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.

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 2026-10-26.

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. Upgrade BOLD Workplanner to version 2.5.25 or later as soon as the patch becomes available from GLOBAL PLANNING SOLUTIONS S.L. 2. Until patching is possible, implement strict access controls and role-based permissions to limit authenticated user access to contract details only to authorized personnel. 3. Conduct thorough audits of user permissions and monitor access logs for unusual or unauthorized attempts to access contract data. 4. Employ input validation and parameter filtering at the application or proxy level to detect and block suspicious manipulation of internal identifiers. 5. Educate users about the risks of credential compromise and enforce strong authentication mechanisms, such as multi-factor authentication, to reduce the risk of unauthorized access. 6. Coordinate with GPS support or vendor channels to obtain official patches or workarounds and stay informed about any emerging exploit reports. 7. Review and enhance contract data classification and handling policies to minimize exposure of sensitive information within the system.

Description

CVE-2025-41096 is a high-severity Insecure Direct Object Reference (IDOR) vulnerability in GLOBAL PLANNING SOLUTIONS S. L's BOLD Workplanner versions prior to 2.5.25. It allows an authenticated user to bypass authorization controls by manipulating user-controlled keys to access unauthorized contract date details. Exploitation requires no user interaction and no elevated privileges beyond authentication. The vulnerability impacts confidentiality by exposing sensitive contract information. No known exploits are currently reported in the wild. European organizations using affected BOLD Workplanner versions should prioritize patching or apply strict access controls to mitigate risk. Countries with significant adoption of GPS BOLD Workplanner, especially those with critical contract management needs, are at higher risk.

Impact

For European organizations, the primary impact of CVE-2025-41096 is the unauthorized disclosure of sensitive contract date information managed within BOLD Workplanner. This can lead to breaches of confidentiality, potentially exposing business-critical scheduling and contractual timelines to unauthorized internal users. Such exposure could undermine competitive advantages, violate data protection regulations like GDPR if personal data is involved, and damage trust with clients or partners. Since the vulnerability requires only authenticated access, insider threats or compromised user credentials could be leveraged to exploit this flaw. The lack of impact on integrity and availability limits the threat to data leakage rather than system disruption or data manipulation. However, the sensitive nature of contract details means that even confidentiality breaches can have significant operational and legal consequences. Organizations relying on BOLD Workplanner for contract management should assess their exposure and prioritize remediation to avoid compliance issues and reputational damage.

Base weaknessLikelihood of exploit: HighCWE Top 25 (2025): #24OWASP Top 10 A01:2025: Broken Access Control (opens in a new tab)
The system's authorization functionality does not prevent one user from gaining access to another user's data or record by modifying the key value identifying the data.
Architecture and Design
For each and every data access, ensure that the user has sufficient privilege to access the record that is being requested.
Architecture and Design · Implementation
Make sure that the key that is used in the lookup of a specific user's record is not controllable externally by the user or that any tampering can be detected.
Architecture and Design
Use encryption in order to make it more difficult to guess other legitimate values of the key or associate a digital signature with the key so that the server can verify that there has been no tampering.
