CVE-2025-58810 is a medium severity vulnerability classified under CWE-79, indicating an Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation, commonly known as Cross-site Scripting (XSS). This vulnerability affects the jimmywb Simple Link List Widget, specifically versions up to 0.3.2. The flaw allows an attacker to inject malicious scripts that are stored and later executed in the context of users viewing the affected widget. The vulnerability is a Stored XSS type, meaning the malicious payload is saved on the server and delivered to users without proper sanitization or encoding. According to the CVSS 3.1 vector (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:L), exploitation requires network access, low attack complexity, high privileges, and user interaction, with a scope change that can affect other components. The impact includes limited confidentiality, integrity, and availability loss, as the attacker can execute scripts that may steal session tokens, manipulate displayed content, or perform actions on behalf of the user. No known exploits are currently in the wild, and no patches have been published yet. The vulnerability is particularly relevant for web applications using the Simple Link List Widget, which is a component likely embedded in websites to manage and display lists of links dynamically.

For European organizations, the impact of this vulnerability depends on the adoption of the jimmywb Simple Link List Widget in their web infrastructure. Organizations using this widget in customer-facing or internal web portals risk exposure to stored XSS attacks, which can lead to session hijacking, unauthorized actions, or defacement. This can result in reputational damage, data leakage, and potential regulatory non-compliance under GDPR if personal data is compromised. The scope change in the vulnerability indicates that exploitation could affect other components or users beyond the initially targeted scope, increasing the risk of widespread impact within an organization. Sectors with high web presence, such as e-commerce, government services, and financial institutions, are particularly vulnerable. The requirement for high privileges to exploit somewhat limits the attack surface but does not eliminate risk, especially in environments where multiple users have elevated access.

European organizations should immediately audit their web applications to identify the use of the jimmywb Simple Link List Widget, particularly versions up to 0.3.2. Until an official patch is released, organizations should implement strict input validation and output encoding on all user-supplied data rendered by the widget. Employ Content Security Policy (CSP) headers to restrict script execution sources and reduce the impact of potential XSS payloads. Limit the number of users with high privileges who can modify widget content to reduce exploitation risk. Conduct regular security reviews and penetration testing focusing on XSS vectors in affected applications. Additionally, monitor web logs and user reports for suspicious activity that may indicate attempted exploitation. Once a patch is available, prioritize its deployment. Consider deploying Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) with rules targeting XSS payloads specific to this widget as a temporary protective measure.
