Threat metrics

Exploit Maturity: POC

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

Attack Vector: Network: The vulnerable system is bound to the network stack and the set of possible attackers extends beyond the other options listed below, 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: The attacker must take no measurable action to exploit the vulnerability. The attack requires no target-specific circumvention to exploit the vulnerability. An attacker can expect repeatable success against the vulnerable system.
Attack Requirements: None: The successful attack does not depend on the deployment and execution conditions of the vulnerable system. The attacker can expect to be able to reach the vulnerability and execute the exploit under all or most instances of the vulnerability.
Privileges Required: Low: The attacker requires privileges that provide basic capabilities that are typically limited to settings and resources owned by a single low-privileged user. Alternatively, an attacker with Low privileges has the ability to access only non-sensitive resources.
User Interaction: Passive: Successful exploitation of this vulnerability requires limited interaction by the targeted user with the vulnerable system and the attacker’s payload. These interactions would be considered involuntary and do not require that the user actively subvert protections built into the vulnerable system.
Vulnerable system confidentiality: None: There is no loss of confidentiality within the Vulnerable System.
Vulnerable system 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 to the Vulnerable System.
Vulnerable system availability: None: There is no impact to availability within the Vulnerable System.
Subsequent system confidentiality: None: There is no loss of confidentiality within the Subsequent System or all confidentiality impact is constrained to the Vulnerable System.
Subsequent system integrity: None: There is no loss of integrity within the Subsequent System or all integrity impact is constrained to the Vulnerable System.
Subsequent system availability: None: There is no impact to availability within the Subsequent System or all availability impact is constrained to the Vulnerable System.
Exploit Maturity: POC: Based on threat intelligence sources each of the following must apply: · Proof-of-concept is publicly available · No knowledge of reported attempts to exploit this vulnerability · No knowledge of publicly available solutions used to simplify attempts to exploit the vulnerability

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 2026-10-25.

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 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

Given the absence of an official patch, European organizations should implement immediate compensating controls. These include input validation and output encoding at the web application firewall (WAF) level to block malicious payloads targeting first_name and last_name parameters. Organizations should restrict access to the /edit_profile endpoint to authenticated and authorized users only, and implement Content Security Policy (CSP) headers to limit script execution sources. Regular monitoring of web logs for suspicious requests and user behavior analytics can help detect exploitation attempts. Educate users about phishing risks and suspicious links. If feasible, consider isolating or limiting the use of SalesERP until a vendor patch is released. Organizations should also engage with Bdtask to demand a timely fix and track threat intelligence feeds for updates. Finally, applying general hardening measures such as secure coding practices for any customizations and ensuring all other components are up to date will reduce overall risk.

Description

A flaw has been found in Bdtask/CodeCanyon SalesERP up to 20250728. This vulnerability affects unknown code of the file /edit_profile of the component User Profile Handler. This manipulation of the argument first_name/last_name causes basic cross site scripting. The attack is possible to be carried out remotely. The exploit has been published and may be used. The vendor was contacted early about this disclosure but did not respond in any way.

Impact

For European organizations, this vulnerability poses a moderate risk primarily to confidentiality and integrity of user sessions and data within SalesERP. Since SalesERP is an ERP solution often used by small and medium enterprises (SMEs) for sales and customer management, exploitation could lead to unauthorized access to sensitive business information, manipulation of user data, or phishing attacks targeting employees. The lack of vendor response and patch availability increases exposure time. Organizations in sectors with high ERP reliance, such as manufacturing, retail, and distribution, may experience operational disruptions if attackers leverage this vulnerability to compromise user accounts or inject malicious scripts that spread laterally. While availability impact is minimal, reputational damage and compliance risks (e.g., GDPR violations due to data leakage) are significant concerns. The remote and unauthenticated nature of the exploit increases the attack surface, especially if user profiles are publicly accessible or if attackers can lure users into clicking malicious links.

Summary

CVE-2025-13178 is a basic cross-site scripting vulnerability identified in the Bdtask SalesERP product, specifically affecting versions up to 20250728. The vulnerability exists in the User Profile Handler component within the /edit_profile endpoint, where the first_name and last_name parameters are not properly sanitized or encoded before being reflected in the web application’s response. This allows an attacker to inject arbitrary JavaScript code that executes in the context of the victim’s browser. The attack vector is remote and does not require prior authentication, although user interaction (such as visiting a crafted URL or viewing a malicious profile) is necessary to trigger the exploit. The CVSS 4.0 base score is 5.1, reflecting medium severity due to the ease of attack and limited impact on confidentiality and integrity, but with no impact on availability. The vendor was notified early but has not issued any patch or mitigation guidance, and the exploit code has been made publicly available, increasing the risk of opportunistic attacks. This vulnerability can be leveraged to steal session cookies, perform actions on behalf of the user, or deliver further malware payloads, especially in environments where SalesERP is used for critical business operations.
