CVE-2025-11282 is a cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability identified in Frappe LMS versions 2.34.x and 2.35.0. The vulnerability stems from an incomplete fix related to a previous security issue (CVE-2025-55006), indicating that the patch applied did not fully address the underlying problem. The exact function or component affected is unspecified, but the vulnerability allows an attacker to perform manipulations that result in the injection and execution of malicious scripts within the context of the vulnerable LMS application. This type of XSS vulnerability is remotely exploitable without requiring authentication, although user interaction is necessary for the attack to succeed (e.g., a victim clicking a malicious link). The CVSS 4.0 base score is 4.8 (medium severity), reflecting a network attack vector with low complexity, no privileges required, but requiring user interaction and resulting in limited integrity impact. The vendor was informed about four security issues early on and confirmed fixes, but the release notes lack mention of these vulnerabilities, which may delay awareness and patch adoption. No known exploits are currently reported in the wild, but the exploit code has been publicly disclosed, increasing the risk of exploitation. The vulnerability could allow attackers to steal session cookies, perform actions on behalf of users, or conduct phishing attacks within the LMS environment, undermining user trust and data integrity.

For European organizations using Frappe LMS, this vulnerability poses a moderate risk primarily to confidentiality and integrity. Educational institutions, training providers, and enterprises relying on Frappe LMS for learning management could see user accounts compromised if attackers successfully execute XSS attacks. This could lead to unauthorized access to sensitive educational materials, personal data of students and staff, and potentially manipulation of course content or grades. The impact on availability is minimal, as the vulnerability does not directly enable denial of service. However, reputational damage and regulatory compliance issues (e.g., GDPR) could arise if personal data is exposed or misused. The medium severity score suggests that while the vulnerability is not critical, it should be addressed promptly to prevent exploitation, especially given the public availability of exploit code. The lack of clear vendor communication may delay patching, increasing exposure time for European entities.

European organizations should immediately verify their Frappe LMS version and upgrade to a version beyond 2.35.0 once the vendor releases an official patch that fully addresses CVE-2025-11282 and related issues. Until an official patch is available, organizations should implement strict input validation and output encoding on all user-supplied data within the LMS to mitigate XSS risks. Employing Content Security Policy (CSP) headers can reduce the impact of injected scripts by restricting script execution sources. Additionally, organizations should conduct security awareness training to educate users about the risks of clicking suspicious links and reporting unusual LMS behavior. Monitoring LMS logs for unusual activity and implementing Web Application Firewalls (WAF) with XSS detection rules can provide additional layers of defense. Finally, organizations should engage with the vendor for timely updates and demand transparency in release notes to ensure all security fixes are clearly communicated.
