CVE-2025-68848 identifies a reflected Cross-site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the amr cron manager product developed by anmari. This vulnerability stems from improper neutralization of user-supplied input during the generation of web pages, which allows malicious actors to inject and execute arbitrary JavaScript code in the context of the victim's browser. The affected versions include all releases up to and including version 2.3. Reflected XSS typically occurs when input sent to a web application is immediately included in the response without proper sanitization or encoding. In this case, the amr cron manager fails to adequately sanitize input parameters, enabling attackers to craft URLs or requests that embed malicious scripts. When a user interacts with such a crafted link, the injected script executes, potentially leading to session hijacking, credential theft, unauthorized actions, or distribution of malware. The vulnerability does not require prior authentication, increasing its risk profile, but does require user interaction to trigger the exploit. Currently, no known exploits have been reported in the wild, and no official patches or CVSS scores have been published. The vulnerability was reserved on December 24, 2025, and published on February 20, 2026. Given the nature of the vulnerability and the affected product's role in managing scheduled tasks, exploitation could disrupt administrative workflows or compromise user accounts.

The impact of CVE-2025-68848 on organizations worldwide can be significant, particularly for those relying on the amr cron manager for task scheduling and automation. Successful exploitation could lead to unauthorized access to user sessions, enabling attackers to impersonate legitimate users and perform administrative actions. This could result in data theft, unauthorized modifications to scheduled tasks, or deployment of further malicious payloads within the network. The vulnerability undermines confidentiality by exposing sensitive session information and integrity by allowing unauthorized actions. Availability impact is generally limited for reflected XSS but could arise indirectly if attackers disrupt cron job operations or escalate privileges. Since the vulnerability does not require authentication, it broadens the attack surface, especially if users are tricked into clicking malicious links via phishing or social engineering. Organizations with web-facing instances of amr cron manager are at higher risk, and the lack of an official patch increases the urgency for interim mitigations. The absence of known exploits suggests limited current exploitation but also indicates a window of opportunity for attackers to develop weaponized attacks.

To mitigate CVE-2025-68848, organizations should implement multiple layers of defense. First, apply strict input validation and output encoding on all user-supplied data within the amr cron manager interface, ensuring that special characters are properly escaped to prevent script injection. Since no official patch is currently available, consider deploying Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) with rules designed to detect and block reflected XSS attack patterns targeting the affected endpoints. Educate users and administrators about the risks of clicking unsolicited or suspicious links, especially those purporting to relate to cron management tasks. Monitor web server and application logs for unusual query parameters or repeated suspicious requests that may indicate attempted exploitation. If possible, restrict access to the amr cron manager interface to trusted networks or VPNs to reduce exposure. Stay alert for vendor updates or patches and apply them promptly once released. Additionally, implement Content Security Policy (CSP) headers to limit the execution of unauthorized scripts in browsers accessing the application. Finally, conduct regular security assessments and penetration tests focusing on input handling and XSS vulnerabilities in the environment.
