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: High: The successful attack depends on the evasion or circumvention of security-enhancing techniques in place that would otherwise hinder the attack. These include: Evasion of exploit mitigation techniques, for example, circumvention of address space randomization (ASLR) or data execution prevention (DEP) must be performed for the attack to be successful; Obtaining target-specific secrets. The attacker must gather some target-specific secret before the attack can be successful. A secret is any piece of information that cannot be obtained through any amount of reconnaissance. To obtain the secret the attacker must perform additional attacks or break otherwise secure measures (e.g. knowledge of a secret key may be needed to break a crypto channel). This operation must be performed for each attacked target.
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: None: The attacker is unauthorized prior to attack, and therefore does not require any access to settings or files of the vulnerable system to carry out an attack.
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: None: There is no loss of integrity within the Vulnerable System.
Vulnerable system availability: None: There is no impact to availability within 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

Exploitation evidence

Disclosed: evidence found.
CVE published 18 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

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 upgrading the youth-is-as-pale-as-poetry e-learning platform to a patched version once available. In the absence of an official patch, organizations can implement compensating controls such as enforcing short JWT token lifetimes to reduce the window of token misuse and monitoring authentication logs for suspicious token usage patterns. Additionally, integrating multi-factor authentication (MFA) can mitigate risks from token forgery by adding an extra verification layer. Reviewing and hardening the randomness sources used in token generation, if customization is possible, can also reduce vulnerability exposure. Network-level protections such as web application firewalls (WAFs) should be configured to detect and block anomalous JWT token usage. Finally, organizations should conduct regular security assessments and penetration tests focusing on authentication mechanisms to identify and remediate similar weaknesses proactively.

Description

A vulnerability has been found in youth-is-as-pale-as-poetry e-learning 1.0. Impacted is the function encryptSecret of the file e-learning-master\exam-api\src\main\java\com\yf\exam\ability\shiro\jwt\JwtUtils.java of the component JWT Token Handler. The manipulation leads to insufficiently random values. The attack can be initiated remotely. The complexity of an attack is rather high. The exploitability is considered difficult. The exploit has been disclosed to the public and may be used.

Impact

For European organizations using the youth-is-as-pale-as-poetry e-learning platform version 1.0, this vulnerability could undermine the security of user authentication and session management. Attackers exploiting this flaw might impersonate legitimate users or escalate privileges within the e-learning system, potentially accessing sensitive educational data or administrative functions. While the direct impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability is low, the breach of authentication mechanisms can lead to unauthorized access, data leakage, or manipulation of learning records. This is particularly concerning for educational institutions, training providers, and corporate learning environments in Europe that rely on this platform for secure user management. Additionally, compromised tokens could be used as a foothold for further lateral movement within an organization's network if the e-learning system is integrated with other internal services. Given the high attack complexity and lack of known exploits, immediate widespread impact is unlikely, but the public disclosure necessitates prompt mitigation to prevent future attacks.
