CVE-2025-9342 is an authorization bypass vulnerability classified under CWE-639 (Authorization Bypass Through User-Controlled Key) affecting the AHE Mobile application developed by Anadolu Hayat Emeklilik Inc. Specifically, versions from 1.9.7 up to but not including 1.9.9 are vulnerable. The flaw allows an attacker with limited privileges (PR:L) to abuse authorization mechanisms by manipulating user-controlled keys, thereby bypassing intended access controls without requiring user interaction (UI:N). The vulnerability is exploitable remotely over the network (AV:N) with low attack complexity (AC:L). The impact primarily affects confidentiality (C:H), allowing unauthorized access to sensitive data, but does not affect integrity or availability. The vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 6.5, indicating a medium severity level. No known exploits are currently reported in the wild, and no official patches have been linked yet. The vulnerability was published on September 23, 2025, and assigned by TR-CERT. This issue is critical for applications handling sensitive personal or financial data, as unauthorized privilege escalation can lead to data leakage or privacy violations.

For European organizations, especially those operating in the insurance, financial, or pension sectors that might use or integrate Anadolu Hayat Emeklilik's AHE Mobile app or similar mobile platforms, this vulnerability poses a significant risk. Unauthorized access to sensitive user data could lead to privacy breaches, regulatory non-compliance (e.g., GDPR violations), and reputational damage. Since the vulnerability allows privilege abuse without user interaction, attackers could automate exploitation remotely, increasing the risk of large-scale data exposure. Additionally, compromised accounts could be leveraged for fraudulent activities or lateral movement within corporate networks. The medium severity score suggests moderate but tangible risk, particularly where the app is used to manage personal or financial information of European customers or employees.

Given the absence of official patches, European organizations should immediately audit their use of AHE Mobile versions 1.9.7 and prior to 1.9.9 and plan for prompt upgrades once patches are released. In the interim, organizations should implement strict network-level controls such as IP whitelisting and VPN access to restrict app usage to trusted environments. Employ runtime application self-protection (RASP) or mobile application management (MAM) solutions to monitor and restrict unauthorized key manipulations. Conduct thorough access control reviews and implement multi-factor authentication (MFA) to reduce the impact of privilege abuse. Additionally, monitor application logs for anomalous access patterns indicative of authorization bypass attempts. Engage with Anadolu Hayat Emeklilik Inc. for timely patch information and coordinate vulnerability disclosure and remediation efforts. Finally, educate users about the risks and encourage prompt updates once fixes are available.
