AI-suggested

1. Upgrade to a patched version of Altium AES once available; monitor vendor advisories closely. 2. Implement strict access controls limiting who can authenticate and edit schematics, especially the Description field. 3. Enforce input validation and sanitization on the Description field to prevent injection of malicious scripts. 4. Use Content Security Policy (CSP) headers to restrict execution of unauthorized scripts in the BOM Viewer interface. 5. Monitor logs and user activity for unusual behavior indicative of exploitation attempts, such as unexpected script injections or anomalous access patterns. 6. Educate users to be cautious when viewing schematics from untrusted sources or unknown authors. 7. Consider network segmentation to isolate Altium AES servers from broader corporate networks to limit lateral movement. 8. Employ multi-factor authentication to reduce risk from compromised credentials. 9. Regularly back up design data to enable recovery in case of availability disruption. 10. If patching is delayed, consider disabling or restricting access to the BOM Viewer component temporarily.

Description

CVE-2025-27379 is a stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in Altium AES version 7.0.3, specifically in the BOM Viewer component. An authenticated attacker can inject arbitrary JavaScript code into the Description field of a schematic, which executes when the BOM Viewer renders the content. This vulnerability requires user interaction and authentication but can lead to high availability impact and limited confidentiality and integrity impact. The CVSS score is 6.8, indicating a medium severity. No known exploits are currently reported in the wild. European organizations using Altium AES 7.0.
