CVE-2025-68876 identifies a reflected Cross-site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the INVELITY Invelity SPS connect product, versions up to 1.0.8. The vulnerability stems from improper neutralization of input during web page generation (CWE-79), which allows attackers to inject malicious scripts into web pages that are reflected back to users. This type of XSS is triggered when a user interacts with a crafted URL or input that the application fails to properly sanitize or encode before rendering in the browser. The vulnerability is remotely exploitable over the network (AV:N), requires no privileges (PR:N), but does require user interaction (UI:R), such as clicking a malicious link. The scope is changed (S:C), meaning the vulnerability can affect resources beyond the vulnerable component. The impact affects confidentiality, integrity, and availability to a low to moderate degree (C:L/I:L/A:L), as attackers can execute arbitrary scripts in the context of the victim's browser, potentially stealing session tokens, defacing content, or performing actions on behalf of the user. No public exploits or patches are currently available, increasing the window of exposure. The vulnerability affects organizations using Invelity SPS connect, which is typically deployed in supply chain and operational environments, making it a target for attackers aiming to disrupt business processes or exfiltrate sensitive data. The reflected XSS nature means phishing or social engineering campaigns could be used to lure victims to malicious URLs. The lack of patches necessitates immediate mitigation through compensating controls.

For European organizations, this vulnerability poses a significant risk to web application security, particularly for those relying on Invelity SPS connect for supply chain or operational management. Exploitation can lead to session hijacking, unauthorized actions performed in the context of legitimate users, theft of sensitive information, and potential malware delivery. This can disrupt business operations, damage reputation, and lead to regulatory non-compliance under GDPR due to data breaches. The reflected XSS vector also facilitates targeted phishing attacks, increasing the risk of broader compromise within organizations. Given the interconnected nature of supply chains in Europe, a successful attack could cascade, affecting multiple partners and critical infrastructure sectors. The absence of patches and known exploits in the wild means organizations must act proactively to prevent exploitation, as attackers may develop exploits rapidly once details are public.

Organizations should implement strict input validation and output encoding on all user-supplied data within Invelity SPS connect interfaces to prevent script injection. Deploying Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) with robust XSS detection and blocking capabilities can provide immediate protection. Security teams should monitor for suspicious URL patterns and user activity indicative of XSS exploitation attempts. User awareness training is crucial to reduce the risk of successful phishing campaigns leveraging this vulnerability. Network segmentation and least privilege principles should be enforced to limit the impact of any successful exploitation. Since no official patches are available, organizations should engage with INVELITY for updates and consider temporary workarounds such as disabling vulnerable features or restricting access to the affected application to trusted users only. Regular security assessments and penetration testing focused on XSS vectors can help identify residual risks.
