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: Required: Successful exploitation of this vulnerability requires a user to take some action before the vulnerability can be exploited.
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: Low: Modification of data is possible, but the attacker does not have control over the consequence of a modification, or the amount of modification is limited. The data modification does not have a direct, serious impact on the impacted component.
Availability: None: There is no impact to availability within the impacted component.
Exploit Code Maturity: Unproven: No exploit code is available, or an exploit is theoretical.
Remediation Level: Official Fix: A complete vendor solution is available. Either the vendor has issued an official patch, or an upgrade is available.
Report Confidence: Confirmed: Detailed reports exist, or functional reproduction is possible (functional exploits may provide this). Source code is available to independently verify the assertions of the research, or the author or vendor of the affected code has confirmed the presence of the vulnerability.

Exploitation evidence

Detectable: no evidence on record.
No public nuclei template indexed

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 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. Monitor Microsoft’s official security advisories and apply patches or updates as soon as they become available for Dynamics 365 (on-premises) version 9.1. 2. Implement strict input validation and output encoding on all user-supplied data rendered in web pages to prevent injection of malicious scripts. 3. Deploy Content Security Policy (CSP) headers to restrict the execution of unauthorized scripts and reduce the impact of potential XSS attacks. 4. Conduct regular security assessments and code reviews focusing on web interface components of Dynamics 365 to identify and remediate unsafe input handling. 5. Educate users about phishing and social engineering risks to reduce the likelihood of user interaction with malicious links or content. 6. Restrict external access to Dynamics 365 web interfaces where possible, using network segmentation, VPNs, or web application firewalls (WAFs) with XSS detection capabilities. 7. Enable multi-factor authentication (MFA) to reduce the impact of credential theft resulting from spoofing attacks. 8. Monitor logs and network traffic for unusual activities indicative of attempted exploitation or phishing campaigns targeting Dynamics 365 users.

Description

Improper neutralization of input during web page generation ('cross-site scripting') in Microsoft Dynamics 365 (on-premises) allows an unauthorized attacker to perform spoofing over a network.

Impact

For European organizations, the impact of CVE-2025-49745 can be significant, particularly in sectors relying heavily on Microsoft Dynamics 365 for customer relationship management, sales, and enterprise resource planning. Successful exploitation could lead to unauthorized disclosure of sensitive customer or business data (confidentiality impact) and unauthorized modification of data or actions performed under a user’s context (integrity impact). While availability is not directly affected, the indirect consequences of data breaches or fraud could disrupt business operations and damage reputation. The vulnerability's network-based attack vector means attackers can attempt exploitation remotely, increasing risk for organizations with externally accessible Dynamics 365 portals. Given the medium severity, the threat is moderate but should not be underestimated, especially in regulated industries such as finance, healthcare, and government where data protection is critical. The lack of known exploits in the wild currently provides a window for proactive mitigation. However, the requirement for user interaction means phishing or social engineering campaigns could be used to trigger the vulnerability, which is a common attack vector in Europe. Overall, the vulnerability could facilitate targeted attacks against European enterprises, potentially leading to data breaches, compliance violations (e.g., GDPR), and financial losses.

Architecture and Design · Libraries or Frameworks
Use a vetted library or framework that does not allow this weakness to occur or provides constructs that make this weakness easier to avoid.
Implementation · Architecture and Design
Understand the context in which your data will be used and the encoding that will be expected. This is especially important when transmitting data between different components, or when generating outputs that can contain multiple encodings at the same time, such as web pages or multi-part mail messages.
