CVE-2025-15149 identifies a cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the rawchen ecms content management system, specifically in the updateProductServlet.java file's updateProductServlet function. This vulnerability is triggered by manipulation of the productName parameter on the Add New Product Page, which lacks proper input sanitization and output encoding. As a result, an attacker can inject malicious JavaScript code that executes in the context of an administrator or user with privileges to update product information. The vulnerability is remotely exploitable without authentication but requires user interaction, such as an admin submitting a crafted product name. The CVSS 4.0 score of 4.8 reflects a medium severity, considering the attack vector is network-based with low attack complexity but requiring user interaction and privileges. The impact primarily affects data integrity by allowing script injection that could alter displayed content or perform unauthorized actions within the admin interface. Confidentiality and availability impacts are minimal or none. The vendor follows a rolling release model but has not responded to the vulnerability report, and no official patches or updates have been published. Public disclosure of the exploit code increases the risk of exploitation, especially in environments where rawchen ecms is used for e-commerce or product management. Organizations relying on this software should prioritize mitigation to prevent potential exploitation.

For European organizations, the impact of CVE-2025-15149 depends on their use of rawchen ecms, particularly in e-commerce or product catalog management. Successful exploitation could allow attackers to execute arbitrary scripts in the context of privileged users, potentially leading to unauthorized actions such as modifying product details, injecting malicious content, or conducting phishing attacks against administrators. While the vulnerability does not directly compromise confidentiality or availability, it undermines data integrity and could facilitate further attacks or social engineering. Organizations with public-facing admin portals are at higher risk, as attackers can remotely attempt exploitation. The lack of vendor response and patches increases exposure time, necessitating proactive defensive measures. Additionally, the presence of publicly disclosed exploit code raises the likelihood of opportunistic attacks targeting vulnerable systems in Europe.

1. Implement strict input validation and sanitization on the productName parameter to reject or neutralize malicious scripts before processing. 2. Apply proper output encoding (e.g., HTML entity encoding) when rendering user-supplied data in the web interface to prevent script execution. 3. Restrict access to the Add New Product Page and related administrative interfaces using strong authentication and network segmentation. 4. Monitor logs and web traffic for suspicious input patterns or unusual activity related to product updates. 5. Employ Content Security Policy (CSP) headers to limit the impact of potential XSS by restricting script sources. 6. If possible, deploy a Web Application Firewall (WAF) with rules to detect and block XSS payloads targeting the vulnerable parameter. 7. Engage with the vendor or community to obtain updates or patches and plan for timely application once available. 8. Educate administrators about the risks of clicking on suspicious links or entering untrusted data. 9. Consider isolating or sandboxing the ecms environment to limit potential lateral movement in case of compromise.
