CVE-2025-39393 is a high-severity reflected Cross-site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability identified in the mojoomla Hospital Management System. This vulnerability arises due to improper neutralization of input during web page generation, classified under CWE-79. Specifically, the system fails to adequately sanitize user-supplied input before reflecting it back in web pages, enabling attackers to inject malicious scripts. The affected versions include all versions up to 47.0 as of November 20, 2023. The vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.1, indicating a high severity level. The attack vector is network-based (AV:N), requires no privileges (PR:N), but does require user interaction (UI:R). The scope is changed (S:C), meaning the vulnerability affects resources beyond the initially vulnerable component. The impact includes low confidentiality, integrity, and availability impacts individually, but combined they pose a significant risk. Reflected XSS can be exploited by attackers to execute arbitrary JavaScript in the context of the victim's browser session, potentially leading to session hijacking, credential theft, or redirection to malicious sites. Although no known exploits are currently reported in the wild, the presence of this vulnerability in a hospital management system is concerning due to the sensitive nature of healthcare data and critical operations involved. The lack of available patches at the time of publication further increases the urgency for mitigation.

For European organizations, particularly healthcare providers using the mojoomla Hospital Management System, this vulnerability presents a significant risk. Exploitation could lead to unauthorized access to patient data, manipulation of medical records, or disruption of hospital operations. Given the strict regulatory environment in Europe, including GDPR, any data breach or unauthorized data exposure could result in substantial legal and financial penalties. Additionally, compromised hospital systems could undermine patient trust and safety. The reflected XSS vulnerability could be leveraged in targeted phishing campaigns against hospital staff or patients, increasing the likelihood of successful exploitation. The potential for session hijacking or credential theft could also facilitate further lateral movement within hospital networks, escalating the severity of an attack.

Immediate mitigation steps include implementing robust input validation and output encoding on all user-supplied data within the mojoomla Hospital Management System. Organizations should apply Content Security Policy (CSP) headers to restrict the execution of unauthorized scripts. Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) can be configured to detect and block common XSS attack patterns as an interim protective measure. Hospital IT teams should conduct thorough security assessments and penetration testing focused on XSS vectors. User awareness training should emphasize the risks of clicking on suspicious links, especially in email communications. Since no official patches are currently available, organizations should engage with mojoomla for timely updates and consider isolating or restricting access to vulnerable components. Monitoring logs for unusual activity and implementing multi-factor authentication (MFA) can help reduce the impact of potential credential theft resulting from exploitation.
