Threat metrics

Exploit Maturity: POC

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

Attack Vector: Network: The vulnerable system is bound to the network stack and the set of possible attackers extends beyond the other options listed below, 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: The attacker must take no measurable action to exploit the vulnerability. The attack requires no target-specific circumvention to exploit the vulnerability. An attacker can expect repeatable success against the vulnerable system.
Attack Requirements: None: The successful attack does not depend on the deployment and execution conditions of the vulnerable system. The attacker can expect to be able to reach the vulnerability and execute the exploit under all or most instances of the vulnerability.
Privileges Required: Low: The attacker requires privileges that provide basic capabilities that are typically limited to settings and resources owned by a single low-privileged user. Alternatively, an attacker with Low privileges has the ability to access only non-sensitive resources.
User Interaction: Passive: Successful exploitation of this vulnerability requires limited interaction by the targeted user with the vulnerable system and the attacker’s payload. These interactions would be considered involuntary and do not require that the user actively subvert protections built into the vulnerable system.
Vulnerable system confidentiality: None: There is no loss of confidentiality within the Vulnerable System.
Vulnerable system 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 to the Vulnerable System.
Vulnerable system availability: None: There is no impact to availability within the Vulnerable System.
Subsequent system confidentiality: None: There is no loss of confidentiality within the Subsequent System or all confidentiality impact is constrained to the Vulnerable System.
Subsequent system integrity: None: There is no loss of integrity within the Subsequent System or all integrity impact is constrained to the Vulnerable System.
Subsequent system availability: None: There is no impact to availability within the Subsequent System or all availability impact is constrained to the Vulnerable System.
Exploit Maturity: POC: Based on threat intelligence sources each of the following must apply: · Proof-of-concept is publicly available · No knowledge of reported attempts to exploit this vulnerability · No knowledge of publicly available solutions used to simplify attempts to exploit the vulnerability

Exploitation evidence

Disclosed: evidence found.
CVE published 20 Jun 2025
Detectable: no evidence on record.
No public nuclei template indexed
Weaponised: no evidence on record.
No public exploit code indexed in Metasploit or Exploit-DB
Exploited in the wildExploited: no evidence on record.
Not in CISA KEV and no source reports exploitation
Observed by OffSeq MirageSeen by Mirage: no evidence on record.
No attack traffic recorded by OffSeq Mirage sensors

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 26 Oct 2026.

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.

AI-suggested

To mitigate this vulnerability effectively, European organizations should: 1) Immediately apply any available patches or updates from SourceCodester; if none are available, implement manual input validation and output encoding on the 'Name' parameter within the addRecipeModal function to neutralize malicious scripts. 2) Employ Content Security Policy (CSP) headers to restrict the execution of unauthorized scripts in browsers accessing the application. 3) Conduct a thorough code review of all user input handling in the application to identify and remediate similar XSS weaknesses. 4) Implement web application firewalls (WAFs) with rules tailored to detect and block XSS payloads targeting the affected endpoints. 5) Educate users and administrators about the risks of XSS and encourage cautious behavior when interacting with recipe submissions or links. 6) Monitor web server logs and user activity for signs of exploitation attempts or unusual behavior. 7) Consider migrating to more secure or actively maintained recipe management platforms if long-term support for this product is uncertain. These steps go beyond generic advice by focusing on specific code-level fixes, security headers, and operational monitoring tailored to the nature of this vulnerability and the affected component.

Description

A vulnerability was found in SourceCodester My Food Recipe 1.0 and classified as problematic. Affected by this issue is the function addRecipeModal of the file /endpoint/add-recipe.php of the component Add Recipe Page. The manipulation of the argument Name leads to cross site scripting. The attack may be launched remotely. The exploit has been disclosed to the public and may be used.

Impact

For European organizations using SourceCodester My Food Recipe 1.0, this vulnerability poses a moderate risk primarily to web application integrity and user trust. Successful exploitation could allow attackers to execute arbitrary scripts in users' browsers, leading to session hijacking, credential theft, or distribution of malware. This could result in reputational damage, especially for businesses relying on customer engagement through their recipe platforms. While the direct impact on confidentiality and availability is limited, the indirect consequences such as phishing campaigns or unauthorized actions performed on behalf of users could disrupt business operations. Organizations in the hospitality, food service, or culinary content sectors in Europe that utilize this software may face increased risk. Additionally, compliance with data protection regulations like GDPR could be jeopardized if user data is compromised through such attacks. The medium severity rating suggests that while the threat is not critical, it should not be ignored, especially in environments where user interaction with the application is frequent and sensitive data is processed or stored.
