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: High: The attacker is authorized with (i.e., requires) privileges that provide significant (e.g., administrative) control over the vulnerable component that could affect component-wide settings and files.
User Interaction: None: The vulnerable system can be exploited without any interaction from any user.
Scope: Changed: An exploited vulnerability can affect resources beyond the security scope managed by the security authority of the vulnerable component. In this case, the vulnerable component and the impacted component are different and managed by different security authorities.
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 impacted component.
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 30 May 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 or the CVSS exploit maturity 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

Immediate mitigation should focus on restricting administrative access to the Airpointer web portal through strong authentication mechanisms, including multi-factor authentication (MFA) and strict access control policies.
Monitor and audit administrative activities to detect unusual file access patterns or request manipulations indicative of exploitation attempts.
Apply network segmentation to isolate the Airpointer system from broader enterprise networks, limiting the potential impact of a compromised administrator account.
Until an official patch is released, consider implementing web application firewall (WAF) rules to detect and block suspicious requests that attempt local file inclusion patterns.
Conduct a thorough review of file permissions and server configurations to minimize exposure of sensitive files and directories.
Educate administrators on secure usage practices and the risks of privilege misuse.
Plan for prompt patch deployment once JCT releases an official fix, and test patches in a controlled environment before production rollout.
Regularly back up critical data and configuration files to enable recovery in case of compromise.

Description

The web portal on airpointer 2.4.107-2 was vulnerable local file inclusion. A malicious user with administrative privileges in the web portal would be able to manipulate requests to view files on the filesystem

Impact

For European organizations using JCT Airpointer version 2.4.107-2, this vulnerability poses a risk primarily to confidentiality. If exploited, attackers with administrative access could retrieve sensitive files, including configuration files, credentials, or personal data stored on the system. This could lead to information disclosure incidents, regulatory non-compliance (e.g., GDPR violations), and reputational damage. Since the vulnerability requires administrative privileges, the initial compromise vector is likely through credential theft or insider threats. However, once exploited, the attacker could gain deeper insight into the system architecture and potentially leverage this information for lateral movement or privilege escalation. The impact is particularly critical for organizations handling sensitive environmental, infrastructure, or operational data via Airpointer, as unauthorized data exposure could disrupt business operations or lead to targeted attacks. Given the scope change, the vulnerability could affect multiple components or services beyond the web portal, increasing the risk surface. The absence of known exploits reduces immediate risk but does not eliminate the threat, especially if attackers develop exploits in the future.
