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: High: The attacker requires privileges that provide significant (e.g., administrative) control over the vulnerable system allowing full access to the vulnerable system’s settings and files.
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

CVE published 28 Dec 2025
Detectable: no evidence on record.
No public nuclei template indexed

Exploited in the wildExploited: no evidence on record.
Not in CISA KEV and no source reports exploitation

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 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 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. Implement strict input validation and output encoding on all user-supplied data processed by the doTotalList function or related endpoints to prevent script injection. 2. Deploy Content Security Policy (CSP) headers to restrict the execution of unauthorized scripts in browsers. 3. Restrict access to the vulnerable endpoints using network-level controls such as IP whitelisting or VPNs to limit exposure. 4. Monitor web application logs and user activity for unusual patterns indicative of XSS exploitation attempts. 5. Educate users about the risks of interacting with suspicious links or content that could trigger XSS attacks. 6. Consider deploying web application firewalls (WAFs) with rules specifically targeting XSS payloads. 7. Engage with the vendor or community to track patch releases or updates and plan for timely application once available. 8. If feasible, evaluate alternative caching solutions that do not exhibit this vulnerability. 9. Conduct regular security assessments and penetration testing focusing on web application vulnerabilities including XSS. 10. Ensure that session management uses secure, HttpOnly, and SameSite cookies to reduce the impact of potential script injection.

Description

A security vulnerability has been detected in SohuTV CacheCloud up to 3.2.0. This affects the function doTotalList of the file src/main/java/com/sohu/cache/web/controller/TotalManageController.java. Such manipulation leads to cross site scripting. The attack can be launched remotely. The exploit has been disclosed publicly and may be used. The project was informed of the problem early through an issue report but has not responded yet.

Impact

For European organizations, exploitation of this XSS vulnerability could lead to compromised user sessions, unauthorized actions performed on behalf of users, and potential defacement or phishing attacks via injected scripts. This can erode user trust, cause reputational damage, and potentially expose sensitive user data if session tokens or credentials are stolen. While the vulnerability does not directly compromise system availability or confidentiality, the integrity of web interactions is at risk. Organizations relying on CacheCloud for caching or distributed system management may see indirect impacts if attackers leverage this vulnerability as an initial foothold for further attacks. The absence of a patch means organizations must rely on compensating controls to mitigate risk. The medium severity suggests that while the threat is not critical, it is significant enough to warrant prompt attention, especially in sectors with high regulatory requirements such as finance, healthcare, and critical infrastructure within Europe.

Summary

CVE-2025-15145 is a cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability identified in SohuTV CacheCloud versions 3.0 through 3.2.0. The vulnerability resides in the doTotalList function within the TotalManageController.java source file. This function fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input, allowing an attacker to inject malicious JavaScript code that executes in the context of the victim’s browser. The attack vector is remote, requiring no prior authentication, but user interaction is necessary to trigger the malicious script. The CVSS 4.8 score reflects a medium severity, with the vector indicating network attack vector, low attack complexity, no privileges required, but user interaction needed. The impact primarily affects integrity by enabling script injection, potentially leading to session hijacking, defacement, or redirection to malicious sites. Confidentiality and availability impacts are minimal or none. No known exploits are currently active in the wild, but public disclosure increases the risk of exploitation. The lack of vendor response and patch availability heightens the urgency for users to implement mitigations or consider alternative solutions.
