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: None: The attacker is unauthorized prior to attack, and therefore does not require any access to settings or files of the vulnerable system to carry out an attack.
User Interaction: Active: Successful exploitation of this vulnerability requires a targeted user to perform specific, conscious interactions with the vulnerable system and the attacker’s payload, or the user’s interactions would actively subvert protection mechanisms which would lead to exploitation of the vulnerability.
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: 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.

Exploitation evidence

Disclosed: evidence found.
CVE published 2 Oct 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

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 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 CORS policies by explicitly specifying trusted origins rather than using wildcard or overly permissive settings. 2. Disable Access-Control-Allow-Credentials unless absolutely necessary, and if enabled, ensure only trusted origins are allowed. 3. Conduct a thorough audit of all CORS configurations in Hiberus Sintra deployments to identify and remediate permissive settings. 4. Employ Content Security Policy (CSP) headers to restrict the domains that can interact with the application. 5. Educate users about phishing risks to reduce the likelihood of user interaction exploitation. 6. Monitor network traffic and application logs for unusual cross-origin requests or suspicious activity. 7. Engage with Hiberus for updates or patches and apply them promptly once available. 8. Consider implementing Web Application Firewalls (WAF) with rules to detect and block suspicious CORS requests. 9. Use security testing tools to verify that CORS policies are correctly enforced post-mitigation.

Description

Incorrect Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS) configuration in Hiberus Sintra. Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS) allows browsers to make cross-domain requests in a controlled manner. This request has an “Origin” header that identifies the domain making the initial request and defines the protocol between a browser and a server to see if the request is allowed. An attacker can exploit this and potentially perform privileged actions and access confidential information when Access-Control-Allow-Credentials is enabled.

Impact

For European organizations using Hiberus Sintra, this vulnerability could lead to unauthorized access to sensitive data or unintended privileged actions performed via cross-origin requests. The risk is particularly relevant for web applications handling confidential or personal data, including those subject to GDPR regulations. Exploitation could result in data leakage, session hijacking, or unauthorized transactions, undermining data confidentiality and integrity. While availability impact is not indicated, reputational damage and regulatory penalties could be significant if sensitive data is exposed. The requirement for user interaction means phishing or social engineering attacks could be used to lure users into visiting malicious sites that exploit this vulnerability. Organizations in sectors such as finance, healthcare, and government, which often use web applications with sensitive data, could face higher risks. The lack of patches necessitates immediate mitigation to prevent exploitation.

Variant weaknessOWASP Top 10 A02:2025: Security Misconfiguration (opens in a new tab)
The product uses a web-client protection mechanism such as a Content Security Policy (CSP) or cross-domain policy file, but the policy includes untrusted domains with which the web client is allowed to communicate.
Architecture and Design · Operation · Attack Surface Reduction
Define a restrictive Content Security Policy or cross-domain policy file.
Architecture and Design · Operation · Attack Surface Reduction
Avoid using wildcards in the CSP / cross-domain policy file. Any domain matching the wildcard expression will be implicitly trusted, and can perform two-way interaction with the target server.
Architecture and Design · Operation · Environment Hardening
For Flash, modify crossdomain.xml to use meta-policy options such as 'master-only' or 'none' to reduce the possibility of an attacker planting extraneous cross-domain policy files on a server.
