CVE-2025-8530 is a medium-severity vulnerability affecting elunez's eladmin product versions 2.0 through 2.7. The vulnerability arises from the use of default credentials embedded in the configuration file application-prod.yml, specifically related to the Druid component within eladmin. An attacker can manipulate the login-username and login-password parameters remotely without requiring authentication or user interaction, exploiting the default credentials to gain unauthorized access. The vulnerability is classified as problematic due to the potential for unauthorized remote access, which could lead to further exploitation or data exposure. The CVSS 4.0 score of 6.9 reflects the network attack vector, low complexity, no privileges or user interaction required, and limited confidentiality impact. Although no known exploits are currently observed in the wild, the public disclosure of the exploit increases the risk of exploitation. The vulnerability stems from insecure default configuration management, a common security oversight that can be mitigated by enforcing credential changes and secure configuration practices.

For European organizations using eladmin versions 2.0 to 2.7, this vulnerability poses a significant risk of unauthorized access to internal systems or administrative interfaces. Exploitation could lead to unauthorized data access, potential lateral movement within networks, and compromise of system integrity. Given eladmin's role as an administrative platform, attackers could manipulate system configurations or access sensitive operational data. The remote, unauthenticated nature of the attack vector increases the threat level, especially for organizations exposing eladmin interfaces to the internet or poorly segmented internal networks. This vulnerability could impact sectors with critical infrastructure or sensitive data, including finance, healthcare, and government entities in Europe, potentially leading to data breaches, operational disruptions, and regulatory compliance issues under GDPR.

European organizations should immediately audit their eladmin deployments to identify affected versions (2.0 through 2.7). Specific mitigations include: 1) Changing all default credentials in the application-prod.yml configuration file to strong, unique passwords; 2) Restricting network access to eladmin interfaces using firewalls or VPNs to limit exposure; 3) Implementing multi-factor authentication (MFA) where possible to add an additional security layer; 4) Monitoring logs for unusual login attempts or access patterns indicative of exploitation attempts; 5) Applying any available patches or updates from elunez as soon as they are released; 6) Conducting configuration reviews to ensure no other default or weak credentials exist; 7) Employing network segmentation to isolate administrative interfaces from general user networks; 8) Educating system administrators on secure configuration management to prevent recurrence.
