Overview<\/strong><\/p>\n

This blog post investigates a significant vulnerability, CVE-2025-25777, identified in Codeastro’s Bus Ticket Booking System v1.0. This vulnerability is a clear instance of Insecure Direct Object Reference (IDOR), a common yet often overlooked web security issue. The vulnerability potentially allows an unauthorized attacker to gain direct access to sensitive user profile data<\/a>, which could lead to serious privacy breaches, including identity theft and fraud. As such, it’s a critical concern for any organization that uses the affected software<\/a> and stores sensitive data.<\/p>\n

Vulnerability Summary<\/strong><\/p>\n

CVE ID: CVE-2025-25777
\nSeverity: High (8.0)
\nAttack Vector: Network
\nPrivileges Required: None
\nUser Interaction: None
\nImpact: Unauthorized access to sensitive user profiles, leading to potential system<\/a> compromise or data leakage<\/p>\n

Affected Products<\/strong><\/p>\n

Product | Affected Versions<\/p>\n

Codeastro Bus Ticket Booking System<\/a> | v1.0<\/p>\n

How the Exploit Works<\/strong><\/p>\n

The vulnerability lies in the user ID parameter in the URL of the Codeastro Bus<\/a> Ticket Booking System. By manipulating this user ID, an attacker can bypass the system’s authentication<\/a> and authorization checks and gain access to other users’ profiles. This manipulation can happen when an attacker intercepts the URL during a user’s session<\/a> and modifies the user ID. The system doesn’t verify the legitimacy of the request, leading to unauthorized<\/a> access.<\/p>\n

Conceptual Example Code<\/strong><\/p>\n

Here’s a hypothetical example of how an attacker might exploit<\/a> this vulnerability. This is not actual attack code, but a conceptual illustration:<\/p>\n

GET \/user\/profile?id=123 HTTP\/1.1\nHost: vulnerablebusbooking.com<\/code><\/pre>\n
In the above HTTP request, an attacker could change the `id` parameter to any other user<\/a> ID to access their profile:<\/p>\n
GET \/user\/profile?id=456 HTTP\/1.1\nHost: vulnerablebusbooking.com<\/code><\/pre>\n
In the manipulated request, the attacker attempts to access the profile of user<\/a> with the ID ‘456’ instead of ‘123. The system, due to the IDOR vulnerability, allows this unauthorized<\/a> access, compromising the user’s data.<\/p>\n
Mitigation Guidance<\/strong><\/p>\n
To mitigate this vulnerability, the most effective solution is to apply the patch provided by the vendor. If the patch isn’t immediately available or applicable, using a Web Application Firewall (WAF) or Intrusion Detection System (IDS) can serve as temporary mitigation. These solutions can detect and block attempts to exploit this vulnerability<\/a>. However, they should be considered as interim measures until the vendor patch can be applied, as they may not provide complete protection against all possible exploits.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
