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: High: The attacker requires privileges that provide significant (e.g., administrative) control over the vulnerable system allowing full access to the vulnerable system’s settings and files.
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

Disclosed: evidence found.
CVE published 7 Dec 2025
Detectable: no evidence on record.
No public nuclei template indexed
Weaponised: no evidence on record.
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

No attack traffic recorded by OffSeq Mirage sensors

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.

What to do

AI-suggested

To mitigate this vulnerability, organizations should implement strict input validation and output encoding on the item.name parameter within /dishsub.php to prevent injection of malicious scripts. Employing a web application firewall (WAF) with rules targeting XSS payloads can provide an additional layer of defense. Since no official patches are available, consider isolating the affected application from critical network segments and restricting access to trusted users only. Conduct regular security assessments and penetration tests to identify similar injection points. Educate users about the risks of clicking suspicious links or executing unexpected scripts. If possible, migrate to alternative hotel management solutions with active security maintenance. Monitor public vulnerability databases and vendor communications for any future patches or updates. Implement Content Security Policy (CSP) headers to reduce the impact of XSS attacks by restricting the sources of executable scripts. Finally, maintain comprehensive logging and alerting to detect potential exploitation attempts.

Description

A vulnerability was found in alokjaiswal Hotel-Management-services-using-MYSQL-and-php up to 5f8b60a7aa6c06a5632de569d4e3f6a8cd82f76f. Affected by this vulnerability is an unknown functionality of the file /dishsub.php. The manipulation of the argument item.name results in cross site scripting. It is possible to launch the attack remotely. The exploit has been made public and could be used. This product takes the approach of rolling releases to provide continious delivery. Therefore, version details for affected and updated releases are not available. The vendor was contacted early about this disclosure but did not respond in any way.

Impact

The primary impact of this vulnerability is the potential compromise of user confidentiality and integrity through cross-site scripting attacks. Attackers can inject malicious scripts that execute in the context of the victim's browser, potentially stealing session cookies, credentials, or performing unauthorized actions on behalf of the user. This can lead to account takeover, data leakage, or phishing attacks targeting users of the hotel management system. Although availability is not directly affected, successful exploitation can degrade user trust and system reputation. Organizations relying on this software for managing hotel operations may face operational disruptions, reputational damage, and regulatory compliance issues if customer data is compromised. The risk is heightened by the lack of vendor response and absence of official patches, leaving many deployments potentially exposed. The medium CVSS score reflects moderate ease of exploitation combined with limited impact scope, but the presence of public exploit code increases the likelihood of opportunistic attacks.

Summary

CVE-2025-14201 is a cross-site scripting vulnerability identified in the alokjaiswal Hotel-Management-services-using-MYSQL-and-php application, affecting versions up to commit 5f8b60a7aa6c06a5632de569d4e3f6a8cd82f76f. The vulnerability exists in the /dishsub.php file where the item.name parameter is not properly sanitized, allowing attackers to inject malicious JavaScript code. This can be exploited remotely without authentication but requires user interaction to trigger the malicious payload. The vulnerability could enable attackers to perform actions such as session hijacking, defacement, or redirecting users to malicious sites, compromising user confidentiality and integrity. The product uses a rolling release model, so specific versioning details for patched releases are unavailable, and the vendor has not responded to vulnerability reports or provided fixes. The CVSS 4.0 vector indicates network attack vector (AV:N), low attack complexity (AC:L), no privileges required (PR:H indicates high privileges required, but the vector states PR:H which conflicts with the description; assuming the CVSS vector is correct, some privileges are needed), user interaction required (UI:P), and low impact on confidentiality and integrity. No known exploits are currently active in the wild, but public exploit code exists, increasing the risk of exploitation. The vulnerability is categorized as medium severity due to its moderate impact and exploitation requirements.
