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 2026-10-26.

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

European organizations should immediately audit their deployments of code-projects Laundry System to identify any instances of version 1.0. Until a vendor patch is available, implement the following mitigations: 1) Employ web application firewalls (WAFs) with rules to detect and block malicious input patterns targeting the 'Type' parameter in /data/insert_type.php. 2) Sanitize and validate all user inputs on the server side, especially the 'Type' parameter, to neutralize script tags or suspicious characters. 3) Implement Content Security Policy (CSP) headers to restrict the execution of unauthorized scripts in browsers. 4) Educate users and staff about phishing and social engineering risks related to XSS attacks. 5) Monitor logs for unusual requests or error messages related to the vulnerable endpoint. 6) If feasible, isolate or restrict access to the Laundry System application to trusted networks or VPNs to reduce exposure. 7) Plan and prioritize upgrading to a patched or newer version once available. These targeted mitigations go beyond generic advice by focusing on the specific vulnerable parameter and endpoint, combined with network-level protections and user awareness.

Description

A vulnerability was found in code-projects Laundry System 1.0 and classified as problematic. This issue affects some unknown processing of the file /data/insert_type.php. The manipulation of the argument Type leads to cross site scripting. The attack may 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 could lead to unauthorized script execution in users' browsers, potentially enabling attackers to steal session cookies, impersonate users, or conduct phishing attacks. While the direct impact on confidentiality and availability is limited, the integrity of user interactions and data could be compromised. This is particularly concerning for organizations handling sensitive customer information or payment data through the Laundry System. Additionally, exploitation could damage the organization's reputation and customer trust. Since the vulnerability requires user interaction, social engineering tactics could be employed to increase success rates. The medium severity rating indicates a moderate risk, but the absence of a patch and public disclosure raises the urgency for European entities to assess exposure and implement mitigations promptly.

Summary

CVE-2025-5797 is a cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability identified in version 1.0 of the code-projects Laundry System, specifically affecting the /data/insert_type.php endpoint. The vulnerability arises from improper handling and sanitization of the 'Type' parameter, which allows an attacker to inject malicious scripts that execute in the context of the victim's browser. This vulnerability is remotely exploitable without requiring authentication, although it requires some user interaction (such as a victim clicking a crafted link or visiting a malicious page). The CVSS 4.0 base score is 5.1, indicating a medium severity level. The vector string (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:P/VC:N/VI:L/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:P) shows that the attack is network-based, requires low attack complexity, no privileges, but some user interaction, and results in limited integrity impact with no confidentiality or availability impact. The vulnerability has been publicly disclosed but there are no known exploits in the wild at this time. The lack of a patch link suggests that a fix may not yet be available, increasing the urgency for mitigation. XSS vulnerabilities like this can be leveraged for session hijacking, defacement, phishing, or delivering malicious payloads, potentially compromising user trust and data integrity within the Laundry System application environment.
