Overview
The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) system has recently identified a significant security vulnerability labeled as CVE-2025-60991. This vulnerability pertains specifically to Codazon Magento Themes, ranging from versions v1.1.0.0 to v2.4.7. It is a reflected cross-site scripting (XSS) flaw which, if exploited, grants attackers the ability to execute arbitrary JavaScript within the context of a user’s browser. This vulnerability is a serious issue due to the potential for system compromise or data leakage, and, therefore, requires immediate attention and mitigation.

How the Exploit Works
The vulnerability works by exploiting the ‘cat’ parameter in Codazon Magento Themes. Attackers can craft a specific payload, injecting it into the ‘cat’ parameter. When a user interacts with this manipulated parameter, the payload activates, causing the user’s browser to execute the arbitrary JavaScript code. This execution occurs within the user’s browser context, bypassing default security measures and potentially leading to system compromise or data leakage.
Conceptual Example Code
A potential exploitation of this vulnerability might look like this:
GET /index.php?cat=<script>malicious_javascript_here</script> HTTP/1.1
Host: vulnerable-site.com
Accept: */*
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/58.0.3029.110 Safari/537Here, `` is the injected malicious JavaScript code, substituted for an actual exploit.
Mitigation
To mitigate this vulnerability, it is highly recommended to apply the vendor’s patch. In the absence of a patch, implementing a Web Application Firewall (WAF) or an Intrusion Detection System (IDS) can serve as temporary mitigation. Regularly updating and patching software is fundamental to maintaining robust cybersecurity. Regular security audits can also significantly reduce the risk of successful exploitation of such vulnerabilities.
