CVE-2025-11027: Cross Site Scripting in givanz Vvveb
A vulnerability was identified in givanz Vvveb up to 1.0.7.2. Affected by this issue is some unknown functionality of the component SVG File Handler. Such manipulation leads to cross site scripting. The attack may be launched remotely. The exploit is publicly available and might be used. Once again the project maintainer reacted very professional: "I accept the existence of these vulnerabilities. (...) I fixed the code to remove these vulnerabilities and will push the code to github and make a new release."
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2025-11027 is a cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability affecting the givanz Vvveb product, specifically versions 1.0.7.0 through 1.0.7.2. The vulnerability resides in an unspecified functionality within the SVG File Handler component. This flaw allows an attacker to inject malicious scripts that can be executed in the context of a victim's browser session when interacting with the vulnerable component. The attack can be launched remotely without requiring authentication, but it does require user interaction (e.g., the victim must visit a crafted page or interact with malicious SVG content). The vulnerability has a CVSS 4.8 (medium) score, reflecting moderate impact and exploitability. The vendor has acknowledged the issue and committed to releasing a patched version. No known exploits are currently observed in the wild, but public exploit code is available, increasing the risk of exploitation. The vulnerability impacts confidentiality and integrity to a limited extent by enabling script execution, potentially leading to session hijacking, defacement, or other client-side attacks. Availability impact is negligible. The vulnerability does not require elevated privileges but does require user interaction, which somewhat limits the attack surface. The SVG File Handler component's role in processing SVG files suggests that any feature allowing user-uploaded or externally sourced SVG content could be an attack vector. Given the nature of XSS, the vulnerability primarily threatens web applications or services that embed or process SVG content using the affected versions of Vvveb.
Potential Impact
For European organizations, this vulnerability poses a moderate risk, especially for those using the affected versions of givanz Vvveb in web development or content management workflows involving SVG files. Exploitation could lead to theft of user credentials, session tokens, or unauthorized actions performed on behalf of users, potentially compromising sensitive data or internal systems. Organizations in sectors with high web presence such as e-commerce, media, and government services could face reputational damage and regulatory scrutiny if user data is compromised. The requirement for user interaction reduces the likelihood of widespread automated exploitation but targeted phishing or social engineering campaigns could leverage this vulnerability. Since the exploit is publicly available, opportunistic attackers might attempt to exploit unpatched systems. The vulnerability's medium severity suggests it should be prioritized but is not critical. However, failure to patch could lead to chained attacks or serve as an entry point for more severe compromises.
Mitigation Recommendations
European organizations should immediately identify any deployments of givanz Vvveb versions 1.0.7.0 through 1.0.7.2, particularly those exposing SVG file handling functionality to end users or external inputs. The primary mitigation is to upgrade to the vendor's patched version once released. Until then, organizations should implement strict input validation and sanitization on SVG files, disallowing or filtering potentially malicious scripts or embedded content. Employ Content Security Policy (CSP) headers to restrict script execution contexts and reduce the impact of XSS attacks. Additionally, disable or restrict SVG file uploads or processing where feasible. User awareness training to recognize phishing attempts that might exploit this vulnerability is recommended. Monitoring web application logs for unusual activity related to SVG handling can help detect exploitation attempts. Finally, conduct regular security assessments and penetration tests focusing on SVG and file upload features to identify residual risks.
