CVE-2025-7948 is a medium-severity vulnerability affecting jshERP versions 3.0 through 3.5. The vulnerability resides in the password recovery functionality located at the endpoint /jshERP-boot/user/updatePwd. The issue is characterized as a weak password recovery mechanism that can be exploited remotely without user interaction or prior authentication. According to the CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:L/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:P), the attack requires low complexity and no user interaction, but does require low privileges (PR:L), indicating that an attacker must have some limited access or credentials to initiate the exploit. The vulnerability impacts the integrity of user accounts by allowing attackers to manipulate the password recovery process, potentially resetting passwords or bypassing normal recovery controls. Although no known exploits are currently observed in the wild, the public disclosure of the exploit increases the risk of exploitation. The vulnerability does not affect confidentiality or availability directly but poses a risk to account integrity and could lead to unauthorized access if exploited. The lack of patches or mitigation links suggests that organizations must rely on alternative controls until an official fix is released.

For European organizations using jshERP versions 3.0 to 3.5, this vulnerability presents a tangible risk of unauthorized account takeover through exploitation of the weak password recovery process. Given that jshERP is an enterprise resource planning system, compromise of user accounts could lead to unauthorized access to sensitive business data, manipulation of financial records, or disruption of business operations. The medium CVSS score reflects moderate risk, but the remote exploitability and absence of required user interaction increase the threat surface. Organizations in sectors such as manufacturing, logistics, and services that rely on jshERP for operational management could face reputational damage, regulatory scrutiny under GDPR if personal data is accessed, and financial losses. The requirement for low privileges to exploit means that insider threats or attackers who have obtained limited credentials could escalate their access. The absence of known active exploitation provides a window for mitigation, but the public availability of the exploit code increases the urgency for European organizations to assess and remediate this vulnerability promptly.

1. Immediate assessment of jshERP deployments to identify affected versions (3.0 through 3.5) is critical. 2. Restrict access to the /jshERP-boot/user/updatePwd endpoint by implementing network-level controls such as IP whitelisting or VPN-only access to reduce exposure. 3. Enforce multi-factor authentication (MFA) for all user accounts to mitigate the risk of unauthorized password resets. 4. Monitor logs for unusual password recovery requests or multiple failed attempts to detect potential exploitation attempts early. 5. If possible, temporarily disable the vulnerable password recovery functionality or replace it with a custom secure mechanism until an official patch is released. 6. Engage with the jshERP vendor or community to obtain or request a security patch and apply it as soon as it becomes available. 7. Educate users about phishing and social engineering risks that could compound the impact of this vulnerability. 8. Conduct penetration testing focused on password recovery workflows to validate the effectiveness of mitigations.
