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.

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
Observed by OffSeq MirageSeen by Mirage: no evidence on record.
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 2026-10-25.

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 immediately inventory their environments to identify any deployments of SimStudioAI sim version 1.0.0 or earlier. Until an official patch is released, organizations should implement strict network-level controls to restrict access to the vulnerable API endpoint, such as IP whitelisting, VPN-only access, or firewall rules limiting inbound traffic. Application-layer protections like Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) should be configured to detect and block suspicious payloads targeting the 'code' parameter. Code review and static analysis of the affected component can help identify unsafe input handling practices, and temporary code-level mitigations such as input validation, sanitization, or disabling the vulnerable functionality may be considered. Monitoring and logging should be enhanced to detect anomalous API requests or unexpected code execution patterns. Organizations should also engage with SimStudioAI for timely patch updates and apply them promptly once available. Finally, conducting penetration testing focused on this vulnerability can help validate the effectiveness of mitigations.

Description

A vulnerability was identified in SimStudioAI sim up to 1.0.0. This impacts an unknown function of the file apps/sim/app/api/function/execute/route.ts. The manipulation of the argument code leads to code injection. The attack is possible to be carried out remotely.

Impact

For European organizations using SimStudioAI sim version 1.0.0 or earlier, this vulnerability could lead to unauthorized remote code execution on servers running the affected software. This could compromise the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of sensitive simulation data and AI models, which may be critical for research, development, or operational decision-making. Organizations in sectors such as engineering, manufacturing, automotive, aerospace, and academic research that rely on simulation tools could face operational disruptions or intellectual property theft. The medium severity rating suggests that while the impact is not catastrophic, exploitation could still enable attackers to pivot within the network or exfiltrate sensitive information. Given the remote exploitability and lack of user interaction, attackers could automate attacks at scale, increasing risk. The absence of known exploits in the wild currently reduces immediate risk but also means organizations should proactively address the vulnerability before it is weaponized. Additionally, compliance with European data protection regulations (e.g., GDPR) may be impacted if personal or sensitive data processed by the application is exposed or altered.
