CVE-2025-47678 is a high-severity reflected Cross-site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability identified in FunnelCockpit, a web-based funnel building and marketing automation platform. The vulnerability stems from improper neutralization of user-supplied input during web page generation, classified under CWE-79. Specifically, the affected versions up to 1.4.2 do not adequately sanitize or encode input parameters that are reflected back in HTTP responses, allowing an attacker to inject malicious scripts. When a victim user interacts with a crafted URL or input, the malicious script executes in their browser context, potentially leading to session hijacking, credential theft, defacement, or redirection to malicious sites. The CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.1 reflects a network-exploitable vulnerability (AV:N) with low attack complexity (AC:L), no privileges required (PR:N), but requiring user interaction (UI:R). The scope is changed (S:C), indicating that exploitation can affect resources beyond the vulnerable component. The impact affects confidentiality, integrity, and availability at a low level, consistent with typical reflected XSS attacks. No known exploits are currently reported in the wild, and no patches or mitigations have been published yet. FunnelCockpit is primarily used by marketers and businesses to create sales funnels and landing pages, making the platform a valuable target for attackers aiming to compromise end users or manipulate marketing campaigns. The vulnerability's presence in a marketing automation tool increases the risk of widespread impact if exploited, as malicious scripts could be propagated through legitimate marketing channels.

For European organizations using FunnelCockpit, this vulnerability poses significant risks. Attackers could exploit the reflected XSS flaw to execute arbitrary scripts in the browsers of employees, customers, or partners interacting with FunnelCockpit-generated pages. This can lead to theft of authentication tokens, unauthorized access to sensitive marketing data, or manipulation of campaign content, undermining brand reputation and customer trust. Additionally, attackers might use the vulnerability to deliver malware or phishing payloads, increasing the risk of broader network compromise. Given the GDPR regulatory environment in Europe, any data breach or unauthorized data access resulting from exploitation could lead to substantial fines and legal consequences. The reflected XSS vulnerability also threatens the integrity of marketing communications, potentially causing financial losses and reputational damage. Organizations relying on FunnelCockpit for customer engagement must be vigilant, as the vulnerability could be leveraged in targeted attacks or widespread phishing campaigns.

To mitigate this vulnerability, European organizations should immediately audit their use of FunnelCockpit and restrict exposure of vulnerable endpoints. Specific recommendations include: 1) Implement strict input validation and output encoding on all user-supplied data reflected in web pages, using context-aware encoding libraries to neutralize script injection vectors. 2) Employ Content Security Policy (CSP) headers to restrict execution of unauthorized scripts and reduce the impact of XSS attacks. 3) Monitor web traffic and logs for suspicious input patterns or anomalous URL parameters indicative of exploitation attempts. 4) Educate users and marketing teams about the risks of clicking on untrusted links and the importance of verifying URLs. 5) Isolate FunnelCockpit deployments in segmented network zones to limit lateral movement if compromise occurs. 6) Engage with FunnelCockpit vendor support to obtain patches or updates as soon as they become available, and apply them promptly. 7) Consider deploying Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) with custom rules to detect and block reflected XSS payloads targeting FunnelCockpit. 8) Review and harden authentication and session management mechanisms to reduce the impact of stolen credentials or session tokens.
