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: 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 11 Dec 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

European organizations using code-projects Rental Management System 2.0 should immediately conduct a thorough inventory to identify affected instances. In the absence of official patches, implement strict input validation and sanitization on all user inputs that interact with logging mechanisms, ensuring CR and LF characters are filtered or encoded. Review and harden logging frameworks to reject or safely handle suspicious input. Employ web application firewalls (WAFs) with custom rules to detect and block CRLF injection patterns. Monitor logs for anomalies indicative of injection attempts or log poisoning. Restrict network access to the management interfaces to trusted IP ranges and enforce least privilege principles for system accounts. Engage with the vendor for patch timelines and consider upgrading to newer versions if available. Conduct security awareness training for developers and administrators about injection risks. Implement robust incident detection and response plans to quickly identify and mitigate exploitation attempts. Finally, consider deploying runtime application self-protection (RASP) solutions to detect and block injection attacks in real time.

Description

A vulnerability was found in code-projects Rental Management System 2.0. This affects an unknown function of the file Transaction.java of the component Log Handler. Performing manipulation results in crlf injection. The attack can be initiated remotely. The exploit has been made public and could be used.

Impact

For European organizations, the impact of CVE-2025-14531 can be significant in sectors relying on rental management systems, such as real estate, vehicle rentals, and equipment leasing. The vulnerability could allow attackers to manipulate log files, which are critical for auditing and forensic investigations, thereby undermining incident response capabilities and compliance with regulations like GDPR. HTTP response splitting could lead to web cache poisoning or cross-site scripting, potentially exposing sensitive customer data or enabling session hijacking. This can damage organizational reputation and lead to regulatory penalties. The remote exploitability without user interaction increases the risk of automated attacks targeting vulnerable systems. Disruption of rental management operations could affect business continuity, especially for companies with large portfolios or high transaction volumes. The absence of patches means organizations must rely on compensating controls, increasing operational overhead. Overall, the vulnerability threatens confidentiality, integrity, and availability of affected systems and data within European organizations.
