CVE-2025-71177: CWE-79 Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation (XSS or 'Cross-site Scripting') in LavaLite LavaLite CMS
LavaLite CMS versions up to and including 10.1.0 contain a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability in the package creation and search functionality. Authenticated users can supply crafted HTML or JavaScript in the package Name or Description fields that is stored and later rendered without proper output encoding in package search results. When other users view search results that include the malicious package, the injected script executes in their browsers, potentially enabling session hijacking, credential theft, and unauthorized actions in the context of the victim.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2025-71177 is a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability in LavaLite CMS affecting versions up to 10.1.0. The issue arises because user-supplied input in package Name or Description fields is not properly neutralized before being rendered in package search results. Authenticated users can exploit this to inject malicious scripts that execute in the browsers of other users viewing the search results. The vulnerability is classified under CWE-79 (Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation).
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation allows an authenticated attacker to execute arbitrary scripts in the context of other users' browsers when they view package search results. This can lead to session hijacking, theft of credentials, and unauthorized actions performed on behalf of the victim user. The CVSS 4.0 base score is 5.1 (medium severity), reflecting network attack vector, low complexity, and limited privileges required.
Mitigation Recommendations
No official patch or fix is currently available for this vulnerability. Users should apply strict input validation and output encoding on the affected fields as a temporary mitigation. Monitor vendor advisories for updates regarding an official fix. Restricting user privileges and limiting access to package creation and search features may reduce exposure.
