CVE-2025-8116Network attack vector

Browser script execution via reflected print input

Published Sep 30, 2025 · Updated Sep 30, 2025

Reflected XSS in PAD CMS 1.2.1 and earlier allows remote attackers to execute JavaScript in a victim's browser via a crafted URL. The printing and save-to-PDF functionality returns attacker-controlled URL input in generated web content without neutralizing it. Exploitation requires a victim to open the crafted URL and affects the www, bip, and www+bip templates, enabling script actions in that browser session.
