CVE-2025-63211 is a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability identified in Bridgetech VBC Server & Element Manager firmware versions 6.5.0-9 through 6.5.0-10. The vulnerability arises from insufficient input sanitization of the addName parameter submitted to the /vbc/core/userSetupDoc/userSetupDoc endpoint. An attacker can craft malicious JavaScript payloads that, when stored by the server, are later executed in the browsers of users accessing the affected interface. This stored XSS can lead to arbitrary code execution within the security context of the application, potentially allowing attackers to hijack user sessions, steal sensitive information, or perform unauthorized actions. The flaw does not require prior authentication or user interaction beyond visiting the compromised page, increasing its risk profile. Although no public exploits have been reported, the vulnerability's nature and the critical role of Bridgetech VBC Server & Element Manager in managing network elements make it a significant threat. The lack of a CVSS score necessitates an independent severity assessment. The vulnerability affects firmware versions 6.5.0-9 through 6.5.0-10, and no patches or mitigations have been officially published at this time. Organizations should monitor for updates and consider compensating controls to reduce exposure.

For European organizations, this vulnerability could lead to unauthorized access to management interfaces of network infrastructure, compromising confidentiality and integrity of critical systems. Exploitation could allow attackers to execute arbitrary scripts, potentially leading to session hijacking, credential theft, or manipulation of network configurations. This is particularly concerning for sectors such as telecommunications, energy, and critical infrastructure operators that rely on Bridgetech products for element management. The stored nature of the XSS means that once injected, multiple users could be affected, amplifying the impact. Disruption or compromise of network management systems could result in operational downtime, data breaches, and regulatory non-compliance under GDPR, leading to financial and reputational damage. The absence of known exploits in the wild provides a window for mitigation, but the risk remains high due to the vulnerability's characteristics and the strategic importance of affected systems in Europe.

1. Immediately restrict access to the /vbc/core/userSetupDoc/userSetupDoc endpoint to trusted administrators via network segmentation and access control lists. 2. Implement web application firewalls (WAFs) with rules to detect and block malicious input patterns targeting the addName parameter. 3. Apply strict input validation and sanitization on all user-supplied data, especially parameters that interact with the user interface. 4. Monitor logs for unusual activity or repeated attempts to inject scripts via the vulnerable endpoint. 5. Engage with Bridgetech support or vendors to obtain patches or firmware updates addressing this vulnerability as soon as they become available. 6. Educate administrators and users about the risks of XSS and safe browsing practices within management consoles. 7. Consider deploying Content Security Policy (CSP) headers to limit the execution of unauthorized scripts in the application context. 8. Regularly audit and update firmware to the latest secure versions once patches are released.
