CVE-2025-7948 is a vulnerability identified in jshERP versions up to 3.5, specifically affecting an unknown functionality within the /jshERP-boot/user/updatePwd endpoint. The vulnerability is characterized as a weak password recovery mechanism that can be exploited remotely without requiring user interaction or elevated privileges beyond limited privileges (PR:L). The CVSS 4.0 vector indicates that the attack can be performed over the network (AV:N) with low attack complexity (AC:L), no authentication required (AT:N), and no user interaction (UI:N). The vulnerability impacts the integrity of the password recovery process (VI:L), potentially allowing an attacker to reset or recover user passwords in an unauthorized manner. This could lead to unauthorized access to user accounts within the jshERP system. The weakness lies in the password recovery functionality, which may allow attackers to bypass normal authentication or verification steps, thereby compromising account security. Although the exploit has been publicly disclosed, there are no known exploits actively used in the wild at the time of reporting. The vulnerability is rated as medium severity with a CVSS score of 5.3, reflecting moderate risk due to the potential for unauthorized access but limited scope and impact on availability or confidentiality. The lack of patches or mitigation links suggests that organizations using affected versions of jshERP should prioritize investigation and remediation efforts.

For European organizations, the impact of CVE-2025-7948 can be significant, especially for those relying on jshERP for enterprise resource planning and business management. Exploitation of this vulnerability could allow attackers to reset passwords of legitimate users, leading to unauthorized access to sensitive business data, manipulation of financial records, or disruption of business operations. This could result in data integrity issues, financial losses, and reputational damage. Given the remote exploitability and lack of user interaction, attackers could automate attacks at scale, targeting multiple organizations. The medium severity rating suggests that while the vulnerability is not critical, it still poses a tangible risk that could be leveraged as part of a broader attack chain. European organizations in sectors such as manufacturing, logistics, and services that use jshERP may face increased risk of insider threat impersonation or external compromise. Additionally, regulatory compliance requirements under GDPR mandate protection of personal and business data, so exploitation could lead to legal and financial penalties.

Organizations should immediately audit their jshERP deployments to identify affected versions (3.0 through 3.5). Since no official patches are currently linked, mitigation should focus on compensating controls: 1) Restrict network access to the /jshERP-boot/user/updatePwd endpoint using firewalls or web application firewalls (WAFs) to limit exposure to trusted IP addresses only. 2) Implement multi-factor authentication (MFA) on user accounts to reduce the impact of password recovery bypass. 3) Monitor logs for unusual password reset activities or multiple failed attempts targeting the recovery endpoint. 4) Temporarily disable or restrict password recovery functionality if feasible until a patch is available. 5) Engage with the jshERP vendor or community for updates or patches addressing this vulnerability. 6) Educate users on reporting suspicious account activities promptly. 7) Conduct penetration testing focused on password recovery workflows to identify any additional weaknesses. These targeted mitigations go beyond generic advice by focusing on access control, monitoring, and user awareness specific to the vulnerable functionality.
