CVE-2025-10876 identifies a Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability classified under CWE-79 in TalentSoft Software's e-BAP Automation product, specifically affecting versions from 1.8.96 before v.41815. The vulnerability stems from improper neutralization of user-supplied input during the generation of web pages, which allows an attacker to inject malicious scripts into the web interface. These scripts can execute in the context of the victim's browser, potentially leading to unauthorized disclosure of information such as cookies, session tokens, or other sensitive data accessible to the web application. The CVSS 3.1 base score of 5.3 reflects a medium severity level, with an attack vector that is network-based (AV:N), requiring no privileges (PR:N) or user interaction (UI:N), and impacting confidentiality only (C:L), without affecting integrity or availability. The vulnerability is exploitable remotely without authentication, making it a significant risk for exposed deployments. Although no known exploits have been reported in the wild, the nature of XSS vulnerabilities means that exploitation could facilitate further attacks such as session hijacking or phishing. The affected product, e-BAP Automation, is used for HR and business process automation, which often involves sensitive employee and organizational data, increasing the potential impact of such an attack. The lack of an official patch at the time of publication necessitates immediate attention to mitigation strategies to reduce risk.

For European organizations, the impact of CVE-2025-10876 can be significant due to the sensitive nature of HR and automation data handled by TalentSoft's e-BAP Automation. Successful exploitation could lead to unauthorized disclosure of confidential employee information, session hijacking, or the injection of malicious content that undermines user trust and system integrity. While the vulnerability does not directly compromise system integrity or availability, the confidentiality breach can have regulatory implications under GDPR, potentially resulting in legal penalties and reputational damage. Organizations relying on this software for critical HR functions may face operational disruptions if attackers leverage the vulnerability to conduct phishing or social engineering attacks. The medium severity score indicates a moderate risk, but the ease of exploitation without authentication or user interaction elevates the urgency for European entities to address this issue promptly. Additionally, the absence of known exploits currently in the wild provides a window for proactive defense before widespread attacks emerge.

To mitigate CVE-2025-10876 effectively, European organizations should implement a multi-layered approach beyond generic advice. First, apply strict input validation on all user-supplied data to ensure that potentially malicious scripts are sanitized before processing. Employ context-aware output encoding, particularly HTML entity encoding, to neutralize any injected scripts during web page rendering. Monitor and restrict the use of inline scripts and consider implementing Content Security Policy (CSP) headers to limit the execution of unauthorized scripts. Since no official patch is currently available, organizations should engage with TalentSoft for timely updates and advisories. Additionally, conduct thorough security testing, including automated and manual penetration tests focused on XSS vectors, to identify and remediate similar vulnerabilities. Educate users and administrators about the risks of XSS and encourage vigilance against suspicious web behaviors. Finally, implement web application firewalls (WAFs) with rules tailored to detect and block XSS payloads targeting the e-BAP Automation application.
