CVE-2025-58960 is a vulnerability classified as CWE-79, indicating an Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation, commonly known as Cross-site Scripting (XSS). This specific vulnerability affects the product 'IP Based Login' developed by brijeshk89, up to version 2.4.3. The flaw allows for Stored XSS attacks, where malicious input is persistently stored by the application and later rendered in web pages without proper sanitization or encoding. This can enable attackers to execute arbitrary JavaScript in the context of the victim's browser when they access the affected pages. The vulnerability has a CVSS v3.1 base score of 5.9, categorized as medium severity. The vector string (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:L) indicates that the attack can be launched remotely over the network (AV:N) with low attack complexity (AC:L), but requires high privileges (PR:H) and user interaction (UI:R). The scope is changed (S:C), meaning the vulnerability affects resources beyond the initially vulnerable component. The impact affects confidentiality, integrity, and availability at a low level. No known exploits are currently reported in the wild, and no patches or fixes have been linked yet. Stored XSS vulnerabilities are particularly dangerous because they can be used to steal session cookies, perform actions on behalf of users, or deliver further malware payloads. The requirement for high privileges and user interaction somewhat limits the attack surface but does not eliminate risk, especially in environments where privileged users interact with the affected system regularly.

For European organizations, this vulnerability poses a moderate risk primarily to internal web applications or administrative interfaces that utilize the IP Based Login product. Since exploitation requires high privileges and user interaction, the threat is more relevant in scenarios where privileged users (e.g., system administrators or network operators) might be tricked into clicking malicious links or accessing crafted content. Successful exploitation could lead to unauthorized actions performed with elevated privileges, data leakage, or disruption of services, impacting confidentiality, integrity, and availability. Given the scope change in the vulnerability, attackers might leverage this to affect other components or systems connected to the vulnerable application. European organizations with critical infrastructure or sensitive data accessed via this product could face operational disruptions or data breaches. The absence of known exploits reduces immediate risk but does not preclude targeted attacks, especially in high-value environments. Compliance with GDPR and other data protection regulations means that exploitation leading to data exposure could result in regulatory penalties and reputational damage.

To mitigate this vulnerability, European organizations should first identify all instances of the IP Based Login product in their environment, particularly versions up to 2.4.3. Since no official patches are currently available, organizations should implement compensating controls such as: 1) Restrict access to the affected application to only trusted and necessary privileged users, minimizing exposure. 2) Employ web application firewalls (WAFs) with custom rules to detect and block typical XSS payloads targeting the vulnerable endpoints. 3) Conduct thorough input validation and output encoding on all user-supplied data in the affected application, if source code or configuration access is possible. 4) Educate privileged users about the risks of clicking unknown links or interacting with untrusted content while logged into the system. 5) Monitor logs and network traffic for unusual activity that could indicate exploitation attempts. 6) Engage with the vendor or community to obtain updates or patches as soon as they become available. 7) Consider isolating the affected application within segmented network zones to limit lateral movement in case of compromise.
