CVE-2025-26562: Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) in Shambhu Patnaik RSS Filter
Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerability in Shambhu Patnaik RSS Filter rss-filter allows Stored XSS.This issue affects RSS Filter: from n/a through <= 1.2.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
The Shambhu Patnaik RSS Filter up to version 1.2 is vulnerable to a CSRF attack that enables an attacker to inject stored XSS payloads. This occurs because the application does not properly validate or protect against forged requests, allowing malicious actors to execute scripts in the context of other users. The vulnerability is network exploitable without privileges and requires user interaction, with low attack complexity. It impacts confidentiality, integrity, and availability to a limited extent.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation could allow attackers to execute stored malicious scripts within the context of authenticated users, potentially leading to session hijacking, data manipulation, or denial of service. The vulnerability affects confidentiality, integrity, and availability at a low level as indicated by the CVSS vector. There are no known exploits in the wild at this time.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is available, users should consider implementing CSRF protections such as anti-CSRF tokens and input validation to mitigate the risk of exploitation. Monitoring for suspicious activity related to stored XSS may also be prudent.
