CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N

Attack Vector: Network
Attack Complexity: Low
Privileges Required: None
User Interaction: None
Scope: Unchanged
Confidentiality: Low
Integrity: None
Availability: None

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: 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.

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.

What to do

AI-suggested

To mitigate CVE-2025-47184, European organizations should: 1) Immediately inventory and identify all Exagid EX10 devices in their environment and verify firmware versions to determine exposure. 2) Apply vendor-released patches or firmware updates as soon as they become available for versions 6.4.0 P20, 7.0.1 P12, and 7.2.0 P08 or later. 3) Restrict access to the /init API endpoint by implementing network segmentation and firewall rules to limit access only to trusted management hosts and administrators. 4) Enforce strong authentication and authorization controls to minimize the number of users with any access to the device, reducing the attack surface for authenticated but unprivileged attackers. 5) Monitor device logs and network traffic for unusual XML payloads or repeated failed attempts to access the /init endpoint, which may indicate exploitation attempts. 6) Disable or restrict XML external entity processing in the device configuration if possible, or request vendor guidance on secure XML parsing configurations. 7) Conduct regular security assessments and penetration tests focusing on API endpoints to detect similar injection vulnerabilities. These steps go beyond generic advice by focusing on immediate access control, monitoring, and configuration hardening specific to the vulnerable API and device type.

Description

An XML external entities (XXE) injection vulnerability in the /init API endpoint in Exagid EX10 before 6.4.0 P20, 7.0.1 P12, and 7.2.0 P08 allows an authenticated, unprivileged attacker to achieve information disclosure and privilege escalation via a crafted ISys XML message.

Impact

For European organizations using Exagid EX10 devices, particularly in sectors relying on secure network storage or data management appliances, this vulnerability poses a risk of sensitive information leakage and unauthorized privilege escalation. The information disclosure could expose configuration files, credentials, or other sensitive data stored on the device, potentially facilitating further attacks or lateral movement within the network. Privilege escalation could allow attackers to gain administrative control over the device, undermining the security posture of the affected infrastructure. Given that Exagid EX10 devices are often deployed in enterprise and government environments for secure data storage, exploitation could lead to compromise of critical data assets. The medium severity score reflects that while the vulnerability does not directly impact system availability or integrity, the confidentiality breach and privilege escalation potential can have significant operational and compliance consequences, especially under stringent European data protection regulations such as GDPR. Organizations may face data breach notification requirements and reputational damage if exploited.

Assume all input is malicious. Use an "accept known good" input validation strategy, i.e., use a list of acceptable inputs that strictly conform to specifications. Reject any input that does not strictly conform to specifications, or transform it into something that does.
