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: Passive: Successful exploitation of this vulnerability requires limited interaction by the targeted user with the vulnerable system and the attacker’s payload. These interactions would be considered involuntary and do not require that the user actively subvert protections built into the vulnerable system.
Vulnerable system confidentiality: None: There is no loss of confidentiality within 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: 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 5 Oct 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 2026-10-26.

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.

What to do

AI-suggested

1. Implement strict input validation and output encoding on the 'trid' parameter in /map.php to neutralize malicious scripts. 2. Deploy a Web Application Firewall (WAF) with custom rules to detect and block XSS payloads targeting the 'trid' parameter. 3. Employ Content Security Policy (CSP) headers to restrict script execution sources and mitigate impact of injected scripts. 4. Conduct user awareness training to recognize suspicious links and avoid clicking untrusted URLs. 5. Monitor web server logs for unusual requests containing suspicious 'trid' parameter values indicative of exploitation attempts. 6. If feasible, isolate or sandbox the affected web application to limit potential damage. 7. Engage with the vendor or community to track any forthcoming patches or updates. 8. Consider alternative mapping solutions if mitigation is not possible or vendor support remains absent. 9. Regularly update all related software components and dependencies to reduce attack surface. 10. Test mitigations in a staging environment before deployment to ensure no disruption to legitimate functionality.

Description

A security flaw has been discovered in ixmaps website2017 up to 0c71cffa0162186bc057a76766bc97e9f5a3a2d0. This impacts an unknown function of the file /map.php of the component HTTP GET Request Handler. Performing manipulation of the argument trid results in cross site scripting. The attack can be initiated remotely. The exploit has been released to the public and may be exploited. Continious delivery with rolling releases is used by this product. Therefore, no version details of affected nor updated releases are available. The vendor was contacted early about this disclosure but did not respond in any way.

Impact

For European organizations, this XSS vulnerability poses risks primarily to confidentiality and integrity of user sessions and data. Exploitation can lead to session hijacking, unauthorized actions, phishing, and malware distribution. Organizations relying on ixmaps website2017 for geospatial or mapping services may experience reputational damage and loss of user trust if exploited. The vulnerability's remote exploitability without authentication broadens the attack surface, especially for public-facing web applications. Given the vendor's lack of response, organizations must assume prolonged exposure. Potential impacts include data leakage, unauthorized access to sensitive information, and disruption of service trustworthiness. Sectors such as government, transportation, urban planning, and research institutions using ixmaps in Europe are particularly vulnerable. The medium severity rating suggests moderate but non-trivial risk, warranting prompt mitigation to prevent exploitation and downstream impacts.
