Summary

CVE-2025-3841 is a medium-severity Incomplete Filtering of Special Elements (CWE-791) vulnerability in Wix Jam. Its CVSS base score is 4.8 (Medium).

Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Template Injection (T1221); ranked at the 34th percentile by exploit likelihood (below the median); it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog; a public proof-of-concept is referenced.

The strongest mitigations our analysis identified map to SA-11 (Developer Testing and Evaluation) and SI-10 (Information Input Validation) — see the control section below for these in your framework.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

Developer testing and static analysis can discover missing neutralization of template directives.

Input validation directly requires complete filtering of special elements on received data before further processing or forwarding.

Least privilege limits the damage an injected code fragment can perform once executed.

Requiring documented secure development standards and tools enforces use of safe code-generation APIs and escaping.

Security engineering principles require use of safe templating APIs and proper escaping of external input.

PR.PS-06 mostly match
prevents

Secure SDLC practices directly require complete input filtering and sanitization to prevent this weakness.

PR.DS-10 none match
prevents

PR.DS-10 protects runtime data confidentiality/integrity but has no bearing on neutralizing externally influenced input during code generation, so neither direction shows any preventive effect.

finds

Security testing in development and acceptance can detect incomplete filtering but does not itself implement the filtering.

prevents

Secure development life cycle processes include validation activities that reduce the likelihood of CWE-791 but do not specify the control itself.

prevents

Application security requirements explicitly call for input validation and sanitization that directly mitigates incomplete special-element filtering.

prevents

Secure system architecture and engineering principles require defensive design patterns that prevent unfiltered data from reaching downstream components.

prevents

Secure coding standards mandate complete filtering and escaping of special elements, directly eliminating CWE-791.

none

Controls that restrict unauthorized or malicious code from being introduced via external networks or removable media limit opportunities for an attacker to inject and execute arbitrary code.
