How CVE-2025-2206 Works

The vulnerability in aitangbao SpringBoot-Manager 3.0 arises from improper input sanitization in the `/sys/permission` endpoint. When the `name` parameter is manipulated with malicious JavaScript payloads, the application reflects it unsanitized, leading to stored or reflected XSS. Attackers can exploit this remotely by crafting a malicious link or form submission, potentially hijacking sessions, defacing pages, or stealing sensitive data. The lack of CSRF protection exacerbates the issue, allowing easier exploitation.
