Technical ContextAI · show details
This vulnerability is classified as Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) (CWE-79), which allows attackers to inject malicious scripts into web pages viewed by other users. reNgine is an automated reconnaissance framework for web applications. HTML Injection occurs when an application improperly validates or sanitizes user inputs, allowing attackers to inject arbitrary HTML code. In this scenario, the vulnerability exists in the "Add Target" functionality of the application, where the Target Organization and Target Description fields accept HTML payloads. The injected HTML is rendered and executed in the target area, potentially leading to malicious actions. Exploitation of HTML Injection can compromise the application's integrity and user trust. Attackers can execute unauthorized actions, steal sensitive information, or trick users into performing harmful actions. The organization's reputation, customer trust, and regulatory compliance could be negatively affected.2.0. Users are advised to monitor the project for future releases which address this issue. There are no known workarounds. Affected products include: Yogeshojha Rengine.

Users are advised to monitor the project for future releases which address this issue. There are no known workarounds.
Executive ViewAI
Organizations using reNgine should be aware of moderate risk from CVE-2025-24966, a cross-site scripting vulnerability rated CVSS 5.3. Attackers could inject scripts to steal sessions or perform actions as authenticated users. Proof-of-concept code is publicly available. Organizations should apply vendor updates when available and monitor for exploitation.
Apply vendor patch. If patching is delayed: implement CSP headers, enable HttpOnly cookies, deploy WAF XSS rules.
