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

Attack Vector: Network: The vulnerable system is bound to the network stack and the set of possible attackers extends beyond the other options listed below, 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: The attacker must take no measurable action to exploit the vulnerability. The attack requires no target-specific circumvention to exploit the vulnerability. An attacker can expect repeatable success against the vulnerable system.
Attack Requirements: None: The successful attack does not depend on the deployment and execution conditions of the vulnerable system. The attacker can expect to be able to reach the vulnerability and execute the exploit under all or most instances of the vulnerability.
Privileges Required: None: The attacker is unauthorized prior to attack, and therefore does not require any access to settings or files of the vulnerable system to carry out an attack.
User Interaction: Passive: Successful exploitation of this vulnerability requires limited interaction by the targeted user with the vulnerable system and the attacker’s payload. These interactions would be considered involuntary and do not require that the user actively subvert protections built into the vulnerable system.
Vulnerable system confidentiality: None: There is no loss of confidentiality within the Vulnerable System.
Vulnerable system 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 to the Vulnerable System.
Vulnerable system availability: None: There is no impact to availability within the Vulnerable System.
Subsequent system confidentiality: None: There is no loss of confidentiality within the Subsequent System or all confidentiality impact is constrained to the Vulnerable System.
Subsequent system integrity: None: There is no loss of integrity within the Subsequent System or all integrity impact is constrained to the Vulnerable System.
Subsequent system availability: None: There is no impact to availability within the Subsequent System or all availability impact is constrained to the Vulnerable System.

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

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

Beyond the immediate recommendation to upgrade to Mist Community Edition version 4.7.2, European organizations should implement several additional measures: 1) Enforce strict Content Security Policy (CSP) headers to reduce the risk of malicious cross-site requests. 2) Implement or verify existing anti-CSRF tokens on all state-changing requests within the application to ensure requests are legitimate. 3) Conduct regular security audits and penetration testing focusing on web application vulnerabilities, including CSRF and session management flaws. 4) Educate users about the risks of clicking on suspicious links or visiting untrusted websites while authenticated to critical systems. 5) Monitor application logs for unusual or unauthorized actions that could indicate exploitation attempts. 6) Employ web application firewalls (WAF) with rules designed to detect and block CSRF attack patterns. 7) Restrict administrative access to the Mist Community Edition interface to trusted networks or VPNs to reduce exposure. These layered defenses will help mitigate the risk even if a patch cannot be immediately applied.

Description

A vulnerability was found in Mist Community Edition up to 4.7.1. It has been declared as problematic. This vulnerability affects the function session_start_response of the file src/mist/api/auth/middleware.py. The manipulation leads to cross-site request forgery. The attack can be initiated remotely. The exploit has been disclosed to the public and may be used. Upgrading to version 4.7.2 is able to address this issue. The patch is identified as db10ecb62ac832c1ed4924556d167efb9bc07fad. It is recommended to upgrade the affected component.

Impact

For European organizations using Mist Community Edition, this CSRF vulnerability could allow attackers to perform unauthorized actions on behalf of legitimate users, potentially leading to unauthorized changes in system configurations, session hijacking, or manipulation of user data depending on the application's functionality. While the confidentiality impact is minimal, the integrity of user sessions and application state could be compromised, leading to operational disruptions or unauthorized privilege escalations within the application context. Given that Mist Community Edition is often used in network management or monitoring environments, unauthorized commands or configuration changes could disrupt network operations or expose sensitive infrastructure details. The medium severity rating suggests that while the threat is not critical, it is significant enough to warrant prompt remediation to avoid exploitation, especially in environments with high-value network assets or sensitive operational data. The lack of known exploits in the wild reduces immediate risk but does not eliminate the potential for future attacks, particularly as the exploit details are public.
