Technical Analysis

CVE-2025-47675 is a medium-severity vulnerability classified under CWE-79, indicating an improper neutralization of input during web page generation, commonly known as Cross-site Scripting (XSS). Specifically, this vulnerability affects the Woobox platform, versions up to 1.6. The issue is a DOM-based XSS, meaning that the malicious script injection occurs on the client side through manipulation of the Document Object Model, rather than server-side injection. This type of XSS allows an attacker to execute arbitrary JavaScript in the context of the victim's browser session when they interact with a crafted URL or manipulated input that the Woobox application fails to properly sanitize or encode. The CVSS 3.1 base score of 6.5 reflects a medium severity, with an attack vector of network (AV:N), low attack complexity (AC:L), requiring privileges (PR:L), and user interaction (UI:R). The scope is changed (S:C), indicating that the vulnerability affects resources beyond the initially vulnerable component. The impact metrics show low confidentiality (C:L), integrity (I:L), and availability (A:L) impacts, consistent with typical XSS attacks where data theft, session hijacking, or defacement can occur but do not directly compromise system-level controls. No known exploits are currently reported in the wild, and no patches have been linked yet. Woobox is a marketing and engagement platform used for creating interactive campaigns, contests, and promotions, often integrated into websites and social media channels. The vulnerability could be exploited by attackers to steal session tokens, perform actions on behalf of users, or redirect users to malicious sites, potentially damaging brand reputation and user trust.

Potential Impact

For European organizations using Woobox, this vulnerability poses a risk primarily to the confidentiality and integrity of user interactions on marketing and engagement platforms. Attackers exploiting this DOM-based XSS could hijack user sessions, steal personal data, or manipulate campaign content, leading to reputational damage and potential regulatory consequences under GDPR if personal data is compromised. The medium severity and requirement for user interaction mean that phishing or social engineering could be used to lure users into triggering the exploit. This is particularly concerning for organizations heavily reliant on Woobox for customer engagement, as the trustworthiness of their digital campaigns could be undermined. Additionally, the scope change indicates that the impact could extend beyond the immediate Woobox component, potentially affecting integrated systems or user accounts. While no active exploits are known, the public disclosure increases the risk of future attacks, especially if patches are delayed. European companies in sectors such as retail, media, and entertainment that use Woobox for promotions may face targeted attacks aiming to disrupt marketing efforts or harvest user credentials.

Mitigation Recommendations

Organizations should immediately audit their use of Woobox, especially versions up to 1.6, and monitor for updates or patches from the vendor. In the absence of official patches, applying web application firewall (WAF) rules to detect and block suspicious input patterns related to DOM-based XSS can reduce risk. Security teams should conduct thorough input validation and output encoding on all user-supplied data within their integration points with Woobox. Educating users about phishing risks and suspicious links is critical since user interaction is required for exploitation. Additionally, organizations should implement Content Security Policy (CSP) headers to restrict the execution of unauthorized scripts and reduce the impact of potential XSS attacks. Regular security testing, including penetration tests focusing on client-side vulnerabilities, should be conducted to identify and remediate similar issues. Finally, monitoring logs for unusual activity or repeated failed attempts to exploit XSS can provide early warning signs of attack attempts.
