CVE-2025-59748
📋 TL;DR
This reflected cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in AndSoft's e-TMS allows attackers to execute arbitrary JavaScript in victims' browsers by tricking them into clicking malicious URLs containing specially crafted 'l' and 'reset' parameters. Organizations using e-TMS v25.03 are affected, potentially exposing user sessions and sensitive data.

⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact
Worst Case
Attackers steal administrator credentials, hijack user sessions, deface the application, or redirect users to malicious sites, potentially leading to complete system compromise.
Likely Case
Attackers steal user session cookies, perform actions on behalf of authenticated users, or capture sensitive form data through crafted phishing campaigns.
If Mitigated
With proper input validation and output encoding, the attack would fail to execute JavaScript, limiting impact to parameter manipulation without code execution.
🎯 Exploit Status
Reflected XSS typically requires user interaction (clicking malicious link) but is trivial to craft and deploy.
🛠️ Fix & Mitigation
✅ Official Fix
Patch Version: Not specified
Vendor Advisory: https://www.incibe.es/en/incibe-cert/notices/aviso/update-24092025-multiple-vulnerabilities-andsofts-e-tms
Restart Required: No
Instructions:
1. Monitor vendor for security updates. 2. Apply patches when available. 3. Test in non-production environment first.
🔧 Temporary Workarounds
Web Application Firewall (WAF)
allDeploy WAF rules to block malicious XSS payloads in URL parameters.
Input Validation Filter
allImplement server-side validation to sanitize 'l' and 'reset' parameters.
🧯 If You Can't Patch
- Implement strict Content Security Policy (CSP) headers to restrict script execution.
- Deploy network segmentation to limit access to vulnerable systems.
🔍 How to Verify
Check if Vulnerable:
Test by accessing /clt/changepassword.asp with malicious script in 'l' or 'reset' parameters and check if it executes.Check Version:
Check application version in admin interface or about page.Verify Fix Applied:
Retest with same payloads after remediation; scripts should be properly encoded or blocked.📡 Detection & Monitoring
Log Indicators:
- Unusual long parameter values in /clt/changepassword.asp requests
- Requests containing script tags or JavaScript keywords in URL parameters
Network Indicators:
- HTTP requests with suspicious characters (<, >, ", ') in 'l' or 'reset' parameters
SIEM Query:
source="web_server" AND uri="/clt/changepassword.asp" AND (param="l" OR param="reset") AND (value="*<script>*" OR value="*javascript:*")
