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 2026-10-25.

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

1. Upgrade BOLD Workplanner to version 2.5.25 or later immediately, as this version addresses the authorization validation flaw. 2. Implement strict server-side validation of all user-controlled input, especially internal identifiers used for access control decisions, to ensure users can only access resources they are authorized for. 3. Conduct a thorough audit of permission and access control configurations within BOLD Workplanner to detect and remediate any unauthorized access paths. 4. Enforce strong authentication mechanisms, such as multi-factor authentication (MFA), to reduce the risk of compromised credentials being used to exploit this vulnerability. 5. Monitor logs and network traffic for unusual access patterns or attempts to access unauthorized permission lists. 6. Restrict network access to the BOLD Workplanner application to trusted internal networks or VPNs to limit exposure. 7. Educate users about the importance of safeguarding their credentials and reporting suspicious activity promptly. 8. Coordinate with GPS vendor support for any additional patches or security advisories related to this vulnerability.

Description

CVE-2025-41099 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 authenticated users to bypass authorization controls by manipulating user-controlled keys to access unauthorized permission lists. The vulnerability requires no user interaction and no elevated privileges beyond authentication. Exploitation can lead to unauthorized disclosure of sensitive permission data, impacting confidentiality. No known exploits are currently reported in the wild. European organizations using affected versions should prioritize patching and implement strict access validation to mitigate risks. Countries with significant deployments of BOLD Workplanner or critical infrastructure relying on it are at higher risk.

Impact

For European organizations, this vulnerability poses a significant risk to the confidentiality of sensitive permission data within BOLD Workplanner deployments. Unauthorized access to permission lists can enable attackers or malicious insiders to map out user privileges, identify high-value targets, and potentially plan further privilege escalation or lateral movement within the network. This is particularly concerning for organizations relying on BOLD Workplanner for critical planning and scheduling functions, such as manufacturing, logistics, or infrastructure management. Exposure of permission data could lead to operational disruptions if attackers leverage the information to manipulate workflows or gain unauthorized control. Additionally, regulatory compliance risks arise under GDPR and other data protection laws if unauthorized access leads to personal or sensitive data exposure. The network-based exploitability and lack of required user interaction increase the likelihood of exploitation, especially in environments where authentication controls are weak or compromised. Although no active exploits are currently known, the high CVSS score and nature of the vulnerability warrant urgent attention to prevent potential future attacks.

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.
