Stored Cross-Site Scripting Vulnerability in AGILELOGIX
Free Google Maps
CVE-2025-22329
CVE-2025-22329 refers to a Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability found in AGILELOGIX Free Google Maps, affecting versions up to 1.0.1. This vulnerability arises from improper neutralization of input during web page generation, allowing attackers to inject malicious scripts that can be executed in the context of users visiting the affected web application.Description of the Vulnerability
Stored XSS vulnerabilities occur when an attacker is able to inject malicious scripts into a web application, which are then stored on the server and served to users later. In the case of AGILELOGIX Free Google Maps, the vulnerability allows an attacker to submit malicious payloads that get stored in the application’s database. When other users access the affected pages, their browsers execute these scripts, potentially leading to various harmful outcomes such as:- Data theft: Attackers can steal cookies or session tokens, allowing them to impersonate users.
- Defacement: The appearance of the website can be altered.
- Malware distribution: Users may be redirected to malicious sites or have malware installed on their devices.
Sample Scenarios
- User Profile Injection:
- An attacker creates a user profile with a malicious script in the name or bio field. When another user views this profile, their browser executes the script, which could capture their session cookies and send them to an attacker's server.
- Comment Section Attack:
- If AGILELOGIX Free Google Maps includes a comment feature, an attacker could post a comment containing a script. When other users load the comments section, the script runs, potentially redirecting them to a phishing site or logging their keystrokes.
- Map Marker Exploit:
- An attacker could exploit map markers by adding a marker with a malicious payload. When users click on this marker to view more information, the script executes in their browser.
Mitigation Strategies
To protect against CVE-2025-22329 and similar vulnerabilities, developers should implement several best practices:- Input Validation: Ensure that all user inputs are validated and sanitized before being processed or stored.
- Output Encoding: Use appropriate encoding mechanisms when displaying user-generated content to prevent execution of injected scripts.
- Content Security Policy (CSP): Implement CSP headers to restrict where scripts can be loaded from and executed.
- Regular Security Audits: Conduct regular code reviews and security audits to identify and remediate vulnerabilities promptly.
