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: 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: 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

Exploitation evidence

Disclosed: evidence found.
CVE published 26 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 2026-10-25.

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.

What to do

AI-suggested

1. Immediate network-level restrictions should be applied to limit access to the /admin/all-applied-leave.php endpoint, ideally restricting it to trusted internal IP addresses or VPN users only. 2. Implement strict web application firewall (WAF) rules to detect and block unauthorized access attempts targeting the vulnerable endpoint. 3. Conduct thorough access control reviews and harden authorization mechanisms within the Employee Management System, ensuring role-based access controls are correctly enforced. 4. Monitor logs for anomalous access patterns or repeated unauthorized requests to the affected URL. 5. Engage with the vendor or community to obtain patches or updates as soon as they become available, despite the rolling release model. 6. If patching is delayed, consider deploying application-layer proxies or reverse proxies that can enforce additional authentication or authorization checks. 7. Educate HR and IT staff about the vulnerability and encourage vigilance for suspicious activity related to employee leave data. 8. Regularly audit employee leave records for unauthorized changes to detect potential exploitation early.

Description

A vulnerability was detected in Tutorials-Website Employee Management System up to 611887d8f8375271ce8abc704507d46340837a60. Impacted is an unknown function of the file /admin/all-applied-leave.php of the component HTTP Request Handler. The manipulation results in improper authorization. The attack may be performed from remote. The exploit is now public and may be used. This product utilizes a rolling release system for continuous delivery, and as such, version information for affected or updated releases is not disclosed.

Impact

For European organizations, this vulnerability poses a tangible risk to the confidentiality and integrity of employee data managed within the affected system. Unauthorized access to leave records could lead to privacy violations under GDPR, resulting in regulatory fines and reputational damage. Additionally, manipulation of leave data could disrupt workforce management, impacting operational continuity. Organizations relying on the Tutorials-Website Employee Management System for HR functions may face increased exposure to insider threats or external attackers exploiting this flaw as a foothold for lateral movement. The remote exploitability without authentication heightens the urgency for mitigation, especially in environments where the system is accessible from external networks or insufficiently segmented. The continuous delivery model of the product may delay timely patching, necessitating compensating controls. Overall, the vulnerability could undermine trust in HR data integrity and compliance, with potential cascading effects on organizational security posture.
