CVE-2025-48356 is a stored Cross-site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability classified under CWE-79, affecting the Isra Kanpress product up to version 1.1. The vulnerability arises from improper neutralization of input during web page generation, allowing malicious scripts to be stored and subsequently executed in the context of users' browsers when they access affected pages. Stored XSS is particularly dangerous because the malicious payload is saved on the server and delivered to multiple users, increasing the attack surface. The CVSS 3.1 base score of 6.5 reflects a medium severity level, 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), meaning the vulnerability can affect resources beyond the initially vulnerable component. The impact affects confidentiality, integrity, and availability to a limited extent (C:L, I:L, A:L). Exploitation requires an authenticated user to interact with the malicious content, which limits the ease of exploitation but does not eliminate risk. No known exploits are currently reported in the wild, and no patches have been published yet. The vulnerability could allow attackers to execute arbitrary JavaScript in the context of other users, potentially leading to session hijacking, defacement, or further exploitation of the application or users' systems.

For European organizations using Isra Kanpress, this vulnerability poses a moderate risk. Stored XSS can lead to unauthorized access to user sessions, theft of sensitive data, and manipulation of web content, which can damage organizational reputation and lead to regulatory non-compliance under GDPR if personal data is compromised. The requirement for user interaction and authentication reduces the likelihood of mass exploitation but targeted attacks against privileged users or administrators could have significant consequences. The scope change indicates that the vulnerability could impact multiple components or users beyond the initial vector, increasing potential damage. Organizations in sectors such as media, publishing, or any that rely on Kanpress for content management should be particularly vigilant. Additionally, the lack of an available patch necessitates immediate mitigation efforts to reduce exposure.

Given the absence of an official patch, European organizations should implement several practical mitigations: 1) Restrict user input fields to disallow or sanitize HTML and script tags rigorously, employing server-side input validation and output encoding to prevent malicious scripts from being stored or rendered. 2) Implement Content Security Policy (CSP) headers to restrict the execution of unauthorized scripts in browsers, limiting the impact of any injected scripts. 3) Enforce strict authentication and authorization controls to minimize the number of users who can submit content that is rendered to others. 4) Monitor application logs and user activity for unusual behavior indicative of exploitation attempts. 5) Educate users about the risks of interacting with suspicious content and encourage reporting of anomalies. 6) Prepare for rapid deployment of patches once available by maintaining close contact with the vendor Isra and subscribing to vulnerability advisories. 7) Consider deploying web application firewalls (WAFs) with rules tailored to detect and block XSS payloads targeting Kanpress.
