CVE-2025-14538 identifies a cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the yangshare warehouseManager 仓库管理系统 version 1.1.0, specifically within the addCustomer function of CustomerManageHandler.java. The vulnerability arises from insufficient sanitization or encoding of the 'Name' parameter, which an attacker can manipulate to inject malicious JavaScript code. This vulnerability is remotely exploitable without requiring authentication, though it requires user interaction to trigger the malicious payload, such as a victim clicking a crafted URL or submitting malicious input. The CVSS 4.0 score is 5.1 (medium severity), reflecting the network attack vector, low attack complexity, no privileges required, and user interaction needed. The impact primarily affects confidentiality and integrity, as injected scripts can steal session tokens, perform actions on behalf of users, or deface web content. Availability is not directly impacted. No patches or fixes have been publicly linked yet, and no known exploits are active in the wild, but public disclosure increases the risk of exploitation. The vulnerability affects only version 1.1.0 of the product, which is used in warehouse management contexts, potentially exposing sensitive customer and inventory data if exploited. Given the nature of XSS, attackers could leverage this flaw to conduct phishing, credential theft, or lateral movement within affected networks.

For European organizations, this vulnerability poses a moderate risk, particularly for those in logistics, warehousing, and supply chain management sectors using yangshare warehouseManager 1.1.0. Successful exploitation could lead to theft of user credentials, session hijacking, or unauthorized actions within the application, compromising customer data and operational integrity. This could result in financial losses, reputational damage, and regulatory non-compliance under GDPR if personal data is exposed. The attack vector being remote and requiring no authentication increases the attack surface, especially if the application is internet-facing. However, the need for user interaction somewhat limits automated exploitation. Still, phishing campaigns or social engineering could facilitate attacks. The lack of a patch means organizations must rely on mitigations until an official fix is released. Disruption to warehouse operations could also indirectly affect supply chains, impacting broader business continuity.

1. Implement strict input validation on the 'Name' parameter in the addCustomer function, ensuring only expected characters are accepted (e.g., alphanumeric and limited special characters). 2. Apply proper output encoding/escaping for all user-supplied data rendered in the web interface to prevent script execution. 3. Employ Content Security Policy (CSP) headers to restrict the execution of unauthorized scripts in the browser. 4. Restrict access to the warehouseManager application to trusted internal networks or VPNs to reduce exposure. 5. Educate users about phishing risks and suspicious links to minimize successful user interaction exploitation. 6. Monitor web application logs for unusual input patterns or repeated attempts to inject scripts. 7. Engage with yangshare for timely patch updates and apply them promptly once available. 8. Consider deploying Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) with rules to detect and block XSS payloads targeting the vulnerable parameter. 9. Conduct regular security assessments and penetration testing focused on input validation and XSS vulnerabilities.
