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: High: There is a total loss of confidentiality, resulting in all information within the Vulnerable System being divulged to the attacker. Alternatively, access to only some restricted information is obtained, but the disclosed information presents a direct, serious impact. For example, an attacker steals the administrator's password, or private encryption keys of a web server.
Vulnerable system integrity: None: There is no loss of integrity within 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.

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.

Description

CVE-2025-15235 is a high-severity missing authorization vulnerability in the QOCA aim AI Medical Cloud Platform by Quanta Computer. Authenticated remote attackers can exploit this flaw to modify network packet parameters, enabling unauthorized access to other users' files. The vulnerability does not require user interaction and has low attack complexity, making exploitation feasible for any authenticated user. This flaw impacts confidentiality significantly, as sensitive medical data could be exposed or manipulated. No patches are currently available, and no known exploits have been reported in the wild. European healthcare organizations using this platform are at risk, especially in countries with higher adoption of Quanta Computer’s medical cloud solutions. Mitigation requires strict access control reviews, network segmentation, and enhanced monitoring of user activities to detect anomalous packet modifications. Given the critical nature of medical data, the vulnerability poses a substantial threat to patient privacy and regulatory compliance in Europe.

Impact

For European organizations, particularly those in the healthcare sector, this vulnerability poses a significant risk to patient data confidentiality and compliance with stringent data protection laws like GDPR. Unauthorized access to medical files could lead to data breaches, loss of patient trust, and potential legal penalties. The ability for authenticated users to access other users' files undermines the platform’s security model and could facilitate insider threats or lateral movement by attackers who gain initial access. This could disrupt healthcare operations and compromise sensitive AI-driven medical analyses. The impact extends beyond data loss to reputational damage and potential financial consequences from regulatory fines. Given the critical nature of medical data, even a single breach could have severe consequences for affected individuals and institutions. European healthcare providers relying on QOCA aim AI Medical Cloud Platform must consider this vulnerability a high priority for remediation and risk management.

Summary

CVE-2025-15235 identifies a missing authorization vulnerability (CWE-862) in the QOCA aim AI Medical Cloud Platform developed by Quanta Computer. The flaw allows authenticated remote attackers to manipulate specific network packet parameters, which in turn enables certain system functions to bypass intended access controls and access files belonging to other users. This vulnerability arises from insufficient enforcement of authorization checks on sensitive operations within the platform. The CVSS 4.0 score of 7.1 reflects a high severity due to network attack vector, low complexity, no required user interaction, and the ability to compromise confidentiality with high impact. The vulnerability affects version 0 of the product, with no patches currently available. The platform is used in medical environments, where data confidentiality and integrity are paramount. Exploitation could lead to unauthorized disclosure of protected health information (PHI), violating data protection regulations such as GDPR. The absence of known exploits in the wild suggests the vulnerability is newly disclosed, but the ease of exploitation and sensitive context make it a critical concern. The vulnerability does not affect availability or integrity directly but compromises confidentiality by allowing unauthorized file access. The lack of authentication bypass means attackers must have valid credentials, but once authenticated, they can escalate privileges through this flaw. This vulnerability highlights the importance of robust authorization mechanisms in cloud-based medical platforms.
