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

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

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

Attack Complexity: Low: Specialized access conditions or extenuating circumstances do not exist. An attacker can expect repeatable success against the vulnerable component.
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).
Availability: None: There is no impact to availability within the impacted component.
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.
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.
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.
User Interaction: None: The vulnerable system can be exploited without any interaction from any user.

Exploitation evidence

Disclosed: evidence found.
CVE published 7 Aug 2025
Detectable: no evidence on record.
No public nuclei template indexed
Weaponised: no evidence on record.

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.

What to do

AI-suggested

European organizations should promptly upgrade Sage DPW to the Halbjahresversion 2024_12_004 or later, which contains the fix for this IDOR vulnerability. Until the patch is applied, organizations should restrict external access to the affected Sage DPW instance using network-level controls such as firewalls or VPNs to limit exposure. Implementing strict access control policies and monitoring HTTP requests for unusual GET requests targeting internal forms can help detect exploitation attempts. Additionally, conducting a thorough audit of exposed internal forms and reviewing logs for unauthorized access patterns is recommended. Organizations should also ensure that their incident response plans include procedures for handling data exposure incidents related to this vulnerability. Finally, raising user awareness about the importance of timely patching and maintaining up-to-date software versions is critical to reducing risk.

Description

An Insecure Direct Object Reference (IDOR) in Sage DPW v2024_12_004 and below allows unauthorized attackers to access internal forms via sending a crafted GET request.

Impact

For European organizations using Sage DPW 2024.12.003, this vulnerability poses a risk of unauthorized disclosure of internal forms, which may contain sensitive business or personal information. Such exposure could lead to information leakage, potentially aiding further targeted attacks or causing compliance issues under regulations like GDPR if personal data is involved. Although the vulnerability does not allow modification or destruction of data, the confidentiality breach alone can damage organizational reputation and trust. The ease of exploitation without authentication increases the risk, especially for organizations with externally accessible Sage DPW instances. However, since there are no known exploits in the wild and the issue is fixed in a subsequent version, the immediate risk is moderate. Organizations that delay patching remain vulnerable to opportunistic attackers scanning for this weakness.

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.
