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

Exploitation evidence

CVE published 15 Nov 2025
Detectable: no evidence on record.
No public nuclei template indexed

No public exploit code indexed in Metasploit or Exploit-DB
Exploited in the wildExploited: no evidence on record.
Not in CISA KEV and no source reports exploitation

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 2026-10-26.

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

To mitigate CVE-2025-13202, organizations should implement strict input validation on the product_name parameter to ensure that only expected characters and formats are accepted. Employing output encoding techniques such as HTML entity encoding before rendering user-supplied data in the web page is critical to prevent script execution. Web application firewalls (WAFs) can provide an additional layer of defense by detecting and blocking malicious payloads targeting this parameter. Monitoring web server logs for unusual requests to /add_to_cart and anomalous parameter values can help identify exploitation attempts early. Organizations should also educate users about the risks of clicking unknown links and consider implementing Content Security Policy (CSP) headers to restrict the execution of unauthorized scripts. Finally, maintain an incident response plan to quickly address any detected exploitation and coordinate with the vendor for updates or patches.

Description

A security flaw has been discovered in code-projects Simple Cafe Ordering System 1.0. This affects an unknown part of the file /add_to_cart. Performing manipulation of the argument product_name results in cross site scripting. It is possible to initiate the attack remotely. The exploit has been released to the public and may be exploited.

Impact

The primary impact of CVE-2025-13202 on European organizations lies in the potential compromise of customer data and erosion of trust in online ordering platforms. Successful exploitation can lead to session hijacking, credential theft, or unauthorized actions performed on behalf of legitimate users. For small to medium-sized cafes and restaurants relying on the Simple Cafe Ordering System, this could result in financial losses, regulatory penalties under GDPR if personal data is compromised, and reputational damage. Additionally, attackers could use the vulnerability to deliver malware or redirect users to phishing sites, amplifying the risk. The medium severity indicates that while the vulnerability is not critical, it poses a tangible threat especially in environments where the affected software is exposed to the internet without additional protective controls. The lack of authentication requirement lowers the barrier for attackers, increasing the risk to organizations that have not implemented compensating controls such as web application firewalls or content security policies. Given the widespread use of web-based ordering systems in Europe’s hospitality sector, the impact could be significant in localized contexts.

Summary

CVE-2025-13202 is a cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability identified in version 1.0 of the Simple Cafe Ordering System developed by code-projects. The vulnerability resides in the /add_to_cart endpoint, specifically in the handling of the product_name parameter. An attacker can remotely manipulate this parameter to inject malicious JavaScript code, which is then executed in the context of the victim's browser when they interact with the affected web page. This type of vulnerability typically arises from insufficient input validation and improper output encoding, allowing untrusted input to be rendered directly in the HTML response. The attack vector is network accessible (AV:N), requires low attack complexity (AC:L), and does not require authentication (PR:L) but does require user interaction (UI:P), such as clicking a malicious link or visiting a compromised page. The vulnerability does not affect confidentiality or availability directly but impacts integrity and user trust by enabling script injection. Although no known exploits are currently active in the wild, the public release of exploit code increases the likelihood of exploitation attempts. The vulnerability has a CVSS 4.0 base score of 5.1, categorized as medium severity, reflecting moderate impact and ease of exploitation. No official patches have been released yet, and the vendor has not provided mitigation guidance. Organizations using this software should prioritize input sanitization and output encoding for the product_name parameter and monitor for suspicious activity.
