Threat metrics

Exploit Maturity: POC

Bold values are the worst case: easiest to exploit or largest impact.

Attack Vector: Network: The vulnerable system is bound to the network stack and the set of possible attackers extends beyond the other options listed below, up to and including the entire Internet. Such a vulnerability is often termed “remotely exploitable” and can be thought of as an attack being exploitable at the protocol level one or more network hops away (e.g., across one or more routers).
Attack Complexity: Low: The attacker must take no measurable action to exploit the vulnerability. The attack requires no target-specific circumvention to exploit the vulnerability. An attacker can expect repeatable success against the vulnerable system.
Attack Requirements: None: The successful attack does not depend on the deployment and execution conditions of the vulnerable system. The attacker can expect to be able to reach the vulnerability and execute the exploit under all or most instances of the vulnerability.
Privileges Required: Low: The attacker requires privileges that provide basic capabilities that are typically limited to settings and resources owned by a single low-privileged user. Alternatively, an attacker with Low privileges has the ability to access only non-sensitive resources.
User Interaction: None: The vulnerable system can be exploited without interaction from any human user, other than the attacker.
Vulnerable system confidentiality: Low: There is some loss of confidentiality. Access to some restricted information is obtained, but the attacker does not have control over what information is obtained, or the amount or kind of loss is limited. The information disclosure does not cause a direct, serious loss to the Vulnerable System.
Vulnerable system integrity: Low: Modification of data is possible, but the attacker does not have control over the consequence of a modification, or the amount of modification is limited. The data modification does not have a direct, serious impact to the Vulnerable System.
Vulnerable system availability: Low: Performance is reduced or there are interruptions in resource availability. Even if repeated exploitation of the vulnerability is possible, the attacker does not have the ability to completely deny service to legitimate users. The resources in the Vulnerable System are either partially available all of the time, or fully available only some of the time, but overall there is no direct, serious consequence to the Vulnerable System.
Subsequent system confidentiality: None: There is no loss of confidentiality within the Subsequent System or all confidentiality impact is constrained to the Vulnerable System.
Subsequent system integrity: None: There is no loss of integrity within the Subsequent System or all integrity impact is constrained to the Vulnerable System.
Subsequent system availability: None: There is no impact to availability within the Subsequent System or all availability impact is constrained to the Vulnerable System.
Exploit Maturity: POC: Based on threat intelligence sources each of the following must apply: · Proof-of-concept is publicly available · No knowledge of reported attempts to exploit this vulnerability · No knowledge of publicly available solutions used to simplify attempts to exploit the vulnerability

Definitions: FIRST CVSS v4.0 specification.

Exploitation evidence

Disclosed: evidence found.
CVE published 8 Sep 2025
Detectable: no evidence on record.
No public nuclei template indexed
Weaponised: no evidence on record.
No public exploit code indexed in Metasploit or Exploit-DB
Exploited in the wildExploited: no evidence on record.
Not in CISA KEV and no source reports exploitation

No attack traffic recorded by OffSeq Mirage sensors

A missing step is not evidence of safety. Sources: cve.org (opens in a new tab), the Metasploit, Exploit-DB and nuclei-templates index as of 2026-10-26.

Disclosed: The CVE record is public on cve.org. Its publication is t = 0.
Detectable: A public nuclei template can find exposed instances, for defenders and attackers alike.
Weaponised: Public exploit code exists in Metasploit or Exploit-DB, or CISA SSVC reports a public proof of concept.
Exploited in the wild: CISA KEV lists it, CISA SSVC rates exploitation active, or a source reports attacks.
Observed by OffSeq Mirage: OffSeq Mirage honeypot sensors recorded attack traffic for this CVE, or found exposed hosts without attack traffic.

Moments are spaced evenly, not to scale; a dashed line marks a gap of six months or more. Deltas count from t = 0. Sources that give only a date (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, or a time of exactly 00:00Z) read “same day” rather than hours. Metasploit modules carry the flaw’s disclosure date, not their release date, and nuclei templates carry no date, so both appear above but not on the timeline.

AI-suggested

European organizations should prioritize applying the official patch identified by commit 3424a338b763115f0269b209e777608e4cd31785 to eliminate the SSRF vulnerability. If immediate patching is not feasible, organizations should implement network-level controls to restrict outbound HTTP/HTTPS requests from the SimStudioAI 'sim' application server, limiting the ability to reach internal or sensitive endpoints. Employing web application firewalls (WAFs) with rules to detect and block SSRF patterns targeting the 'filePath' parameter can provide temporary protection. Additionally, input validation and sanitization should be enhanced to restrict the 'filePath' parameter to only allow legitimate, expected values or file locations. Monitoring and logging outbound requests from the application server can help detect suspicious activity indicative of exploitation attempts. Finally, conducting a thorough review of internal network segmentation and access controls can reduce the potential impact if SSRF is exploited.

Description

A vulnerability was determined in SimStudioAI sim up to 1.0.0. This affects an unknown function of the file apps/sim/app/api/files/parse/route.ts. Executing manipulation of the argument filePath can lead to server-side request forgery. The attack can be executed remotely. The exploit has been publicly disclosed and may be utilized. This patch is called 3424a338b763115f0269b209e777608e4cd31785. Applying a patch is advised to resolve this issue.

Impact

For European organizations using SimStudioAI 'sim' version 1.0.0 or earlier, this SSRF vulnerability poses a moderate risk. Exploitation could allow attackers to access internal network resources that are otherwise protected, potentially exposing sensitive data or internal APIs. This could lead to lateral movement within the network or reconnaissance activities that precede more severe attacks. Given the medium severity, direct disruption or data manipulation is less likely but not impossible if combined with other vulnerabilities. Organizations in sectors with high reliance on AI simulation tools, such as research institutions, engineering firms, or technology companies, may face increased risk. The ability to exploit remotely without authentication increases the threat surface, especially for internet-facing deployments. The impact is heightened if the vulnerable service has access to critical internal systems or sensitive data. However, the lack of known active exploitation reduces immediate risk, though the public disclosure necessitates prompt remediation to prevent future attacks.
