Overview
The CVE-2025-4992 vulnerability represents a significant security risk in the Service Process Engineer component of the 3DEXPERIENCE platform. Specifically, these versions of the software contain a stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability, which if exploited, enables an attacker to execute arbitrary script code within a user’s browser session. The impact of this vulnerability ranges from unauthorized access to sensitive information, potential system compromise to data leakage. This vulnerability is of high concern to organizations running affected versions of the Service Process Engineer due to the severity of potential damage that can be caused by a successful exploit.

How the Exploit Works
The CVE-2025-4992 vulnerability stems from improper sanitization of user input within the Service Items Management component of Service Process Engineer. This allows an attacker to inject malicious script codes into the system which are stored and later executed when a user accesses the affected service items. The execution of this script runs in the context of the user’s browser session, potentially leading to unauthorized actions being performed under the user’s session.
Conceptual Example Code
The following is a conceptual example of how an attacker might inject malicious script into a vulnerable system:
POST /service-items-management/update HTTP/1.1
Host: target.example.com
Content-Type: application/json
{
"service_item": {
"id": "123",
"name": "<script>malicious_script</script>"
}
}In this example, the attacker sends a POST request to the service items management update endpoint. The request includes a script tag with the malicious script as the name of the service item. When a user views this service item, the malicious script executes in the user’s browser session, leading to potentially unauthorized actions.
Mitigation
Users of affected versions of Service Process Engineer are advised to apply the vendor patch as soon as possible to address this vulnerability. In the event where immediate patching is not possible, using a Web Application Firewall (WAF) or an Intrusion Detection System (IDS) can help to mitigate the risk to some extent by detecting and blocking attempts to exploit this vulnerability. However, these are only temporary solutions and applying the vendor patch remains the most effective way to completely mitigate the risk.
