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

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
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

1. Immediate Restriction of Access: Limit access to the /admin/user/index.php interface to trusted IP addresses using network-level controls such as firewalls or VPNs. 2. Input Validation and Parameterization: Implement strict input validation and use prepared statements or parameterized queries in the codebase to prevent SQL injection. 3. Web Application Firewall (WAF): Deploy a WAF with custom rules to detect and block SQL injection attempts targeting the vulnerable parameter. 4. Monitoring and Logging: Enable detailed logging of administrative interface access and monitor for unusual query patterns or repeated failed attempts that may indicate exploitation attempts. 5. Upgrade or Replace: Evaluate the possibility of upgrading to a newer, patched version of the software or migrating to alternative job portal solutions with active security support. 6. Network Segmentation: Isolate the job portal system within a secure network segment to reduce exposure. 7. Incident Response Preparedness: Prepare incident response plans specific to SQL injection attacks, including data backup and recovery procedures. 8. User Privilege Review: Audit and minimize administrative privileges to reduce potential impact if exploitation occurs.

Description

A vulnerability has been found in itsourcecode Open Source Job Portal 1.0. Affected by this issue is some unknown functionality of the file /admin/user/index.php?view=edit. The manipulation of the argument ID leads to sql injection. The attack is possible to be carried out remotely. The exploit has been disclosed to the public and may be used.

Impact

For European organizations using the itsourcecode Open Source Job Portal 1.0, this vulnerability poses a significant risk to the confidentiality and integrity of their recruitment and personnel data. Exploitation could lead to unauthorized disclosure of sensitive applicant or employee information, manipulation of user accounts, or disruption of recruitment operations. Given that the vulnerability affects administrative functions, attackers could escalate their privileges or pivot to other internal systems. This could result in reputational damage, legal consequences under GDPR due to data breaches, and operational downtime. Organizations in sectors with high recruitment volumes or sensitive hiring processes, such as government agencies, financial institutions, and large enterprises, are particularly at risk. Additionally, since the exploit requires no user interaction and can be performed remotely, the attack surface is broad, especially if the administrative interface is exposed or insufficiently protected. The absence of known exploits in the wild currently reduces immediate risk, but the public disclosure increases the likelihood of future exploitation attempts. Therefore, European organizations must prioritize assessment and remediation to prevent potential breaches.
