CVE-2025-6924 identifies a reflected Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability in TalentSoft Software's e-BAP Automation product, specifically in versions prior to build 42957. The root cause is improper neutralization of input during web page generation, classified under CWE-79. This flaw allows an attacker to craft malicious URLs or input that, when processed by the vulnerable web application, reflect the injected script back to the user's browser without proper sanitization or encoding. The vulnerability is exploitable remotely over the network (AV:N) without any privileges (PR:N), but requires user interaction (UI:R), such as clicking a malicious link. The scope is unchanged (S:U), and the impact affects confidentiality and integrity to a limited extent (C:L, I:L), with no impact on availability (A:N). Potential consequences include theft of session cookies, redirection to malicious sites, or manipulation of displayed content, which can facilitate phishing or further attacks. No patches or exploits are currently publicly available, but the vulnerability has been officially published and reserved since mid-2025. The medium CVSS score of 5.4 reflects the moderate risk posed by this vulnerability, balancing ease of exploitation with limited impact and the need for user interaction.

For European organizations, the impact of this vulnerability primarily involves the risk of session hijacking, credential theft, or phishing attacks targeting users of the TalentSoft e-BAP Automation platform. Since this software is often used for HR and business automation, compromise could lead to unauthorized access to sensitive employee or operational data, undermining confidentiality and integrity. Although availability is not affected, the reputational damage and potential regulatory consequences under GDPR for data breaches could be significant. The requirement for user interaction somewhat limits large-scale automated exploitation, but targeted spear-phishing campaigns could be effective. Organizations relying heavily on TalentSoft products for internal workflows or client-facing portals may face increased risk. Additionally, attackers could leverage this vulnerability as a foothold for further lateral movement or social engineering attacks within the enterprise environment.

Immediate mitigation should focus on implementing strict input validation and output encoding on all user-supplied data within the e-BAP Automation application, especially in URL parameters and form inputs. Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) can be configured to detect and block common XSS attack patterns targeting the affected endpoints. Organizations should educate users about the risks of clicking unsolicited links and encourage cautious behavior regarding emails and messages containing URLs. Monitoring web server logs for unusual query strings or repeated suspicious requests can help detect exploitation attempts. Once TalentSoft releases an official patch or update beyond build 42957, organizations must prioritize timely deployment. Additionally, employing Content Security Policy (CSP) headers can reduce the impact of successful XSS by restricting script execution sources. Regular security assessments and penetration testing focused on web application vulnerabilities should be conducted to identify and remediate similar issues proactively.
