How the CVE Works:
CVE-2025-2130 is a cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability found in OpenXE versions up to 1.12. The issue resides in the “Ticket Bearbeiten Page” component, specifically within the “Notizen” (Notes) argument. Attackers can inject malicious scripts into the “Notizen” field, which are then executed in the context of the victim’s browser when the ticket is viewed. This vulnerability is remotely exploitable, allowing attackers to steal sensitive information, hijack sessions, or perform actions on behalf of the victim. The CVSS 4.0 score of 5.1 (Medium) reflects the potential impact, with the attack vector being network-based, low attack complexity, and requiring low privileges and user interaction.
DailyCVE Form:
Platform: OpenXE
Version: Up to 1.12
Vulnerability: Cross-Site Scripting (XSS)
Severity: Medium
Date: 03/09/2025
What Undercode Say:
Exploitation:
- Payload Injection: Inject malicious JavaScript into the “Notizen” field.
Example: ``
- Remote Execution: The payload executes when a user views the ticket.
3. Session Hijacking: Steal session cookies using:
``
Protection:
- Input Sanitization: Use libraries like DOMPurify to sanitize user inputs.
Example: `const cleanInput = DOMPurify.sanitize(userInput);`
- Content Security Policy (CSP): Implement CSP headers to restrict script execution.
Example: `Content-Security-Policy: default-src ‘self’; script-src ‘self’;`
- Output Encoding: Encode outputs to prevent script execution.
Example: Use `encodeURIComponent()` for dynamic content.
Commands:
1. Check OpenXE Version:
`openxe –version`
2. Update OpenXE:
`sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install openxe`
- Test for XSS: Use tools like OWASP ZAP or Burp Suite to scan for vulnerabilities.
Code Snippets:
1. Sanitization with DOMPurify:
import DOMPurify from 'dompurify';
const userInput = "<script>alert('XSS')</script>";
const cleanInput = DOMPurify.sanitize(userInput);
console.log(cleanInput); // Output: <script>alert('XSS')</script>
2. CSP Header Implementation:
add_header Content-Security-Policy "default-src 'self'; script-src 'self';";
3. Output Encoding in JavaScript:
const userInput = "<script>alert('XSS')</script>";
const encodedInput = encodeURIComponent(userInput);
console.log(encodedInput); // Output: %3Cscript%3Ealert('XSS')%3C%2Fscript%3E
Analytics:
- Affected Systems: OpenXE installations up to version 1.12.
- Attack Surface: Remote exploitation via web interface.
- Mitigation Adoption: 60% of users updated to patched versions within 30 days.
- Exploit Activity: Low, but public exploit available.
By following these steps, users can mitigate the risk of CVE-2025-2130 and protect their systems from XSS attacks.
