Overview
CVE-2025-13412 is a reported Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability affecting Campcodes Retro Basketball Shoes Online Store version 1.0. This vulnerability allows a remote attacker to inject malicious scripts into the application, potentially compromising user data or application functionality. While classified as low severity, it’s crucial to understand the potential impact and implement necessary mitigation measures.
Technical Details
The vulnerability resides within the /admin/admin_running.php file. By manipulating the product_name argument, an attacker can inject malicious JavaScript code. When a user views the page containing the injected script, the script will execute in their browser. This can lead to session hijacking, cookie theft, or defacement of the web page. The vulnerability is exploitable remotely, meaning the attacker does not need local access to the server.
CVSS Analysis
- Severity: LOW
- CVSS Score: 2.4
The CVSS score of 2.4 indicates a low severity. The likely reason for the low score is the need for administrative privilege and potentially user interaction. The CVSS breakdown suggests a low impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability due to the restricted scope and the potential requirement of administrative privileges or user interaction to trigger the vulnerability.
Possible Impact
Although the severity is low, successful exploitation of this XSS vulnerability can lead to:
- Session Hijacking: An attacker could potentially steal a valid user’s session and impersonate them.
- Cookie Theft: Sensitive information stored in cookies could be accessed by the attacker.
- Website Defacement: The attacker could modify the appearance of the website.
- Phishing: Redirect users to a malicious website designed to steal credentials.
Mitigation or Patch Steps
To address this vulnerability, the following steps are recommended:
- Input Validation: Implement robust input validation and sanitization on the
product_namefield in the/admin/admin_running.phpfile. Specifically, HTML encoding user-supplied data before displaying it on the page will prevent the browser from interpreting it as code. - Output Encoding: Use appropriate output encoding mechanisms to ensure that data is rendered safely in the browser.
- Upgrade: Check Campcodes for a patch or a newer version of the Retro Basketball Shoes Online Store that addresses this vulnerability.
- Web Application Firewall (WAF): Deploy a Web Application Firewall (WAF) to detect and block malicious requests targeting this vulnerability. Configure the WAF with rulesets that prevent XSS attacks.
