CVE-2025-59749 is a reflected Cross-site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability identified in AndSoft's e-TMS version 25.03, a transportation management system. The vulnerability arises from improper neutralization of user-supplied input in the 'l' parameter of the '/clt/TRACK_REQUEST.ASP' endpoint. Specifically, the application fails to adequately sanitize or encode this parameter before reflecting it in the generated web page, allowing an attacker to craft a malicious URL containing JavaScript code. When a victim accesses this URL, the injected script executes in their browser context. This can lead to session hijacking, credential theft, or unauthorized actions performed on behalf of the user. The CVSS 4.0 base score is 6.9 (medium severity), reflecting that the vulnerability is remotely exploitable over the network without authentication or user interaction, but with limited impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability (only low impact on confidentiality). No known exploits are currently reported in the wild. The vulnerability is classified under CWE-79, which covers improper neutralization of input during web page generation, a common and well-understood web security flaw. The lack of a patch link suggests that a fix may not yet be publicly available or announced. The vulnerability disclosure was published on October 2, 2025, with the initial reservation on September 19, 2025.

For European organizations using AndSoft e-TMS v25.03, this vulnerability poses a moderate risk. Since e-TMS is a transportation management system, it is likely used by logistics companies, freight forwarders, and supply chain operators. Exploitation could allow attackers to execute arbitrary scripts in the browsers of employees or partners accessing the system, potentially leading to theft of session tokens, unauthorized access to sensitive shipment data, or manipulation of tracking information. This could disrupt logistics operations, cause data breaches involving customer or shipment details, and damage trust with clients and partners. While the vulnerability does not directly compromise system integrity or availability, the indirect effects of stolen credentials or session hijacking could escalate to more severe incidents. The lack of required authentication or user interaction for exploitation increases the risk, especially if malicious URLs are distributed via phishing or other social engineering campaigns targeting European logistics personnel. Given the critical role of transportation and supply chain management in European economies, such disruptions could have cascading effects on business continuity and regulatory compliance, especially under GDPR if personal data is exposed.

European organizations should implement the following specific mitigations: 1) Immediately review and restrict access to the vulnerable endpoint '/clt/TRACK_REQUEST.ASP' by applying web application firewall (WAF) rules that detect and block suspicious input patterns in the 'l' parameter, such as embedded script tags or JavaScript event handlers. 2) Employ input validation and output encoding on the server side to sanitize the 'l' parameter, ensuring that any user-supplied data is properly escaped before rendering in the HTML response. 3) Monitor web server logs for unusual or repeated requests containing suspicious payloads targeting the 'l' parameter to detect potential exploitation attempts. 4) Educate employees about phishing risks and the dangers of clicking on untrusted URLs, especially those related to logistics tracking. 5) Coordinate with AndSoft to obtain and promptly apply any forthcoming patches or updates addressing this vulnerability. 6) Consider implementing Content Security Policy (CSP) headers to restrict the execution of inline scripts and reduce the impact of potential XSS attacks. 7) Conduct regular security assessments and penetration tests focusing on web application input handling to identify similar vulnerabilities proactively.
