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 23 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

1. Immediately implement input validation and sanitization on the 'email' parameter in /admin/reset-password.php to prevent SQL injection. 2. Refactor the code to use parameterized queries or prepared statements for all database interactions involving user input. 3. Restrict access to the reset-password functionality by limiting it to trusted IP addresses or requiring authentication where feasible. 4. Monitor web server and application logs for suspicious activity targeting the reset-password endpoint. 5. If possible, upgrade to a patched version of the CMS once available or apply vendor-provided patches promptly. 6. Employ Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) with SQL injection detection rules to provide an additional layer of defense. 7. Conduct a thorough security audit of the CMS installation to identify and remediate any other potential vulnerabilities. 8. Educate administrators about the risks of exposing admin interfaces publicly and encourage best practices for secure deployment. 9. Backup the CMS database regularly to enable recovery in case of compromise. 10. Consider migrating to more secure and actively maintained CMS platforms if feasible.

Description

A vulnerability was found in SourceCodester Company Website CMS 1.0. This affects an unknown part of the file /admin/reset-password.php. The manipulation of the argument email results in sql injection. The attack may be launched remotely. The exploit has been made public and could be used.

Impact

For European organizations using SourceCodester Company Website CMS 1.0, this vulnerability poses a significant risk to the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of their website data. Exploitation could lead to unauthorized disclosure of sensitive information such as user credentials, company data, or customer information. Data integrity could be compromised if attackers modify or delete database records, potentially disrupting business operations or damaging reputation. Availability could also be impacted if attackers execute destructive queries or cause database errors. Given the remote and unauthenticated nature of the exploit, any publicly accessible admin reset-password endpoint increases exposure. SMEs and companies relying on this CMS for their online presence are particularly vulnerable, as they may lack dedicated security resources. The public release of exploit code raises the likelihood of opportunistic attacks, increasing the urgency for mitigation. Additionally, compromised websites could be used as a foothold for further attacks or to distribute malware, amplifying the threat impact.
