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: 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 16 Nov 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

Organizations should immediately audit their use of the code-projects Student Information System and identify any deployments of version 2.0. Until an official patch is released, implement strict input validation and output encoding on all user inputs, especially those handled by /editprofile.php, to neutralize malicious scripts. Deploy web application firewalls (WAFs) with rules specifically targeting XSS attack patterns to provide an additional layer of defense. Educate users about the risks of clicking suspicious links and encourage cautious behavior to reduce successful exploitation via social engineering. Monitor web server logs and application behavior for signs of attempted XSS attacks or unusual activity. Coordinate with the vendor to obtain timely patches and apply them as soon as they become available. Consider isolating or restricting access to the vulnerable system to trusted networks only, reducing exposure to external attackers. Regularly review and update security policies related to web application security and incident response.

Description

A vulnerability was identified in code-projects Student Information System 2.0. The impacted element is an unknown function of the file /editprofile.php. Such manipulation leads to cross site scripting. It is possible to launch the attack remotely. The exploit is publicly available and might be used.

Impact

For European organizations, especially educational institutions using the code-projects Student Information System 2.0, this vulnerability poses risks including unauthorized access to student data, session hijacking, and potential manipulation of user profiles. Such impacts can lead to breaches of personal data protected under GDPR, resulting in legal and financial consequences. The integrity of student records and profiles could be compromised, undermining trust in institutional IT systems. Additionally, successful exploitation might facilitate further attacks within the network if attackers leverage stolen credentials or session tokens. The medium severity rating reflects moderate impact potential, but the ease of remote exploitation without authentication increases urgency. Disruption to educational services and reputational damage are also possible, particularly if attackers deface portals or leak sensitive information. The vulnerability’s presence in a widely used student information system amplifies the potential scale of impact across multiple European countries.
