CVE Alert: CVE-2025-10914 – Proliz Software Ltd. Co. – OBS (Student Affairs Information System)

Risk verdict

High risk: remote, user-interaction–driven reflected XSS with high confidentiality impact; exploitability is plausible in web-accessible contexts.

Why this matters

Reflected XSS can siphon credentials or session data and perform actions in a victim’s browser, potentially exposing sensitive student information. In a student information system, this enables credential theft, data exfiltration, and reputational damage if attackers access or manipulate records.

Most likely attack path

An attacker lures a user to a crafted link or page that causes the vulnerable input to be reflected without proper neutralisation. This requires only a valid user account to access the web app; no privileges are required beyond normal user access. Because the flaw is network-exposed and reflects user-supplied data, lateral movement is limited without additional footholds, but token or session data could be at risk during interaction.

Who is most exposed

Institutions hosting web-based student information portals or staff/student-facing dashboards—particularly those with publicly reachable interfaces or weak input sanitisation—are most at risk. Organisations with broad external access and standard web app workflows are prime targets.

Detection ideas

• Logs showing unusual reflected script payloads in request parameters.
• WAF alerts for common XSS patterns in input fields or responses.
• Anomalous HTML/script content appearing in pages that reflect user input.
• User reports of unexpected pop-ups or session anomalies following link clicks.

Mitigation and prioritisation

• Apply the vendor’s patched build promptly; ensure all instances are updated.
• Strengthen input validation and output encoding; enforce a strict Content Security Policy.
• Deploy WAF rules to block reflected XSS patterns and enable CSP reporting.
• Review session-management controls and rotate tokens after patching.
• Change-management: test in staging, verify no regressions, deploy in production with a rollback plan. If KEV/EPSS data becomes available indicating active exploitation, escalate to priority 1.
