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: Low: The attacker requires privileges that provide basic capabilities that are typically limited to settings and resources owned by a single low-privileged user. Alternatively, an attacker with Low privileges has the ability to access only non-sensitive resources.
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.

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.

What to do

AI-suggested

To mitigate this vulnerability, organizations should implement strict input validation and output encoding for the 'Search' parameter in the admin.php component to prevent script injection. Employing Content Security Policy (CSP) headers can help reduce the impact of any injected scripts. Until an official patch is released, organizations should restrict access to the admin interface via network segmentation and VPNs, limiting exposure to trusted personnel only. User training to recognize phishing attempts is critical to reduce the risk of social engineering exploitation. Regular monitoring of web logs for suspicious requests targeting the 'Search' parameter can help detect exploitation attempts. Additionally, applying web application firewalls (WAFs) with rules to detect and block XSS payloads targeting this parameter can provide a temporary protective layer. Organizations should track updates from the vendor and apply patches promptly once available.

Description

A vulnerability classified as problematic was found in cgpandey hotelmis up to c572198e6c4780fccc63b1d3e8f3f72f825fc94e. This vulnerability affects unknown code of the file admin.php of the component HTTP GET Request Handler. The manipulation of the argument Search leads to cross site scripting. The attack can be initiated remotely. This product is using a rolling release to provide continious delivery. Therefore, no version details for affected nor updated releases are available.

Impact

For European organizations using the cgpandey hotelmis system, this XSS vulnerability poses risks primarily to administrative users who manage hotel information systems. Successful exploitation could lead to theft of session cookies or credentials, enabling attackers to impersonate administrators and potentially manipulate sensitive hotel data or booking information. This could result in data breaches, reputational damage, and operational disruptions. Since the vulnerability requires user interaction, phishing or social engineering campaigns targeting hotel staff are likely attack vectors. The impact on confidentiality and integrity is moderate, but availability is unlikely to be affected. Given the hospitality sector's importance in Europe, especially in countries with large tourism industries, exploitation could have financial and regulatory consequences, including GDPR compliance issues if personal data is compromised.

Summary

CVE-2025-7800 is a cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability identified in the cgpandey hotelmis software, specifically affecting the admin.php file's HTTP GET request handler. The vulnerability arises from improper sanitization or validation of the 'Search' parameter, allowing an attacker to inject malicious scripts that execute in the context of the victim's browser. This flaw can be exploited remotely without authentication, although it requires some user interaction (such as an administrator clicking a crafted link). The vulnerability is classified as 'problematic' with a CVSS 4.0 base score of 5.1, indicating a medium severity level. The rolling release model of the product means exact affected versions are not clearly delineated, but the vulnerability exists up to the commit hash c572198e6c4780fccc63b1d3e8f3f72f825fc94e. No patches or updates have been publicly disclosed yet, and no known exploits are currently in the wild. The vulnerability impacts confidentiality and integrity to a limited extent by potentially allowing session hijacking, credential theft, or unauthorized actions performed in the context of an authenticated user. Availability impact is negligible. The attack vector is network-based with low attack complexity and no privileges required, but user interaction is necessary for exploitation.
