Bold values are the worst case: easiest to exploit or largest impact.

Attack Vector: Network: The vulnerable component is bound to the network stack and the set of possible attackers extends beyond the other options listed, 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: Specialized access conditions or extenuating circumstances do not exist. An attacker can expect repeatable success against the vulnerable component.
Privileges Required: None: The attacker is unauthorized prior to attack, and therefore does not require any access to settings or files to carry out an attack.
User Interaction: None: The vulnerable system can be exploited without any interaction from any user.
Scope: Unchanged: An exploited vulnerability can only affect resources managed by the same security authority. In this case, the vulnerable component and the impacted component are either the same, or both are managed by the same security authority.
Confidentiality: High: There is total loss of confidentiality, resulting in all resources within the impacted component being divulged to the attacker. Alternatively, access to only some restricted information is obtained, but the disclosed information presents a direct, serious impact.
Integrity: None: There is no loss of integrity within the impacted component.
Availability: None: There is no impact to availability within the impacted component.

Exploitation evidence

Disclosed: evidence found.
CVE published 10 Jun 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 2026-10-26.

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. Immediate verification of the Salesforce OmniStudio version in use and prioritization of upgrading to the Spring 2025 release or later where the vulnerability is addressed. 2. Until patches are applied, restrict network access to OmniStudio environments using network segmentation and firewall rules to limit exposure to trusted IP addresses only. 3. Implement enhanced monitoring and logging around OmniStudio DataMapper activities to detect anomalous access patterns or data exfiltration attempts. 4. Review and tighten permission configurations within OmniStudio to ensure least privilege principles are enforced, minimizing the impact if exploitation occurs. 5. Coordinate with Salesforce support to obtain official patches or workarounds and confirm remediation status. 6. Conduct a thorough audit of encrypted data exposure and assess potential data leakage to comply with GDPR and other relevant regulations. 7. Educate internal security teams about this vulnerability to ensure rapid incident response if exploitation is suspected.

Description

Improper Preservation of Permissions vulnerability in Salesforce OmniStudio (DataMapper) allows exposure of encrypted data. This impacts OmniStudio: before Spring 2025

Impact

For European organizations using Salesforce OmniStudio, this vulnerability poses a significant risk to the confidentiality of sensitive data, including customer information, business logic, and encrypted datasets managed within the platform. Given Salesforce's widespread adoption across various sectors such as finance, healthcare, retail, and public administration in Europe, unauthorized data exposure could lead to regulatory non-compliance (e.g., GDPR violations), reputational damage, and potential financial penalties. The exposure of encrypted data undermines trust in data protection mechanisms and could facilitate further attacks if attackers gain insights into encryption schemes or sensitive business processes. The lack of required authentication or user interaction increases the threat level, as attackers can exploit this vulnerability remotely without insider access. This is particularly critical for organizations that rely heavily on OmniStudio for data integration and process automation, as the compromised confidentiality could cascade into broader operational risks.
