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 29 Dec 2025
Detectable: no evidence on record.
No public nuclei template indexed

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 restrict access to the vulnerable endpoints (getExceptionStatisticsByClient, getCommandStatisticsByClient, doIndex) by implementing network-level controls such as IP whitelisting or VPN-only access. 2. Implement strict input validation and output encoding on all user-supplied data processed by CacheCloud, especially in the affected controller functions, to prevent script injection. 3. Deploy web application firewalls (WAFs) with custom rules to detect and block XSS payloads targeting CacheCloud endpoints. 4. Monitor web server and application logs for unusual requests or patterns indicative of XSS exploitation attempts. 5. Educate users and administrators about the risk of clicking suspicious links related to CacheCloud interfaces. 6. If feasible, isolate CacheCloud management interfaces from public networks and restrict access to trusted personnel only. 7. Track vendor communications for any forthcoming patches and plan for timely updates once available. 8. Consider deploying Content Security Policy (CSP) headers to reduce the impact of potential XSS attacks by restricting script execution sources.

Description

A vulnerability was detected in SohuTV CacheCloud up to 3.2.0. The affected element is the function getExceptionStatisticsByClient/getCommandStatisticsByClient/doIndex of the file src/main/java/com/sohu/cache/web/controller/AppClientDataShowController.java. The manipulation results in cross site scripting. The attack can be executed remotely. The exploit is now public 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, this vulnerability could lead to client-side attacks such as session hijacking, credential theft, or unauthorized actions performed within the context of a user's session. Organizations that expose CacheCloud's client statistics interfaces on public or semi-public networks are at higher risk. The impact on confidentiality and integrity is limited but non-negligible, as attackers can execute scripts in users' browsers, potentially leading to data leakage or account compromise. Availability impact is minimal. Given the lack of vendor response and public exploit availability, attackers may target vulnerable systems opportunistically. This risk is heightened in sectors with high reliance on caching infrastructure for performance, such as e-commerce, finance, and media. Additionally, organizations with less mature security controls or limited monitoring may be more vulnerable to exploitation and subsequent lateral movement or data exfiltration attempts.

Summary

CVE-2025-15200 is a cross-site scripting vulnerability identified in SohuTV CacheCloud versions 3.0 through 3.2.0. The vulnerability resides in the AppClientDataShowController.java file, specifically within the functions getExceptionStatisticsByClient, getCommandStatisticsByClient, and doIndex. These functions handle client-side statistics data but fail to properly sanitize or encode user-supplied input before reflecting it in web responses. As a result, an attacker can craft malicious input that, when processed by these functions, leads to the injection and execution of arbitrary JavaScript code in the context of the victim's browser. The attack vector is remote and does not require authentication, but user interaction is necessary, such as clicking a malicious link or visiting a compromised page. The CVSS 4.0 score of 4.8 reflects a medium severity, considering the ease of exploitation (low complexity), no privileges required, but requiring user interaction and limited impact on confidentiality and integrity. The vulnerability could enable attackers to steal session tokens, perform actions on behalf of users, or deliver further malware. Despite early notification, the vendor has not released a patch, and a public exploit is available, increasing the risk of exploitation. The vulnerability affects organizations using CacheCloud for caching or data management, particularly those exposing client statistics interfaces to users or administrators.
