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: None: The vulnerable system can be exploited without interaction from any human user, other than the attacker.
Vulnerable system 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 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: Low: Performance is reduced or there are interruptions in resource availability. Even if repeated exploitation of the vulnerability is possible, the attacker does not have the ability to completely deny service to legitimate users. The resources in the Vulnerable System are either partially available all of the time, or fully available only some of the time, but overall there is no direct, serious consequence to 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.

Exploitation evidence

Disclosed: evidence found.
CVE published 2 Jun 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
Observed by OffSeq MirageSeen by Mirage: no evidence on record.
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 2026-10-25.

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.

AI-suggested

Since no official patches are available, European organizations should implement immediate compensating controls. First, apply strict input validation and sanitization on the 'ID' parameter at the web application firewall (WAF) or reverse proxy level to block malicious SQL payloads. Employ parameterized queries or prepared statements if source code access is possible to eliminate injection vectors. Conduct thorough code reviews and security testing to identify and remediate similar injection points. Restrict database user permissions to the minimum necessary to limit the impact of potential injection attacks. Monitor web server and database logs for unusual query patterns or repeated failed attempts targeting the 'ID' parameter. Consider isolating the CMS environment from critical internal networks to reduce lateral movement risk. If feasible, migrate to alternative CMS platforms with active vendor support or newer versions without this vulnerability. Finally, maintain up-to-date backups and incident response plans to quickly recover from potential compromise.

Description

A vulnerability was found in Aem Solutions CMS up to 1.0. It has been classified as critical. This affects an unknown part of the file /page.php. The manipulation of the argument ID leads to sql injection. It is possible to initiate the attack remotely. The exploit has been disclosed to the public and may be used. The vendor was contacted early about this disclosure but did not respond in any way.

Impact

For European organizations using Aem Solutions CMS 1.0 or earlier, this vulnerability poses a significant risk to the confidentiality and integrity of their web application data. Successful exploitation could allow attackers to extract sensitive information such as user credentials, business data, or intellectual property stored in the CMS database. Additionally, attackers could alter or delete content, potentially damaging the organization's reputation and operational continuity. Given the CMS's role in managing public-facing websites, exploitation could also lead to website defacement or service disruption, impacting customer trust and business operations. The lack of vendor response and absence of patches exacerbate the risk, as organizations must rely on their own mitigation strategies. European organizations in sectors with strict data protection regulations (e.g., GDPR) face potential compliance violations and legal consequences if sensitive data is compromised. Furthermore, the remote and unauthenticated nature of the attack vector increases the threat landscape, as attackers can target vulnerable systems over the internet without prior access.
