CVE-2025-58253 is a medium-severity vulnerability classified as CWE-79, indicating an improper neutralization of input during web page generation, commonly known as Cross-site Scripting (XSS). Specifically, this vulnerability affects the Rameez Iqbal Real Estate Manager product, versions up to 7.3. The vulnerability is DOM-based XSS, meaning that the malicious script is executed as a result of modifying the Document Object Model (DOM) environment in the victim's browser, rather than being directly injected into the server response. This type of XSS occurs when client-side scripts write user-controllable data to the DOM without proper sanitization or encoding, allowing attackers to execute arbitrary JavaScript in the context of the victim's browser session. The CVSS v3.1 score is 6.5, reflecting a medium severity level. The vector string (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:L) indicates that the attack can be performed remotely over the network (AV:N) with low attack complexity (AC:L), requires privileges (PR:L) and user interaction (UI:R), and has a scope change (S:C). The impact affects confidentiality, integrity, and availability at a low level. Although no known exploits are currently in the wild, the vulnerability poses a risk of session hijacking, credential theft, or unauthorized actions performed on behalf of the user. The lack of available patches at the time of publication increases the urgency for mitigation. The vulnerability arises from insufficient input validation or output encoding in the web application’s client-side code, allowing attackers to craft malicious URLs or input that trigger the XSS when processed by the victim’s browser.

For European organizations using the Rameez Iqbal Real Estate Manager software, this DOM-based XSS vulnerability can lead to significant security risks. Attackers could exploit this flaw to execute malicious scripts in the browsers of users interacting with the affected application, potentially stealing session cookies, redirecting users to phishing sites, or performing unauthorized actions within the application context. This can compromise user data confidentiality and integrity, and disrupt availability through malicious payloads. Real estate platforms often handle sensitive client information, including personal identification and financial data, making the impact more severe. Additionally, exploitation could damage organizational reputation and lead to regulatory non-compliance under GDPR, which mandates protection of personal data and timely breach notification. The requirement for user interaction and privileges limits the attack vector somewhat, but social engineering or insider threats could facilitate exploitation. The scope change in the CVSS vector suggests that the vulnerability could affect resources beyond the initially vulnerable component, increasing potential damage. Given the real estate sector’s importance in European economies and the increasing digitization of property management, this vulnerability could have widespread implications if exploited.

Organizations should immediately audit their use of the Rameez Iqbal Real Estate Manager software and identify affected versions. Since no patches are currently available, temporary mitigations include implementing strict Content Security Policy (CSP) headers to restrict script execution and reduce the impact of injected scripts. Input validation and output encoding should be enforced on all user-controllable inputs, especially those reflected in the DOM. Developers should review client-side code to sanitize data before insertion into the DOM, using secure JavaScript APIs that avoid direct HTML insertion (e.g., textContent instead of innerHTML). User training to recognize phishing attempts and suspicious links can reduce the risk of user interaction exploitation. Monitoring and logging web application activity for unusual behavior can help detect exploitation attempts. Organizations should also engage with the vendor for timely patch releases and apply updates as soon as they become available. Network-level protections such as Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) can be tuned to detect and block common XSS payloads targeting this application. Finally, conducting regular security assessments and penetration testing focused on client-side vulnerabilities will help identify and remediate similar issues proactively.
