CVE-2025-54027 is a high-severity reflected Cross-site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability affecting Schiocco's Support Board product, up to version 3.8.0. The vulnerability arises due to improper neutralization of user-supplied input during web page generation, classified under CWE-79. Specifically, the application fails to adequately sanitize or encode input before reflecting it back in HTTP responses, allowing an attacker to inject malicious scripts. This reflected XSS can be triggered remotely without authentication (AV:N/PR:N), requiring only user interaction (UI:R), such as clicking a crafted link. The vulnerability impacts confidentiality, integrity, and availability (C:L/I:L/A:L) of affected systems and has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.1, indicating a high severity level. The scope is changed (S:C), meaning the vulnerability can affect resources beyond the vulnerable component, potentially impacting the entire web application or user session. Although no known exploits are currently observed in the wild, the vulnerability presents a significant risk if weaponized. Reflected XSS can be leveraged to steal session cookies, perform actions on behalf of users, or deliver further malware payloads. The lack of available patches at the time of publication increases the urgency for mitigation. The vulnerability affects all deployments of Support Board up to version 3.8.0, a customer support chat and helpdesk solution often embedded in websites to facilitate user communication and ticketing. Attackers could exploit this vulnerability by tricking users into clicking malicious URLs that execute arbitrary JavaScript in the context of the vulnerable site, potentially compromising user accounts and sensitive data.

For European organizations using Schiocco Support Board, this vulnerability poses a significant risk to both their internal operations and their customers' data privacy. Exploitation could lead to unauthorized access to user sessions, data leakage, and manipulation of support interactions, undermining trust and compliance with GDPR and other data protection regulations. The reflected XSS could facilitate phishing attacks targeting employees or customers, leading to credential theft or further network intrusion. Additionally, the integrity of support communications could be compromised, potentially disrupting business continuity and damaging brand reputation. Organizations in sectors with high regulatory scrutiny, such as finance, healthcare, and government, are particularly vulnerable to the reputational and legal consequences of such breaches. The vulnerability's remote exploitability without authentication increases the attack surface, making it easier for threat actors to target European enterprises that rely on Support Board for customer engagement and support services.

Immediate mitigation steps include implementing strict input validation and output encoding on all user-supplied data reflected in web pages, particularly in URL parameters and form inputs. Organizations should monitor for updates or patches from Schiocco and apply them promptly once available. In the interim, deploying Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) with custom rules to detect and block typical XSS attack patterns targeting Support Board endpoints can reduce risk. Security teams should conduct thorough code reviews and penetration testing focused on XSS vectors within the Support Board integration. Additionally, educating users and support staff about the risks of clicking suspicious links can help mitigate social engineering attempts. Employing Content Security Policy (CSP) headers to restrict script execution sources can further reduce the impact of successful XSS exploitation. Logging and monitoring for unusual activity related to Support Board interactions should be enhanced to detect potential exploitation attempts early.
