Threat metrics

Exploit Maturity: POC

Bold values are the worst case: easiest to exploit or largest impact.

Attack Vector: Network: The vulnerable system is bound to the network stack and the set of possible attackers extends beyond the other options listed below, up to and including the entire Internet. Such a vulnerability is often termed “remotely exploitable” and can be thought of as an attack being exploitable at the protocol level one or more network hops away (e.g., across one or more routers).
Attack Complexity: Low: The attacker must take no measurable action to exploit the vulnerability. The attack requires no target-specific circumvention to exploit the vulnerability. An attacker can expect repeatable success against the vulnerable system.
Attack Requirements: None: The successful attack does not depend on the deployment and execution conditions of the vulnerable system. The attacker can expect to be able to reach the vulnerability and execute the exploit under all or most instances of the vulnerability.
Privileges Required: Low: The attacker requires privileges that provide basic capabilities that are typically limited to settings and resources owned by a single low-privileged user. Alternatively, an attacker with Low privileges has the ability to access only non-sensitive resources.
User Interaction: Passive: Successful exploitation of this vulnerability requires limited interaction by the targeted user with the vulnerable system and the attacker’s payload. These interactions would be considered involuntary and do not require that the user actively subvert protections built into the vulnerable system.
Vulnerable system confidentiality: None: There is no loss of confidentiality within the Vulnerable System.
Vulnerable system integrity: Low: Modification of data is possible, but the attacker does not have control over the consequence of a modification, or the amount of modification is limited. The data modification does not have a direct, serious impact to the Vulnerable System.
Vulnerable system availability: None: There is no impact to availability within the Vulnerable System.
Subsequent system confidentiality: None: There is no loss of confidentiality within the Subsequent System or all confidentiality impact is constrained to the Vulnerable System.
Subsequent system integrity: None: There is no loss of integrity within the Subsequent System or all integrity impact is constrained to the Vulnerable System.
Subsequent system availability: None: There is no impact to availability within the Subsequent System or all availability impact is constrained to the Vulnerable System.
Exploit Maturity: POC: Based on threat intelligence sources each of the following must apply: · Proof-of-concept is publicly available · No knowledge of reported attempts to exploit this vulnerability · No knowledge of publicly available solutions used to simplify attempts to exploit the vulnerability

A missing step is not evidence of safety. Sources: cve.org (opens in a new tab), the Metasploit, Exploit-DB and nuclei-templates index as of 2026-10-25.

Disclosed: The CVE record is public on cve.org. Its publication is t = 0.
Detectable: A public nuclei template can find exposed instances, for defenders and attackers alike.
Weaponised: Public exploit code exists in Metasploit or Exploit-DB, or CISA SSVC reports a public proof of concept.
Exploited in the wild: CISA KEV lists it, CISA SSVC rates exploitation active, or a source reports attacks.
Observed by OffSeq Mirage: OffSeq Mirage honeypot sensors recorded attack traffic for this CVE, or found exposed hosts without attack traffic.

Moments are spaced evenly, not to scale; a dashed line marks a gap of six months or more. Deltas count from t = 0. Sources that give only a date (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, or a time of exactly 00:00Z) read “same day” rather than hours. Metasploit modules carry the flaw’s disclosure date, not their release date, and nuclei templates carry no date, so both appear above but not on the timeline.

AI-suggested

1. Immediate mitigation should include implementing input validation and output encoding on the 'Type' parameter within /data/edit_type.php to neutralize malicious scripts. 2. Employ Content Security Policy (CSP) headers to restrict the execution of unauthorized scripts in the browser context. 3. Conduct a thorough code review of the Laundry System to identify and remediate other potential XSS or injection points. 4. If possible, isolate the Laundry System behind a web application firewall (WAF) configured to detect and block XSS payloads. 5. Educate users and administrators about the risks of clicking unknown links and encourage the use of updated browsers with built-in XSS protections. 6. Monitor logs for suspicious activities related to the 'Type' parameter and unusual user behavior. 7. Coordinate with the vendor or community to obtain or develop patches and apply them promptly once available. 8. Consider deploying multi-factor authentication (MFA) for access to the system to reduce the impact of session hijacking.

Description

A vulnerability has been found in code-projects Laundry System 1.0 and classified as problematic. This vulnerability affects unknown code of the file /data/edit_type.php. The manipulation of the argument Type leads to cross site scripting. The attack can be initiated remotely. The exploit has been disclosed to the public and may be used.

Impact

For European organizations using the code-projects Laundry System 1.0, this vulnerability poses a risk primarily to the confidentiality and integrity of user sessions and data. If exploited, attackers could steal session cookies, perform actions on behalf of authenticated users, or redirect users to malicious sites, leading to potential data breaches or reputational damage. Given that laundry management systems often handle customer information and operational data, exploitation could disrupt business processes or lead to unauthorized access to sensitive information. Although the vulnerability does not directly impact availability, the indirect consequences such as loss of customer trust or regulatory penalties under GDPR for data breaches could be significant. The medium severity rating suggests that while the threat is not critical, it should not be ignored, especially in environments where the Laundry System is integrated with other business-critical systems or where user data privacy is paramount.

Summary

CVE-2025-5796 is a cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability identified in version 1.0 of the code-projects Laundry System, specifically within the /data/edit_type.php file. The vulnerability arises from improper sanitization or validation of the 'Type' parameter, which can be manipulated by an attacker to inject malicious scripts. This flaw allows an attacker to execute arbitrary JavaScript code in the context of the victim's browser when they access a crafted URL or interact with the affected web application. The vulnerability is remotely exploitable without requiring authentication, although it requires some user interaction (e.g., clicking a malicious link). The CVSS 4.0 base score is 5.1, indicating a medium severity level. The vector details highlight that the attack vector is network-based (AV:N), with low attack complexity (AC:L), no privileges required (PR:L), and user interaction needed (UI:P). The impact primarily affects confidentiality and integrity at a low level, with no impact on availability. The vulnerability does not affect system components beyond the web interface, and no known exploits are currently in the wild. No official patches or fixes have been linked yet, suggesting that organizations using this Laundry System version should consider mitigation strategies promptly. XSS vulnerabilities can be leveraged for session hijacking, defacement, phishing, or delivering malware, potentially compromising user data and trust in the affected system.
