CVE-2025-7632 is a stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability classified under CWE-79, found in Zohocorp's ManageEngine Exchange Reporter Plus product, specifically versions 5723 and earlier. The vulnerability exists in the Public Folders report component, where improper neutralization of user-supplied input during web page generation allows an attacker to inject malicious scripts that are stored and later executed in the context of other users’ browsers. The vulnerability requires the attacker to have low privileges (PR:L) and user interaction (UI:R), such as tricking a user into viewing a maliciously crafted report. The CVSS v3.1 base score is 7.3, indicating a high severity, with an attack vector of network (AV:N), low attack complexity (AC:L), and no impact on availability (A:N). The impact on confidentiality and integrity is high (C:H/I:H), meaning attackers can potentially steal sensitive information, hijack sessions, or perform actions on behalf of authenticated users. No public exploits are known yet, but the vulnerability's nature makes it a significant risk for organizations using this product to monitor Microsoft Exchange environments. The vulnerability was reserved in July 2025 and published in November 2025, with no patches currently linked, indicating that organizations must be vigilant and prepare mitigation strategies. Stored XSS vulnerabilities are particularly dangerous because they persist on the server and affect multiple users, increasing the attack surface. The ManageEngine Exchange Reporter Plus product is widely used in enterprise environments for Exchange reporting and monitoring, making this vulnerability relevant to many organizations.

For European organizations, the impact of CVE-2025-7632 can be substantial. Since ManageEngine Exchange Reporter Plus is used to monitor Microsoft Exchange environments, which are prevalent in enterprises and government agencies, exploitation could lead to unauthorized access to sensitive email metadata and reporting data. Attackers could steal confidential information, manipulate reports, or execute actions on behalf of legitimate users, potentially leading to further compromise of internal systems. The vulnerability could be leveraged as a foothold for lateral movement or espionage, especially in sectors handling sensitive data such as finance, healthcare, and public administration. The lack of availability impact means systems remain operational, possibly masking the presence of an attack. The requirement for user interaction limits mass exploitation but targeted spear-phishing or social engineering campaigns could be effective. The absence of known exploits currently provides a window for mitigation, but the high severity score demands urgent attention. European organizations with compliance obligations under GDPR must also consider the regulatory implications of data breaches stemming from this vulnerability.

1. Monitor Zohocorp’s official channels for patches addressing CVE-2025-7632 and apply them immediately upon release. 2. Until patches are available, restrict access to the Public Folders report to trusted administrators only, minimizing exposure. 3. Implement strict input validation and sanitization on all user inputs related to the Public Folders report, if customization or internal controls are possible. 4. Deploy Content Security Policy (CSP) headers to limit the execution of unauthorized scripts in browsers accessing the application. 5. Educate users about the risks of interacting with suspicious links or reports, reducing the likelihood of successful social engineering. 6. Conduct regular security assessments and penetration tests focusing on web application vulnerabilities within ManageEngine products. 7. Monitor logs for unusual activity related to the Public Folders report and user sessions to detect potential exploitation attempts early. 8. Consider network segmentation to isolate the reporting tool from critical infrastructure where feasible. 9. Employ web application firewalls (WAFs) with rules tuned to detect and block XSS payloads targeting this application component.
