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

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. Restrict access to the CacheCloud management interface and specifically the doQuartzList function to trusted administrators only, using network segmentation and strong access controls. 2. Implement strict input validation and output encoding on all user-supplied data within the affected function to neutralize malicious scripts. 3. Deploy web application firewalls (WAFs) with custom rules to detect and block XSS payloads targeting CacheCloud endpoints. 4. Monitor logs and user activity for unusual patterns or repeated access attempts to the vulnerable function. 5. Educate privileged users about the risks of clicking on untrusted links and the importance of verifying URLs before interaction. 6. Consider temporary disabling or limiting the use of the affected functionality if feasible until an official patch is released. 7. Engage with the vendor or community to track patch releases or official mitigations. 8. Conduct regular security assessments and penetration tests focusing on web interface vulnerabilities in CacheCloud deployments.

Description

A vulnerability was determined in SohuTV CacheCloud up to 3.2.0. Affected is the function doQuartzList of the file src/main/java/com/sohu/cache/web/controller/QuartzManageController.java. Executing manipulation can lead to cross site scripting. It is possible to launch the attack remotely. The exploit has been publicly disclosed and may be utilized. The project was informed of the problem early through an issue report but has not responded yet.

Impact

For European organizations, the primary impact of CVE-2025-15204 lies in the potential compromise of user sessions and the integrity of web interactions within CacheCloud management interfaces. Organizations relying on CacheCloud for caching and task scheduling in media or content delivery environments may face risks of targeted XSS attacks that could lead to credential theft, session hijacking, or social engineering attacks against privileged users. Although the vulnerability does not directly affect data confidentiality or system availability, successful exploitation could enable attackers to perform unauthorized actions under the guise of legitimate users, potentially leading to further compromise. The requirement for high privileges and user interaction limits the attack surface but does not eliminate risk, especially in environments with multiple administrators or operators. The lack of vendor response and patch availability increases exposure time, necessitating proactive defensive measures. Additionally, organizations in regulated sectors must consider compliance implications related to the exploitation of such vulnerabilities.

Summary

CVE-2025-15204 is a cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability identified in SohuTV CacheCloud versions 3.0 through 3.2.0. The flaw exists in the doQuartzList function within the QuartzManageController.java source file, which is part of the web controller handling scheduled tasks. The vulnerability arises due to insufficient sanitization of user-supplied input that is reflected in the web interface, allowing an attacker to inject malicious JavaScript code. Exploitation requires the attacker to have high privileges (PR:H) but does not require authentication (AT:N) or confidentiality impact (VC:N). User interaction (UI:P) is necessary, meaning a victim must trigger the malicious payload, typically by visiting a crafted URL or interface. The vulnerability is remotely exploitable over the network (AV:N) with low attack complexity (AC:L). While no known exploits are currently active in the wild, the public disclosure and lack of remediation elevate the threat level. The vulnerability primarily threatens the integrity of user sessions and could facilitate phishing or session hijacking attacks within the affected environment. The CVSS 4.8 score reflects a medium severity rating, balancing the ease of exploitation with limited impact on confidentiality and availability.
