CVE-2025-7358 is a vulnerability classified under CWE-798, indicating the use of hard-coded credentials within the SoliClub software developed by Utarit Informatics Services Inc. Versions prior to 5.3.7 contain embedded static credentials that are hard-coded into the application code or configuration files. This design flaw allows attackers to bypass authentication mechanisms remotely without requiring any privileges or user interaction, as indicated by the CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N). The vulnerability primarily impacts confidentiality by granting unauthorized access to potentially sensitive information or administrative functions within SoliClub. Since the vulnerability does not affect integrity or availability, the attacker’s ability is limited to unauthorized access rather than system manipulation or denial of service. The vulnerability was reserved in July 2025 and published in December 2025, with no known exploits currently active in the wild. The lack of patch links suggests that organizations must seek updates directly from the vendor or monitor for forthcoming patches. The presence of hard-coded credentials is a critical security anti-pattern that can be exploited by attackers who gain network access to the affected systems. This vulnerability is particularly concerning for environments where SoliClub is exposed to untrusted networks or the internet. The attacker can leverage this flaw to gain unauthorized access, potentially leading to further lateral movement or data exfiltration within the affected network.

For European organizations, the impact of CVE-2025-7358 is significant due to the potential unauthorized access to sensitive data or administrative functions within SoliClub deployments. Confidentiality breaches could lead to exposure of personal data, intellectual property, or operational information, which may result in regulatory penalties under GDPR and damage to organizational reputation. Since the vulnerability allows remote exploitation without authentication, attackers can compromise systems even in the absence of insider threats. The lack of impact on integrity and availability limits the scope to unauthorized access, but this can still facilitate further attacks such as privilege escalation or lateral movement. Organizations in sectors such as finance, healthcare, and critical infrastructure using SoliClub are at heightened risk. Additionally, the vulnerability could be leveraged in targeted attacks or espionage campaigns against European entities. The absence of known exploits currently provides a window for proactive mitigation before widespread exploitation occurs.

European organizations should immediately verify their SoliClub version and upgrade to version 5.3.7 or later once available to eliminate the hard-coded credentials. Until patches are applied, network segmentation should be enforced to restrict access to SoliClub instances, limiting exposure to trusted internal networks only. Implement strict access controls and monitor authentication logs for unusual access patterns indicative of exploitation attempts. Conduct code audits or configuration reviews to identify and remove any hard-coded credentials if custom deployments exist. Employ multi-factor authentication (MFA) on systems interfacing with SoliClub to add an additional security layer. Regularly update and patch all related software components and maintain an incident response plan tailored to authentication abuse scenarios. Engage with the vendor for timely security advisories and patches. Finally, raise user awareness about the risks of unauthorized access and ensure that security policies reflect the need to protect authentication mechanisms.
