CVE-2025-48152 is a high-severity reflected Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability affecting the dimafreund Rentsyst product, up to version 2.0.100. The vulnerability is categorized under CWE-79, which involves improper neutralization of input during web page generation. Specifically, this flaw allows an attacker to inject malicious scripts into web pages viewed by other users. Reflected XSS occurs when untrusted input is immediately included in a web response without proper sanitization or encoding, enabling attackers to execute arbitrary JavaScript in the context of the victim's browser session. The CVSS v3.1 score of 7.1 reflects a high severity, with an attack vector of network (remote), low attack complexity, no privileges required, but requiring user interaction (e.g., clicking a crafted link). The scope is changed, indicating that the vulnerability affects resources beyond the initially vulnerable component. The impact includes low confidentiality, integrity, and availability impacts individually, but combined they can lead to significant consequences such as session hijacking, credential theft, or unauthorized actions performed on behalf of the user. No known exploits are currently reported in the wild, and no patches have been linked yet, indicating that mitigation might rely on vendor updates or workarounds. The vulnerability affects all versions up to 2.0.100, with no specific lower bound version identified. Given the nature of Rentsyst as a rental management system, the vulnerability could be exploited by attackers to target users of the system, potentially leading to unauthorized access or manipulation of rental data or user accounts.

For European organizations using dimafreund Rentsyst, this vulnerability poses a significant risk, especially for property management companies, real estate agencies, and rental platforms that rely on this software. Exploitation could lead to theft of user credentials, unauthorized access to sensitive tenant or landlord information, and manipulation of rental agreements or payments. The reflected XSS could be used in phishing campaigns targeting employees or customers, undermining trust and potentially causing financial losses. Additionally, regulatory implications under GDPR could arise if personal data is compromised due to this vulnerability, leading to legal and reputational damage. The impact is heightened in sectors where rental management is critical, such as urban centers with high rental activity. The lack of available patches increases the urgency for organizations to implement interim mitigations to protect their users and data.

1. Immediate implementation of input validation and output encoding on all user-supplied data within the Rentsyst application, particularly in URL parameters and form inputs, to neutralize malicious scripts. 2. Employ Content Security Policy (CSP) headers to restrict the execution of unauthorized scripts in browsers accessing the application. 3. Use web application firewalls (WAFs) configured with rules to detect and block common XSS attack patterns targeting Rentsyst endpoints. 4. Educate users and administrators about the risks of clicking on suspicious links and encourage cautious behavior. 5. Monitor application logs for unusual request patterns that may indicate attempted exploitation. 6. Coordinate with dimafreund for timely patch releases and apply updates as soon as they become available. 7. If possible, isolate the Rentsyst application environment to limit exposure and reduce the blast radius of potential attacks. 8. Conduct regular security assessments and penetration testing focused on XSS vulnerabilities to identify and remediate similar issues proactively.
