Overview
CVE-2025-13186 details a Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability found in Bdtask/CodeCanyon’s Isshue Multi Store eCommerce Shopping Cart Solution up to version 4.0. The vulnerability resides within the /dashboard/Ccustomer/manage_customer file, specifically through the manipulation of the Search argument. This allows a remote attacker to inject malicious scripts, potentially impacting users who interact with the affected functionality. The vendor was notified, but did not respond to the disclosure.
Technical Details
The vulnerability lies in the inadequate sanitization of user-supplied input passed via the Search parameter within the /dashboard/Ccustomer/manage_customer file. An attacker can inject arbitrary JavaScript code into this parameter, which will then be executed in the context of the user’s browser when the page is rendered. This allows the attacker to perform actions such as stealing cookies, redirecting users to malicious websites, or defacing the web page. The Proof-of-Concept exploit is publicly available, increasing the risk of exploitation.
CVSS Analysis
- Severity: LOW
- CVSS Score: 2.4
- The low CVSS score indicates a relatively limited impact, likely due to the requirement of user interaction for the exploit to be successful.
Possible Impact
Although the CVSS score is low, the potential impact of a successful XSS attack can still be significant:
- Cookie Stealing: Attackers can steal user session cookies, potentially gaining unauthorized access to user accounts.
- Redirection to Malicious Sites: Users can be redirected to phishing websites or other malicious resources.
- Website Defacement: The appearance of the affected page can be altered to spread misinformation or damage the website’s reputation.
Mitigation or Patch Steps
Unfortunately, given the lack of response from the vendor, official patches are unlikely. The following mitigation steps are recommended:
- Input Sanitization: Implement robust input sanitization on all user-supplied data, especially for the
Searchparameter in the/dashboard/Ccustomer/manage_customerfile. Use appropriate encoding functions to neutralize potentially malicious characters. - Output Encoding: Ensure all data displayed to the user is properly encoded to prevent the execution of malicious scripts.
- Web Application Firewall (WAF): Deploy a Web Application Firewall to detect and block XSS attacks. Configure the WAF with rules specifically targeting the vulnerable endpoint.
- Consider Alternative Solutions: If possible, evaluate alternative e-commerce solutions that are actively maintained and have a strong security track record.
