CVE-2025-63528 in Blood Bank Management System
Summary
by MITRE • 12/01/2025
A cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in the Blood Bank Management System 1.0 within the blooddinfo.php component. The application fails to properly sanitize or encode user-supplied input before rendering it in response. An attacker can inject malicious JavaScript payloads into the error parameter, which is then executed in the victim's browser when the page is viewed.

The vulnerability identified as CVE-2025-63528 represents a critical cross-site scripting flaw within the Blood Bank Management System version 1.0, specifically affecting the blooddinfo.php component. This issue stems from inadequate input validation and output encoding mechanisms that fail to properly sanitize user-supplied data before it is rendered in web responses. The vulnerability manifests when the application processes the error parameter without implementing proper sanitization measures, creating an attack surface where malicious actors can inject harmful JavaScript code.
The technical exploitation of this vulnerability occurs through the manipulation of the error parameter within the blooddinfo.php component, which serves as an entry point for attackers to execute arbitrary JavaScript code within victim browsers. This flaw directly aligns with CWE-79 which categorizes cross-site scripting vulnerabilities as weaknesses in web applications that fail to properly validate or encode user input before incorporating it into dynamically generated web content. The vulnerability operates at the application layer and can be classified under the ATT&CK technique T1059.007 for script injection, specifically targeting web application interfaces.
The operational impact of this vulnerability extends beyond simple data theft or session hijacking, as it allows attackers to execute malicious code within the context of authenticated user sessions. When victims view the affected page containing the injected JavaScript payload, the malicious code executes in their browser environment with the privileges of the logged-in user. This presents a significant risk to blood bank management systems where sensitive patient information and medical data are stored, potentially enabling unauthorized access to confidential health records, manipulation of blood inventory data, or even complete system compromise through more sophisticated attack chains.
Mitigation strategies for CVE-2025-63528 should focus on implementing robust input validation and output encoding mechanisms throughout the application's data flow. The primary remediation involves sanitizing all user-supplied input parameters, particularly the error parameter, before rendering them in web responses. This can be achieved through the implementation of proper HTML encoding functions, input validation libraries, and the adoption of secure coding practices that follow the OWASP Secure Coding Practices. Additionally, the application should implement Content Security Policy (CSP) headers to limit the execution of unauthorized scripts and employ regular security testing including dynamic application security testing (DAST) and manual code reviews to identify similar vulnerabilities in other components of the blood bank management system. Organizations should also consider implementing web application firewalls and monitoring for suspicious parameter values to detect potential exploitation attempts.
