Bold values are the worst case: easiest to exploit or largest impact.

Attack Vector: Network: The vulnerable component is bound to the network stack and the set of possible attackers extends beyond the other options listed, up to and including the entire Internet. Such a vulnerability is often termed 'remotely exploitable' and can be thought of as an attack being exploitable at the protocol level one or more network hops away (e.g., across one or more routers).
Attack Complexity: Low: Specialized access conditions or extenuating circumstances do not exist. An attacker can expect repeatable success against the vulnerable component.
Privileges Required: Low: The attacker is authorized with (i.e., requires) privileges that provide basic user capabilities that could normally affect only settings and files owned by a user. Alternatively, an attacker with Low privileges may have the ability to cause an impact only to non-sensitive resources.
User Interaction: Required: Successful exploitation of this vulnerability requires a user to take some action before the vulnerability can be exploited.
Scope: Unchanged: An exploited vulnerability can only affect resources managed by the same security authority. In this case, the vulnerable component and the impacted component are either the same, or both are managed by the same security authority.
Confidentiality: None: There is no loss of confidentiality within the impacted component.
Integrity: Low: Modification of data is possible, but the attacker does not have control over the consequence of a modification, or the amount of modification is limited. The data modification does not have a direct, serious impact on the impacted component.
Availability: None: There is no impact to availability within the impacted component.

A missing step is not evidence of safety. Sources: cve.org (opens in a new tab), the Metasploit, Exploit-DB and nuclei-templates index as of 26 Oct 2026.

Disclosed: The CVE record is public on cve.org. Its publication is t = 0.
Detectable: A public nuclei template can find exposed instances, for defenders and attackers alike.
Weaponised: Public exploit code exists in Metasploit or Exploit-DB, or CISA SSVC or the CVSS exploit maturity reports a public proof of concept.
Exploited in the wild: CISA KEV lists it, CISA SSVC rates exploitation active, or a source reports attacks.
Observed by OffSeq Mirage: OffSeq Mirage honeypot sensors recorded attack traffic for this CVE, or found exposed hosts without attack traffic.

Moments are spaced evenly, not to scale; a dashed line marks a gap of six months or more. Deltas count from t = 0. Sources that give only a date (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, or a time of exactly 00:00Z) read “same day” rather than hours. Metasploit modules carry the flaw’s disclosure date, not their release date, and nuclei templates carry no date, so both appear above but not on the timeline.

AI-suggested

To mitigate this vulnerability, European organizations should first verify if they are running Cogites eReserv version 7.7.58 and restrict access to the admin interface to trusted networks and users only. Implement strict input validation and output encoding on the 'id' parameter in front/admin/config.php to neutralize any injected scripts. Employ Content Security Policy (CSP) headers to limit the execution of unauthorized scripts in the browser. Educate administrative users about the risks of clicking on untrusted links or inputs that could trigger XSS attacks. Monitor web application logs for suspicious input patterns targeting the 'id' parameter. If possible, isolate the eReserv administrative interface behind VPN or multi-factor authentication to reduce exposure. Regularly review and update web application firewalls (WAF) rules to detect and block XSS payloads targeting this parameter. Finally, conduct security testing and code reviews focusing on input sanitization in all user-facing parameters.

Description

A vulnerability was found in Cogites eReserv 7.7.58 and classified as problematic. This issue affects some unknown processing of the file front/admin/config.php. The manipulation of the argument id with the input %22%3E%3Cscript%3Ealert(%27XSS%27)%3C/script%3E leads to cross site scripting. The attack may be initiated remotely. The identifier VDB-252293 was assigned to this vulnerability.

Impact

For European organizations using Cogites eReserv 7.7.58, this vulnerability could lead to targeted attacks against administrative users who manage reservation configurations. Successful exploitation could allow attackers to execute arbitrary scripts in the context of the admin interface, potentially enabling session hijacking, unauthorized actions, or phishing attacks within the application environment. While the direct impact on confidentiality and availability is low, the integrity of administrative operations could be compromised, leading to misconfigurations or unauthorized changes. This could disrupt business processes relying on the eReserv system, especially in sectors like hospitality or event management where reservation systems are critical. Additionally, exploitation could be used as a foothold for further attacks within the network if combined with other vulnerabilities or social engineering. The requirement for user interaction and some privilege level reduces the risk of widespread automated exploitation but does not eliminate targeted attacks against high-value users.

Summary

CVE-2024-1026 is a Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability identified in Cogites eReserv version 7.7.58, specifically affecting the file front/admin/config.php. The vulnerability arises from improper sanitization or validation of the 'id' parameter, which can be manipulated by an attacker to inject malicious JavaScript code. The example payload "%22%3E%3Cscript%3Ealert('XSS')%3C/script%3E" demonstrates how an attacker can inject a script tag that executes arbitrary JavaScript when a victim views the affected page. This type of vulnerability is classified under CWE-79, which pertains to improper neutralization of input during web page generation. The attack vector is remote, requiring only that the attacker craft a malicious URL or input that includes the payload. However, the CVSS 3.1 score is 3.5, indicating a low severity, largely because the attack requires some level of privileges (PR:L - low privileges) and user interaction (UI:R - user must interact, e.g., click a link). The impact is limited to integrity, with no direct confidentiality or availability impact. No known exploits are currently reported in the wild, and no patches have been linked yet. The vulnerability could allow an attacker to execute scripts in the context of the affected web application, potentially leading to session hijacking, defacement, or redirection to malicious sites if exploited successfully. Given that the vulnerability is in an administrative configuration file, it may be exposed only to authenticated users with some privileges, reducing the attack surface but still posing a risk if an attacker can lure an authorized user to a crafted URL or input.
