CVE-2025-13484 is a cross-site scripting vulnerability identified in Campcodes Complete Online Beauty Parlor Management System version 1.0, specifically within the /admin/customer-list.php file. The vulnerability arises from insufficient sanitization of the 'Name' parameter, which can be manipulated by an attacker to inject malicious JavaScript code. This XSS flaw is remotely exploitable without requiring authentication, although user interaction is necessary to trigger the malicious script execution. The attack vector involves an attacker crafting a specially crafted URL or input that, when viewed by an administrator or authorized user, executes arbitrary scripts in their browser context. This can lead to session hijacking, credential theft, or unauthorized actions performed with the victim’s privileges. The CVSS 4.8 score reflects a medium severity, considering the network attack vector, low complexity, no privileges required, but user interaction needed. The vulnerability does not affect confidentiality or availability directly but poses a risk to integrity and user trust. No official patches have been published yet, and no active exploitation has been reported, but a public exploit exists, increasing the risk of future attacks. The vulnerability affects version 1.0 of the product, which is primarily used by beauty parlors for customer management and administrative tasks. Given the nature of the software, the impact is mostly on small to medium enterprises in the beauty and wellness sector. The lack of authentication requirement for exploitation increases the attack surface, especially if administrative users access the vulnerable page without adequate protections. The vulnerability highlights the importance of secure input validation and output encoding in web applications, especially in administrative interfaces.

For European organizations, particularly small and medium-sized beauty parlors and wellness centers using Campcodes Complete Online Beauty Parlor Management System 1.0, this vulnerability poses a risk of unauthorized script execution in administrative sessions. Successful exploitation can lead to session hijacking, unauthorized data access, or manipulation of customer records, undermining data integrity and privacy. While the direct impact on availability is minimal, the reputational damage and potential regulatory consequences under GDPR for data breaches could be significant. The medium severity score suggests moderate risk, but the presence of a public exploit increases the likelihood of targeted attacks. Organizations without proper input validation, web application firewalls, or security headers are more vulnerable. Since the attack requires user interaction, phishing or social engineering tactics could be used to lure administrators into triggering the exploit. The impact is amplified in environments where administrators have broad privileges and where customer data confidentiality is critical. Additionally, compromised administrative sessions could be leveraged for further lateral movement or persistent access within the organization’s network.

1. Monitor Campcodes vendor communications for official patches or updates addressing CVE-2025-13484 and apply them promptly. 2. Implement strict input validation and output encoding on all user-supplied data, especially the 'Name' parameter in /admin/customer-list.php, to neutralize malicious scripts. 3. Deploy Content Security Policy (CSP) headers to restrict the execution of unauthorized scripts in browsers. 4. Use web application firewalls (WAFs) configured to detect and block common XSS attack patterns targeting the vulnerable endpoint. 5. Educate administrative users about phishing and social engineering risks to reduce the chance of user interaction exploitation. 6. Limit administrative privileges and enforce the principle of least privilege to minimize potential damage from compromised sessions. 7. Regularly audit and monitor logs for suspicious activity related to the vulnerable page or unusual administrative actions. 8. Consider isolating the management system within a segmented network zone with restricted access to reduce exposure. 9. Employ multi-factor authentication (MFA) for administrative access to add an additional security layer. 10. If patching is delayed, consider temporary mitigations such as disabling or restricting access to the vulnerable page until a fix is available.
