How the Exploit Works
The vulnerability CVE-2025-49302 stems from an improper control of the generation of code in Easy Stripe, which makes it susceptible to a Code Injection attack. This means an attacker can remotely include malicious code in the application. Since the application does not properly sanitize user input, an attacker could insert code which would then be interpreted and executed by the application. This could lead to complete system compromise or data leakage.
Conceptual Example Code
A potential attack exploiting this vulnerability could be conducted through an HTTP request, where the attacker injects malicious code. A conceptual example of such a request could look like this:
POST /easy_stripe/endpoint HTTP/1.1
Host: target.example.com
Content-Type: application/json
{ "customer_data": "'; DROP TABLE users;--" }In this example, the malicious payload `’; DROP TABLE users;–` uses a common SQL Injection technique to force the server to execute a command that deletes the ‘users’ table from the database.
Recommendations for Mitigation
The primary solution to address this vulnerability is to apply the vendor-supplied patch. If this is not immediately feasible, using a Web Application Firewall (WAF) or an Intrusion Detection System (IDS) could serve as a temporary mitigation method. Furthermore, it is advisable to always sanitize user inputs and to follow secure coding practices to prevent such vulnerabilities from occurring in the first place.
