ABAC) to restrict data access. Conduct a thorough code review and penetration test to identify similar IDOR vulnerabilities elsewhere in the application. If a patch from the vendor becomes available, apply it promptly. As a temporary measure, restrict external access to the vulnerable endpoint via network controls or web application firewalls (WAFs) with rules to detect and block suspicious parameter tampering. Additionally, monitor logs for unusual access patterns to detect exploitation attempts. Educate developers on secure coding practices to prevent future IDOR issues.

Description

Missing authentication and authorization in print_membership_card.php in CodeAstro Membership Management System 1.0 allows unauthenticated attackers to access membership card data of arbitrary users via direct requests with a manipulated id parameter, resulting in insecure direct object reference (IDOR).

Impact

For European organizations, this vulnerability poses a significant risk to the confidentiality of personal data managed within membership systems. Unauthorized access to membership card data can lead to privacy violations, identity theft, and reputational damage. Given the strict data protection regulations in Europe, such as GDPR, exposure of personal data can result in substantial fines and legal consequences. Membership-based organizations, including clubs, associations, and service providers, may suffer loss of trust from their members. The vulnerability could also be leveraged as a foothold for further attacks if membership data is linked to other internal systems. The ease of exploitation without authentication increases the attack surface, making widespread data leakage possible if the system is internet-facing. This risk is amplified in sectors with high membership volumes or sensitive member information, such as healthcare, education, or financial services.

Class weaknessLikelihood of exploit: HighCWE Top 25 (2025): #4OWASP Top 10 A01:2025: Broken Access Control (opens in a new tab)
The product does not perform an authorization check when an actor attempts to access a resource or perform an action.
Architecture and Design
Divide the product into anonymous, normal, privileged, and administrative areas. Reduce the attack surface by carefully mapping roles with data and functionality. Use role-based access control (RBAC) to enforce the roles at the appropriate boundaries.
Architecture and Design
Ensure that access control checks are performed related to the business logic. These checks may be different than the access control checks that are applied to more generic resources such as files, connections, processes, memory, and database records.
Architecture and Design · Libraries or Frameworks
Use a vetted library or framework that does not allow this weakness to occur or provides constructs that make this weakness easier to avoid.
