Exploitation Conditions

Exploitation requires an authenticated RISE account with permission to create or edit invoices or send messages/chat (CVSS PR:L confirms authentication is needed-this is not unauthenticated). The injection is triggered when RISE renders the stored field into an outbound email, a generated PDF, or the messaging/chat module, so realized impact depends on a recipient opening or viewing that delivered content-a limiting factor the base vector's UI:N understates. There is no special non-default configuration required, but the amplified-risk path specifically needs the automated recurring-invoice or bulk-messaging features to be in use to reach multiple recipients. Practical limits: attacker must first obtain a valid account, and payoff hinges on social-engineering success rather than automatic technical compromise.

Impact

The supplied CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:N, base 8.1) rates this High, but the C:H/I:H claim appears aggressive for what the description characterizes as HTML injection driving phishing and social-engineering rather than confirmed arbitrary script execution or direct data theft; the technical impact is largely realized through victim interaction, which the vector's UI:N omits. EPSS is low-to-moderate (1.06%, 61st percentile) and the CVE is not on CISA KEV, so there is no evidence of active exploitation; however, publicly available PoC code lowers the barrier to opportunistic abuse. Net: a real but not emergency priority-prioritize patching for internet-facing RISE instances that email invoices to external clients, but treat the 8.1 as likely inflated relative to the injection-only, interaction-dependent real-world impact. Conflict to verify with vendor: the vector states UI:N and C:H/I:H, yet the described impact (phishing, credential theft) inherently depends on recipient interaction and yields indirect rather than direct technical impact.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker who holds any low-privilege RISE account (or a compromised staff/client account) creates an invoice or chat message containing crafted HTML-such as a fake 'update your payment details' login form or spoofed branding linking to a credential-harvesting page. When RISE emails the invoice, renders it as a PDF, or displays it in the client chat module, recipients see attacker-controlled content that appears to originate from the trusted business, and recurring-invoice automation redistributes it to multiple clients. A public proof-of-concept (github.com/ajansha/CVE-2025-60378) demonstrates the injection.

AnalysisAIv1 – Jul 05, 2026

Stored HTML/script injection in RISE Ultimate Project Manager & CRM (vendor fairsketch) lets authenticated low-privilege users embed attacker-controlled markup into invoices and messages that later renders in outbound emails, generated PDFs, and the in-app messaging/chat modules delivered to clients and staff. Because injected content is stored server-side and redistributed-amplified by automated recurring invoices-it functions as a persistent phishing and credential-harvesting vector rather than a memory-corruption bug. Publicly available exploit code exists (GitHub PoC), but there is no public exploit identified as actively used in the wild, and the EPSS probability is modest at 1.06% (61st percentile).

RemediationAI

No vendor-released patch or fixed version is identified at time of analysis, and no vendor advisory URL is provided, so track fairsketch/CodeCanyon release notes for a corrected build and apply it once published. As specific compensating controls: enforce strict server-side sanitization/output encoding on invoice and message fields (allowlist plain text or a minimal safe-HTML subset), which may remove legitimate formatting some users rely on; disable or restrict the automated recurring-invoice and bulk-messaging features that fan out injected content to many recipients, at the cost of manual invoice workflows; and place a WAF or template-level HTML filter in front of the email/PDF generation pipeline, accepting that PDF rendering of rich content may break. Restrict account creation and invoice/message authoring to trusted staff to raise the bar on the required authenticated foothold.

Technical ContextAI · show details

The affected product is fairsketch's RISE, a PHP/CodeIgniter-based commercial project management and CRM suite (CPE cpe:2.3:a:fairsketch:rise_ultimate_project_manager). The root cause is CWE-79 (Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation), meaning user-supplied invoice and message fields are stored without sanitization or output encoding and then interpolated into multiple rendering contexts. The notable characteristic here is multi-sink output: the same tainted data is emitted into HTML emails, server-side PDF generation, and the web chat/messaging UI, so a single injection propagates across several trust boundaries and audiences.

DescriptionCVE.org

Stored HTML injection in RISE Ultimate Project Manager & CRM allows authenticated users to inject arbitrary HTML into invoices and messages. Injected content renders in emails, PDFs, and messaging/chat modules sent to clients or team members, enabling phishing, credential theft, and business email compromise. Automated recurring invoices and messaging amplify the risk by distributing malicious content to multiple recipients.

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

RISE Ultimate Project Manager & CRM contains a stored script injection vulnerability (CVE-2025-60378, CVSS 8.1) allowing authenticated low-privilege users to inject malicious code into invoices and messages that propagate to customers and staff via email and PDF, creating a persistent phishing and credential-harvesting vector. This affects outbound customer communications and brand security.

Business Impact: High
Compensating Controls

No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Interim mitigations: (1) enforce strict input validation and output encoding for all invoice and message fields; (2) revoke low-privilege user editing permissions-restrict to read-only access; (3) implement mandatory approval workflow before any invoice or message reaches external recipients; (4) deploy email gateway rules to block outbound messages containing unencoded JavaScript, form elements, or suspicious iframes; (5) audit user activity logs weekly for exploitation attempts; (6) conduct security awareness training on phishing risks in automated communications.
