CVE-2025-14991 identifies a cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the Campcodes Complete Online Beauty Parlor Management System version 1.0. The vulnerability resides in the /admin/bwdates-reports-details.php file, specifically in the handling of the 'fromdate' parameter. This parameter is not properly sanitized or encoded, allowing an attacker to inject malicious scripts that execute in the context of an authenticated administrator's browser session. The attack vector is remote, requiring no authentication to send the malicious payload, but user interaction is necessary to trigger the script execution, such as an admin clicking a crafted link or visiting a malicious page. The CVSS 4.0 vector indicates network attack vector (AV:N), low attack complexity (AC:L), no privileges required (PR:H, meaning high privileges required, which conflicts with the description and may indicate a need for admin privileges), user interaction required (UI:P), and low impact on integrity and availability but no impact on confidentiality. The vulnerability could be exploited to steal session cookies, perform unauthorized actions, or deface the admin interface. No patches or fixes have been published yet, and no known exploits are reported in the wild, but the exploit code is publicly available, increasing the risk of exploitation. The vulnerability affects only version 1.0 of the product, which is a niche management system used primarily by beauty parlors for administrative tasks. The lack of segmentation or hardened input validation in the admin reporting module is the root cause.

For European organizations using Campcodes Complete Online Beauty Parlor Management System 1.0, this XSS vulnerability poses a risk primarily to the confidentiality and integrity of administrative sessions. Successful exploitation could allow attackers to hijack admin sessions, leading to unauthorized access to sensitive business data, manipulation of reports, or disruption of management operations. While the impact on availability is low, the reputational damage and potential data leakage could be significant for small and medium enterprises in the beauty sector. Given the niche nature of the software, the overall impact is limited to organizations using this specific product. However, the public availability of exploit code increases the likelihood of opportunistic attacks, especially against less security-aware businesses. European businesses with limited cybersecurity resources may be more vulnerable to such attacks. Additionally, if attackers leverage this vulnerability as a foothold, they could escalate privileges or move laterally within a network, increasing the overall risk.

To mitigate this vulnerability, organizations should immediately restrict access to the /admin/bwdates-reports-details.php endpoint to trusted IP addresses or VPN users to reduce exposure. Implement strict input validation and output encoding on the 'fromdate' parameter to neutralize malicious scripts. Employ Content Security Policy (CSP) headers to limit the execution of unauthorized scripts in the admin interface. Regularly monitor web server logs for suspicious requests targeting the vulnerable parameter. Educate administrative users about the risks of clicking untrusted links or opening suspicious emails. If possible, isolate the management system within a segmented network zone with limited internet exposure. Since no official patch is available, consider applying custom web application firewall (WAF) rules to detect and block XSS payloads targeting this parameter. Plan for timely updates once the vendor releases a security patch. Finally, conduct periodic security assessments of the management system to identify and remediate similar vulnerabilities.
