CVE-2025-58915 is a Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability classified under CWE-79, affecting the Emarket-design YouTube Showcase product up to version 3.5.0. The vulnerability arises from improper neutralization of input during web page generation, allowing malicious scripts to be stored and later executed in the context of users viewing the affected web pages. This type of vulnerability enables attackers to inject arbitrary JavaScript code that runs when other users access the compromised content, potentially leading to session hijacking, credential theft, or unauthorized actions performed on behalf of the victim. The CVSS 3.1 base score of 6.5 indicates a medium severity level, with the vector showing network attack vector (AV:N), low attack complexity (AC:L), requiring privileges (PR:L), user interaction (UI:R), scope change (S:C), and partial impacts on confidentiality, integrity, and availability (C:L/I:L/A:L). The requirement for privileges and user interaction suggests that exploitation is not trivial but feasible in environments where users have some level of authenticated access and interact with the vulnerable interface. No known exploits are currently reported in the wild, and no patches have been linked yet, indicating that mitigation may rely on vendor updates or workarounds. Stored XSS vulnerabilities are particularly dangerous because the malicious payload persists on the server and affects multiple users, increasing the attack surface and potential impact.

For European organizations using Emarket-design YouTube Showcase, this vulnerability poses a significant risk to web application security and user trust. Exploitation could lead to unauthorized access to user sessions, data leakage, and manipulation of web content, undermining confidentiality and integrity of sensitive information. This is especially critical for organizations handling personal data under GDPR regulations, as exploitation could result in data breaches with legal and financial consequences. The scope change indicated by the CVSS vector means that successful exploitation could affect components beyond the initially vulnerable module, potentially compromising broader application functionality or user accounts. The requirement for user interaction and privileges suggests that internal users or authenticated customers could be targeted, increasing the risk in enterprise or membership-based platforms. Additionally, the persistent nature of stored XSS can facilitate phishing campaigns or malware distribution, amplifying the threat landscape. European organizations with public-facing websites or intranet portals using this product should be vigilant, as attackers could leverage this vulnerability to conduct targeted attacks or lateral movement within networks.

1. Immediate mitigation should include implementing strict input validation and output encoding on all user-supplied data within the YouTube Showcase application, especially where content is stored and later rendered. 2. Employ Content Security Policy (CSP) headers to restrict execution of unauthorized scripts and reduce the impact of potential XSS payloads. 3. Limit user privileges to the minimum necessary to reduce the risk posed by the PR:L vector; ensure that only trusted users can submit content that is rendered to others. 4. Monitor application logs and user activity for unusual behavior indicative of XSS exploitation attempts. 5. Until an official patch is released, consider disabling or restricting features that allow user-generated content or embedding within the YouTube Showcase module. 6. Educate users about the risks of interacting with untrusted content and encourage cautious behavior regarding links and embedded media. 7. Once available, promptly apply vendor patches or updates addressing this vulnerability. 8. Conduct regular security assessments and penetration testing focused on input handling and stored content to detect similar issues proactively.
