CVE-2024-0283 is a Cross Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability classified under CWE-79 found in the Kashipara Food Management System version 1.0 and earlier. The vulnerability resides in the party_details.php file, specifically in the handling of the 'party_name' parameter. An attacker can remotely manipulate this parameter to inject malicious scripts that execute in the context of the victim's browser. This type of vulnerability allows attackers to perform actions such as session hijacking, defacement, or redirecting users to malicious sites. The vulnerability requires low privileges (PR:L) and user interaction (UI:R) to exploit, meaning an authenticated user must trigger the malicious input for the attack to succeed. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 3.5, indicating a low severity primarily due to the limited impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability, and the requirement for user interaction and privileges. No known exploits are currently observed in the wild, and no patches have been published yet. The vulnerability is publicly disclosed, which increases the risk of exploitation if not mitigated promptly. The Kashipara Food Management System is a specialized application used for managing food-related operations, likely deployed in food service or hospitality sectors. The vulnerability's exploitation could lead to minor integrity impacts such as unauthorized script execution but does not directly compromise data confidentiality or system availability.

For European organizations using the Kashipara Food Management System, this vulnerability poses a moderate risk primarily to the integrity of user sessions and the trustworthiness of the application interface. While the direct impact on confidentiality and availability is minimal, successful exploitation could enable attackers to perform phishing attacks, steal session cookies, or manipulate displayed content, potentially leading to further social engineering attacks or unauthorized actions within the system. Organizations in the food service and hospitality sectors could face reputational damage and operational disruptions if customers or employees are targeted via XSS attacks. Given the requirement for user interaction and authenticated access, internal users or trusted partners are the most likely vectors, increasing the risk of insider threats or targeted attacks. The lack of a patch means organizations must rely on interim mitigations to reduce exposure. The public disclosure of the vulnerability increases the urgency for European entities to assess their exposure and implement controls, especially those with high user interaction with the affected system.

1. Implement strict input validation and output encoding on the 'party_name' parameter within party_details.php to neutralize malicious scripts. 2. Employ Content Security Policy (CSP) headers to restrict the execution of unauthorized scripts in the browser context. 3. Restrict access to the Food Management System to trusted users and networks, minimizing exposure to external attackers. 4. Educate users about the risks of clicking on suspicious links or inputs within the system to reduce successful exploitation via social engineering. 5. Monitor application logs for unusual input patterns or repeated attempts to inject scripts. 6. If possible, isolate the application environment and apply web application firewalls (WAF) with rules targeting XSS payloads specific to this vulnerability. 7. Coordinate with Kashipara for timely patch releases and apply updates as soon as they become available. 8. Conduct regular security assessments and penetration tests focusing on input validation weaknesses in the application.
