CVE-2025-13484 is a cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability identified in Campcodes Complete Online Beauty Parlor Management System version 1.0. The vulnerability exists in the /admin/customer-list.php file, where the 'Name' parameter is improperly sanitized, allowing an attacker to inject malicious JavaScript code. This flaw enables remote attackers to execute scripts in the context of the administrator's browser session. The vulnerability requires the attacker to have high privileges (PR:H), indicating that the attacker must already have some level of authenticated access to the admin panel. Additionally, user interaction (UI:P) is necessary, meaning the admin must interact with the malicious payload, such as clicking a crafted link or viewing a manipulated page. The CVSS 4.0 vector indicates no confidentiality impact (VC:N), low integrity impact (VI:L), and no availability impact (VA:N). The attack complexity is low (AC:L), and no privileges are required to initiate the attack vector (AV:N), but the overall attack requires high privileges and user interaction. Although no known exploits are currently active in the wild, a public exploit is available, increasing the risk of exploitation. The vulnerability could lead to session hijacking, theft of sensitive admin credentials, or unauthorized administrative actions, which could compromise the management system's data integrity and confidentiality. The lack of a patch link suggests that a fix may not yet be available, emphasizing the need for immediate mitigation steps.

For European organizations using Campcodes Complete Online Beauty Parlor Management System 1.0, this vulnerability poses a risk primarily to the confidentiality and integrity of administrative data. Successful exploitation could allow attackers to hijack admin sessions, steal credentials, or perform unauthorized actions within the management system. This could lead to exposure of customer data, manipulation of appointment or financial records, and potential disruption of business operations. Given the nature of the software, which manages customer and business data for beauty parlors, the impact extends to privacy concerns under GDPR regulations, potentially resulting in regulatory penalties if personal data is compromised. The requirement for high privileges and user interaction limits the attack surface but does not eliminate risk, especially if internal threat actors or phishing campaigns are involved. The absence of known active exploits reduces immediate risk but the availability of public exploit code increases the likelihood of future attacks. Organizations relying on this software should consider the reputational and operational risks associated with a compromised management system.

1. Immediately restrict access to the /admin/customer-list.php page to trusted administrators only, ideally via IP whitelisting or VPN access. 2. Implement strict input validation and output encoding on the 'Name' parameter to prevent injection of malicious scripts; use secure coding practices such as context-aware escaping. 3. Monitor administrative accounts for unusual activity or login patterns that could indicate exploitation attempts. 4. Educate administrators about phishing and social engineering risks that could facilitate user interaction required for exploitation. 5. Deploy web application firewalls (WAF) with custom rules to detect and block XSS payloads targeting the vulnerable parameter. 6. Regularly check for vendor patches or updates addressing this vulnerability and apply them promptly once available. 7. Conduct security audits and penetration testing focused on the admin interface to identify and remediate similar vulnerabilities. 8. Implement multi-factor authentication (MFA) for admin accounts to reduce the risk of credential compromise. 9. Backup critical data regularly and ensure recovery procedures are tested to mitigate potential data integrity issues.
