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: Low: There is some loss of confidentiality. Access to some restricted information is obtained, but the attacker does not have control over what information is obtained, or the amount or kind of loss is limited. The information disclosure does not cause a direct, serious loss to 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: Low: Performance is reduced or there are interruptions in resource availability. Even if repeated exploitation of the vulnerability is possible, the attacker does not have the ability to completely deny service to legitimate users. The resources in the Vulnerable System are either partially available all of the time, or fully available only some of the time, but overall there is no direct, serious consequence to 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 31 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

Given the lack of an official patch, European organizations should implement immediate mitigations. First, conduct a thorough code review of the vulnerable 'like' function and implement strict input validation and sanitization on the 'keyword' parameter to prevent SQL injection. Employ parameterized queries or prepared statements if possible. Restrict access to the Search API Endpoint by implementing network-level controls such as IP whitelisting or web application firewalls (WAFs) configured to detect and block SQL injection patterns. Monitor logs for suspicious activity targeting the vulnerable endpoint. If feasible, temporarily disable or isolate the Search API Endpoint until a secure patch is available. Regularly back up databases and verify backup integrity to enable recovery in case of compromise. Educate development and security teams about this vulnerability and ensure rapid response capabilities. Engage with the vendor or community for updates and consider migrating to alternative CMS platforms if the vendor remains unresponsive. Finally, apply broader security best practices such as least privilege for database accounts and segmentation to limit potential damage.

Description

A weakness has been identified in Kohana KodiCMS up to 13.82.135. This affects the function like of the file cms/modules/pages/classes/kodicms/model/page.php of the component Search API Endpoint. Executing manipulation of the argument keyword can lead to sql injection. It is possible to launch the attack remotely. The exploit has been made available to the public and could be exploited. The vendor was contacted early about this disclosure but did not respond in any way.

Impact

For European organizations using Kohana KodiCMS version 13.82.135, this vulnerability poses a significant risk to the confidentiality and integrity of their data. Exploitation could allow attackers to extract sensitive information such as user credentials, business data, or intellectual property. Additionally, attackers could modify or delete data, impacting the availability and trustworthiness of affected systems. Public exploit availability increases the likelihood of automated attacks, potentially leading to widespread compromise. Organizations in sectors with high regulatory requirements, such as finance, healthcare, and government, face additional compliance risks if data breaches occur. The absence of a vendor patch means prolonged exposure, increasing the window for attackers. Furthermore, compromised websites could be used to distribute malware or conduct phishing campaigns, amplifying the threat. The impact extends beyond individual organizations to their customers and partners, potentially damaging reputation and incurring financial losses.
