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: High: The attacker requires privileges that provide significant (e.g., administrative) control over the vulnerable system allowing full access to the vulnerable system’s settings and files.
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

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, organizations should implement strict input validation and output encoding on the 'Name' parameter within the edit-customer-detailed.php component to neutralize malicious scripts. Employing Content Security Policy (CSP) headers can reduce the impact of XSS by restricting script execution sources. Conducting security awareness training to educate staff about the risks of clicking suspicious links or executing unknown scripts can reduce the likelihood of successful exploitation. Regularly monitoring web application logs for unusual input patterns or script injection attempts is recommended. Finally, organizations should maintain an inventory of affected systems and plan for timely updates once a vendor patch is released.

Description

A vulnerability was found in SourceCodester Best Salon Management System 1.0. It has been rated as problematic. This issue affects some unknown processing of the file /panel/edit-customer-detailed.php of the component Update Customer Details Page. The manipulation of the argument Name leads to cross site scripting. The attack may be initiated remotely. The exploit has been disclosed to the public and may be used.

Impact

For European organizations using the SourceCodester Best Salon Management System version 1.0, this XSS vulnerability poses a moderate risk. Exploitation could lead to unauthorized access to customer data, manipulation of customer records, or compromise of employee sessions, undermining data integrity and confidentiality. Given the nature of salon management systems, which often store personal identifiable information (PII) such as customer names, contact details, and appointment histories, a successful attack could result in privacy violations and regulatory non-compliance under GDPR. Additionally, the presence of malicious scripts could damage organizational reputation and customer trust. Although the vulnerability does not directly affect system availability, the indirect consequences of data breaches and potential regulatory fines could be significant. The requirement for user interaction limits automated exploitation but does not eliminate risk, especially if attackers employ social engineering to lure users into triggering the payload.

Summary

CVE-2025-7139 is a cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability identified in version 1.0 of the SourceCodester Best Salon Management System, specifically within the /panel/edit-customer-detailed.php file that handles updating customer details. The vulnerability arises due to improper sanitization or validation of the 'Name' parameter, which allows an attacker to inject malicious scripts. This flaw can be exploited remotely without authentication, although it requires user interaction to trigger the malicious payload. The vulnerability has been publicly disclosed, increasing the risk of exploitation. The CVSS 4.0 base score is 4.8 (medium severity), reflecting that the attack vector is network-based with low attack complexity, no privileges required, but user interaction is necessary. The impact primarily affects the integrity and confidentiality of user data by enabling script execution in the context of the victim's browser, potentially leading to session hijacking, credential theft, or unauthorized actions within the salon management system's web interface. There is no indication of a patch or fix currently available, and no known exploits are actively observed in the wild.
