The CVE-2025-14205 vulnerability is a stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) flaw within the `/membership_profile.php` file of the Chamber of Commerce Membership Management System 1.0. It specifically exists in the “Your Info Handler” component. The vulnerability arises due to insufficient sanitization and validation of user-supplied input in the Full Name, Address, City, and `State` parameters during profile updates. An attacker with member-level access (reflecting the high privileges, PR:H, in the CVSS vector) can inject malicious JavaScript payloads into these fields. This injected script is then permanently stored on the server’s database. The attack is carried out remotely (AV:N) with low attack complexity (AC:L). When an authenticated user, such as an administrator viewing member profiles, accesses a compromised profile page, the malicious script is automatically executed in their browser context. This execution occurs without proper notification to the victim user (UI:P). The exploit leverages the trust of the application’s domain, allowing the attacker to perform actions on behalf of the victim. Successful exploitation could lead to the theft of session cookies, account takeover, defacement of user profiles, or redirection to malicious sites. The public availability of the exploit increases the immediate risk. The attack requires the victim to interact with the compromised page, but no user interaction is needed to trigger the script itself once the page loads. The primary impact is on integrity (VI:L) with no direct impact on confidentiality or availability of the system itself.

Example curl command to probe for unsanitized input curl -X POST 'http://<TARGET>/membership_profile.php' -d "Full_Name=<script>alert(1)</script>&Address=test" Searching for vulnerable patterns in source code grep -r "\$_POST\[.Full_Name.\]" /var/www/html/ grep -r "echo.Full_Name" /var/www/html/ Simple HTML/JS payload for proof-of-concept <img src=x onerror=alert(document.cookie)>
How Exploit:
- Attacker logs into the system with obtained member credentials.
2. Navigates to the profile editing page (`/membership_profile.php`).
- Inserts a malicious JavaScript payload into one or more of the text fields (Full Name, Address, City, State).
- Saves the profile, storing the payload on the server.
- The payload automatically executes when an administrator or another user views the attacker’s profile page.
