Bold values are the worst case: easiest to exploit or largest impact.

Attack Vector: Network: The vulnerable component is bound to the network stack and the set of possible attackers extends beyond the other options listed, up to and including the entire Internet. Such a vulnerability is often termed 'remotely exploitable' and can be thought of as an attack being exploitable at the protocol level one or more network hops away (e.g., across one or more routers).
Attack Complexity: Low: Specialized access conditions or extenuating circumstances do not exist. An attacker can expect repeatable success against the vulnerable component.
Privileges Required: High: The attacker is authorized with (i.e., requires) privileges that provide significant (e.g., administrative) control over the vulnerable component that could affect component-wide settings and files.
User Interaction: Required: Successful exploitation of this vulnerability requires a user to take some action before the vulnerability can be exploited.
Scope: Changed: An exploited vulnerability can affect resources beyond the security scope managed by the security authority of the vulnerable component. In this case, the vulnerable component and the impacted component are different and managed by different security authorities.
Confidentiality: Low: There is some loss of confidentiality. Access to some restricted information is obtained, but the attacker does not have control over what information is obtained, or the amount or kind of loss is limited. The information disclosure does not cause a direct, serious loss to the impacted component.
Integrity: Low: Modification of data is possible, but the attacker does not have control over the consequence of a modification, or the amount of modification is limited. The data modification does not have a direct, serious impact on the impacted component.
Availability: Low: Performance is reduced or there are interruptions in resource availability. Even if repeated exploitation of the vulnerability is possible, the attacker does not have the ability to completely deny service to legitimate users. The resources in the impacted component are either partially available all of the time, or fully available only some of the time, but overall there is no direct, serious consequence to the impacted component.

A missing step is not evidence of safety. Sources: cve.org (opens in a new tab), the Metasploit, Exploit-DB and nuclei-templates index as of 2026-10-25.

Disclosed: The CVE record is public on cve.org. Its publication is t = 0.
Detectable: A public nuclei template can find exposed instances, for defenders and attackers alike.
Weaponised: Public exploit code exists in Metasploit or Exploit-DB, or CISA SSVC reports a public proof of concept.
Exploited in the wild: CISA KEV lists it, CISA SSVC rates exploitation active, or a source reports attacks.
Observed by OffSeq Mirage: OffSeq Mirage honeypot sensors recorded attack traffic for this CVE, or found exposed hosts without attack traffic.

Moments are spaced evenly, not to scale; a dashed line marks a gap of six months or more. Deltas count from t = 0. Sources that give only a date (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, or a time of exactly 00:00Z) read “same day” rather than hours. Metasploit modules carry the flaw’s disclosure date, not their release date, and nuclei templates carry no date, so both appear above but not on the timeline.

What to do

AI-suggested

To mitigate CVE-2025-60447, European organizations should implement several targeted measures beyond generic advice: 1) Restrict administrative access to the Emlog Pro email template configuration interface using strong authentication methods, such as multi-factor authentication (MFA) and IP whitelisting, to reduce the risk of unauthorized access. 2) Implement strict input validation and output encoding on all HTML inputs in the email template configuration, ensuring that any HTML or JavaScript code is properly sanitized or escaped before storage and rendering. 3) Regularly audit and monitor administrative activities and template changes for suspicious or unexpected modifications that could indicate exploitation attempts. 4) Isolate the email template management component within a secure network segment to limit potential lateral movement if compromised. 5) Maintain up-to-date backups of configuration data to enable rapid restoration in case of compromise. 6) Engage with Emlog Pro vendors or community to obtain patches or updates addressing this vulnerability as soon as they become available. 7) Educate administrators on the risks of injecting untrusted code and enforce strict policies on template content creation. These steps collectively reduce the likelihood of exploitation and limit the impact if an attack occurs.

Description

A stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability has been discovered in Emlog Pro 2.5.19. The vulnerability exists in the email template configuration component located at /admin/setting.php?action=mail, which allows administrators to input HTML code that is not properly sanitized, leading to persistent JavaScript execution.

Impact

For European organizations, the impact of CVE-2025-60447 could be significant in environments where Emlog Pro is used for managing email templates or related content. Exploitation could allow attackers with administrative access to inject malicious scripts that execute in the context of other administrators or users interacting with the email templates, potentially leading to session hijacking, credential theft, or unauthorized actions within the system. This could compromise sensitive organizational data, disrupt email communications, or facilitate lateral movement within internal networks. The vulnerability's requirement for administrator privileges limits the attack surface but also means that insider threats or compromised admin accounts could be leveraged. In sectors such as government, finance, healthcare, and critical infrastructure—where email systems are integral—such an exploit could undermine trust and operational continuity. Additionally, the persistent nature of stored XSS increases the risk of prolonged exposure and exploitation. Although no active exploits are known, the medium severity rating and potential for chained attacks warrant proactive mitigation.

Use a vetted library or framework that does not allow this weakness to occur or provides constructs that make this weakness easier to avoid.
Implementation · Architecture and Design
Understand the context in which your data will be used and the encoding that will be expected. This is especially important when transmitting data between different components, or when generating outputs that can contain multiple encodings at the same time, such as web pages or multi-part mail messages.
