CVE-2025-60154 is a medium-severity vulnerability classified under CWE-79, which pertains to Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation, commonly known as Cross-site Scripting (XSS). This vulnerability affects the Jennifer Moss MWW Disclaimer Buttons product, specifically versions up to 3.41. The flaw allows for Stored XSS attacks, where malicious scripts injected by an attacker are permanently stored on the target server and executed in the context of users visiting the affected web pages. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 5.9, indicating a medium level of severity. The vector string (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:L) reveals that the attack can be executed 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 on confidentiality, integrity, and availability is low to medium (C:L/I:L/A:L). The vulnerability arises because the product does not properly sanitize or encode user inputs before embedding them into web pages, allowing attackers to inject malicious JavaScript code that can execute in the browsers of other users. Although no known exploits are currently reported in the wild, the presence of stored XSS can lead to session hijacking, defacement, or distribution of malware, especially in environments where the affected product is used to display disclaimers or other user-generated content.

For European organizations, the impact of this vulnerability can be significant depending on the deployment context of MWW Disclaimer Buttons. Organizations using this product on public-facing websites or intranet portals could be exposed to persistent XSS attacks, potentially compromising user sessions, stealing sensitive data, or conducting phishing attacks under the guise of legitimate content. The vulnerability's requirement for high privileges to exploit suggests that attackers would need some level of authenticated access, which may limit exposure but also indicates insider threat risks or compromised accounts could be leveraged. The scope change means that the attack could affect other components or data beyond the immediate vulnerable module, increasing the risk of broader system compromise. Given the GDPR and other stringent data protection regulations in Europe, exploitation leading to data leakage or unauthorized access could result in regulatory penalties and reputational damage. Additionally, stored XSS vulnerabilities can undermine user trust and disrupt business operations if exploited to deface websites or deliver malware.

To mitigate this vulnerability, European organizations should prioritize the following actions: 1) Apply patches or updates from Jennifer Moss as soon as they become available, even though no patch links are currently provided, monitoring vendor communications closely. 2) Implement strict input validation and output encoding on all user-supplied data within the MWW Disclaimer Buttons component, ensuring that scripts or HTML tags are properly neutralized before rendering. 3) Employ Content Security Policy (CSP) headers to restrict the execution of unauthorized scripts in browsers, limiting the impact of potential XSS payloads. 4) Enforce the principle of least privilege by restricting high-level user access to the minimum necessary, reducing the risk that an attacker can exploit the vulnerability requiring high privileges. 5) Conduct regular security audits and penetration testing focused on web application components to detect and remediate XSS and other injection flaws proactively. 6) Educate users about phishing and suspicious interactions, as user interaction is required for exploitation. 7) Monitor web application logs and user activity for signs of injection attempts or anomalous behavior that could indicate exploitation attempts.
