CVE-2025-11963 is a reflected Cross-site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability identified in the StarCities product developed by Saysis Computer Systems Trade Ltd. Co. The flaw is categorized under CWE-79, which involves improper neutralization of input during web page generation. Specifically, the vulnerability allows an attacker to craft malicious URLs or inputs that, when processed by the vulnerable StarCities versions prior to 1.1.61, result in the injection and execution of arbitrary JavaScript code within the victim's browser context. This reflected XSS requires the victim to interact with a malicious link or input, as the payload is not stored persistently but reflected immediately in the response. The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N) indicates that the attack can be launched remotely over the network with low attack complexity, requires the attacker to have some privileges (likely a low-level user), and user interaction is necessary. The scope is changed, meaning the vulnerability affects resources beyond the initially vulnerable component. The impact affects confidentiality and integrity to a limited extent but does not affect availability. No patches or known exploits are currently available, but the vulnerability is publicly disclosed and should be addressed promptly. The vulnerability could be exploited to steal session cookies, perform actions on behalf of users, or redirect users to malicious sites, potentially leading to further compromise or data leakage.

For European organizations using StarCities, this vulnerability poses a moderate risk primarily to the confidentiality and integrity of user data. Attackers exploiting this reflected XSS could hijack user sessions, steal sensitive information, or perform unauthorized actions within the application context. This could lead to data breaches, loss of user trust, and compliance issues under regulations such as GDPR. Since the vulnerability requires user interaction and some level of privilege, the attack surface is somewhat limited but still significant in environments where StarCities is used for critical business functions or handles sensitive data. The lack of a patch increases the window of exposure, and organizations may face targeted phishing campaigns leveraging this vulnerability. Additionally, the scope change in the CVSS vector suggests that the impact could extend beyond the immediate vulnerable component, potentially affecting other integrated systems or services. Overall, the vulnerability could disrupt business operations and damage reputation if exploited.

1. Immediately review and restrict user privileges within StarCities to the minimum necessary to reduce the potential impact of exploitation. 2. Implement robust input validation and output encoding on all user-supplied data to prevent injection of malicious scripts. 3. Employ Content Security Policy (CSP) headers to restrict the execution of unauthorized scripts in browsers accessing StarCities. 4. Monitor web server logs and application behavior for unusual or suspicious requests that may indicate attempted exploitation. 5. Educate users about the risks of clicking on untrusted links, especially those that could lead to reflected XSS attacks. 6. Engage with Saysis Computer Systems Trade Ltd. Co. to obtain updates or patches as soon as they become available and plan for timely deployment. 7. Consider deploying Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) with rules tailored to detect and block reflected XSS payloads targeting StarCities. 8. Conduct regular security assessments and penetration testing focused on web application vulnerabilities to identify and remediate similar issues proactively.
