CVE-2025-9923 is a cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability identified in version 1.0 of the Campcodes Sales and Inventory System. The vulnerability exists in the /index.php file, specifically in the handling of the 'page' argument. Improper sanitization or validation of this input parameter allows an attacker to inject malicious scripts that execute in the context of the victim's browser. This flaw can be exploited remotely without requiring authentication or privileges, and user interaction is needed to trigger the malicious script (e.g., by visiting a crafted URL). The vulnerability is classified as reflected XSS, which typically occurs when user-supplied input is immediately echoed back in the web page response without proper encoding. The CVSS 4.0 base score is 5.3 (medium severity), reflecting the network attack vector, low complexity, no privileges required, no user interaction required for the attack to be initiated, but user interaction is needed to execute the payload. The impact primarily affects confidentiality and integrity by enabling attackers to steal session cookies, perform actions on behalf of the user, or deliver malicious payloads such as malware or phishing content. Although no known exploits are currently observed in the wild, the exploit code has been published, increasing the risk of exploitation. The lack of available patches or mitigations from the vendor at this time heightens the urgency for organizations using this system to implement compensating controls.

For European organizations using the Campcodes Sales and Inventory System 1.0, this vulnerability poses a moderate risk. The Sales and Inventory System likely handles sensitive business data, including sales records, inventory levels, and possibly customer information. Exploitation of this XSS flaw could lead to session hijacking, unauthorized actions within the application, or redirection to malicious sites, potentially resulting in data leakage or operational disruption. Given the remote attack vector and no authentication requirement, attackers can target employees or partners accessing the system via web browsers. This could facilitate broader attacks such as spear-phishing campaigns or lateral movement within the network if combined with other vulnerabilities. The impact on confidentiality and integrity could affect compliance with European data protection regulations like GDPR, especially if personal data is exposed or manipulated. Availability impact is limited but cannot be fully ruled out if attackers leverage the vulnerability to inject disruptive scripts. Overall, the threat is significant for organizations relying on this software for critical business functions, especially those with web-facing interfaces accessible by multiple users.

Since no official patch or update is currently available from Campcodes, European organizations should implement the following specific mitigations: 1) Employ Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) with custom rules to detect and block suspicious input patterns targeting the 'page' parameter in /index.php requests. 2) Conduct input validation and output encoding at the proxy or application layer if possible, sanitizing user inputs before they reach the vulnerable application. 3) Restrict access to the Sales and Inventory System to trusted networks or VPNs to reduce exposure to external attackers. 4) Educate users about the risks of clicking on untrusted links and implement browser security policies such as Content Security Policy (CSP) headers to limit script execution from untrusted sources. 5) Monitor web server logs and application behavior for unusual requests or error patterns indicative of exploitation attempts. 6) Plan for rapid deployment of patches once available and consider alternative software solutions if the vendor does not provide timely remediation. 7) Review session management practices to ensure session tokens are protected via HttpOnly and Secure flags to mitigate cookie theft via XSS.
