Overview
The digital world is faced with yet another significant cybersecurity threat, CVE-2025-5894, a critical Missing Authorization vulnerability found within the Smart Parking Management System from Honding Technology. This vulnerability presents a significant risk to enterprises and organizations utilizing this system, as it allows remote attackers with regular privileges to create administrator accounts and subsequently gain unrestricted access to the system.
The severity of this flaw cannot be understated. It provides an attacker with a direct route to compromise system security, potentially leading to unauthorized data access, system disruption, or even a complete system takeover. Given the widespread use of the Smart Parking Management System across various sectors, the implications of this vulnerability are far-reaching and demand immediate attention.

How the Exploit Works
The CVE-2025-5894 exploit takes advantage of a missing authorization check in the Smart Parking Management System. Attackers with regular user privileges can exploit this vulnerability by accessing a specific functionality within the system that allows the creation of administrator accounts. Once the attacker creates an administrator account, they can log into the system with full privileges, enabling them to execute any command, access any data, and potentially compromise the entire system.
Conceptual Example Code
The following is a conceptual representation of how an attacker might exploit this vulnerability:
POST /createAdminAccount HTTP/1.1
Host: target.example.com
Content-Type: application/json
{ "new_account":
{ "username": "attacker",
"password": "pass123",
"role": "admin"
}
}In this example, the attacker sends a POST request to the ‘/createAdminAccount’ endpoint, creating a new administrator account with the username ‘attacker’ and password ‘pass123’. This new account grants the attacker full administrative privileges, providing them unrestricted access to the system.
Mitigation and Prevention
Users of the Smart Parking Management System are strongly advised to apply the vendor’s patch immediately to mitigate this vulnerability. If for any reason the patch cannot be applied promptly, users should consider deploying a Web Application Firewall (WAF) or an Intrusion Detection System (IDS) as a temporary mitigation measure. These systems can help detect and prevent unauthorized access attempts, providing an additional layer of security until the vendor’s patch can be applied.
