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

A missing step is not evidence of safety. Sources: cve.org (opens in a new tab), CVSS vector, the Metasploit, Exploit-DB and nuclei-templates index as of 26 Oct 2026.

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 or the CVSS exploit maturity 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

To mitigate CVE-2025-11554, organizations should first verify if they are running affected versions of Portabilis i-Educar (2.9.0 through 2.9.10) and plan immediate upgrades to patched versions once available. In the absence of official patches, administrators should audit and tighten permission inheritance configurations within the User Type Handler component, ensuring that permissions are explicitly defined and not overly permissive. Implement strict role-based access controls (RBAC) and review all user roles for excessive privileges. Network-level protections such as web application firewalls (WAFs) can be configured to detect and block suspicious requests targeting the AccessLevelController.php endpoint. Monitoring and logging access control changes and unusual user activities can help detect exploitation attempts early. Restrict remote access to the application to trusted IP ranges or VPNs where feasible. Conduct regular security assessments and penetration tests focused on access control mechanisms. Educate administrators about the risks of permission misconfigurations and enforce the principle of least privilege. Finally, maintain up-to-date backups to recover quickly if an incident occurs.

Description

A security vulnerability has been detected in Portabilis i-Educar up to 2.9.10. Affected by this issue is some unknown functionality of the file app/Http/Controllers/AccessLevelController.php of the component User Type Handler. The manipulation leads to insecure inherited permissions. The attack may be initiated remotely. The exploit has been disclosed publicly and may be used. Upgrading to version 2.12 can resolve this issue. The identifier of the patch is d53365e5656f6499a4deddf89d522814655f769d. It is advisable to upgrade the affected component.

Impact

The impact of CVE-2025-11554 on organizations using Portabilis i-Educar can be significant, particularly in educational environments where the software is commonly deployed. Exploitation of insecure inherited permissions can lead to unauthorized access to sensitive student, staff, or administrative data, violating confidentiality requirements. Attackers could escalate privileges, potentially gaining administrative rights or access to restricted functions, thereby compromising data integrity and availability. This could disrupt educational operations, lead to data breaches, and damage institutional reputation. Since the vulnerability can be exploited remotely without authentication or user interaction, the risk of automated or widespread attacks is elevated. Organizations with weak internal network segmentation or insufficient monitoring may face increased exposure. Additionally, compliance with data protection regulations could be jeopardized if sensitive information is accessed or altered. The medium CVSS score reflects moderate but non-trivial risk, emphasizing the need for timely remediation to prevent exploitation.
