Executive Summary

CVE-2025-58087 is a reflected cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the config.php script of MedDream PACS Premium version 7.3.6.870. It occurs because the 'status' GET parameter is directly included in the HTML response without any sanitization or encoding. An attacker can craft a malicious URL containing JavaScript code in the 'status' parameter, which will then be executed in the victim's browser when they visit the URL. This allows arbitrary JavaScript execution within the context of the vulnerable web application. [1]

Impact Analysis

This vulnerability can allow an attacker to execute arbitrary JavaScript code in the context of the vulnerable web application on the victim's browser. This can lead to session hijacking, defacement of the web interface, or other client-side attacks that compromise user data or application integrity. Since the attack is remotely exploitable via crafted URLs, it poses a risk to users who access the affected application. [1]

Detection Guidance

This vulnerability can be detected by sending crafted HTTP GET requests to the vulnerable config.php script, specifically targeting the 'status' parameter with a JavaScript payload such as <script>alert(1)</script>. For example, you can use curl to test this: curl -v 'http://<target>/Pacs/config.php?status=<script>alert(1)</script>'. If the response contains the injected script without sanitization, the vulnerability is present. Monitoring web server logs for suspicious requests containing script tags in the 'status' parameter can also help detect exploitation attempts. [1]

Mitigation Strategies

Immediate mitigation steps include implementing proper sanitization and encoding of all user-controllable input before including it in HTML output, especially the 'status' parameter in config.php. Until a patch is applied, consider applying web application firewall (WAF) rules to block requests containing suspicious script tags or JavaScript payloads in the 'status' parameter. Additionally, restrict access to the vulnerable web interface to trusted networks or users to reduce exposure. [1]

Compliance Impact

The vulnerability allows execution of arbitrary JavaScript in the context of the vulnerable web application, which can lead to session hijacking and other client-side attacks. Such security weaknesses can compromise the confidentiality and integrity of sensitive data managed by the MedDream PACS Premium system, potentially violating data protection requirements under standards like GDPR and HIPAA. However, specific impacts on compliance are not detailed in the provided resources. [1]
