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

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

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: High: There is total loss of confidentiality, resulting in all resources within the impacted component being divulged to the attacker. Alternatively, access to only some restricted information is obtained, but the disclosed information presents a direct, serious impact.
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: Required: Successful exploitation of this vulnerability requires a user to take some action before the vulnerability can be exploited.

Exploitation evidence

Disclosed: evidence found.
CVE published 12 Feb 2026
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 26 Oct 2026.

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 or the CVSS exploit maturity 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

Upgrade @farmfe/core to version 1.7.6 or later immediately to ensure origin validation is enforced in the WebSocket implementation.
Restrict WebSocket connections on development servers to trusted origins only, using firewall rules or WebSocket server configuration to whitelist developer machines and trusted domains.
Educate developers to avoid visiting untrusted or suspicious websites while running development servers that expose WebSocket endpoints.
Consider isolating development environments from general internet access or using VPNs to limit exposure to malicious webpages.
Implement network segmentation to separate development machines from sensitive production networks.
Monitor WebSocket traffic during development for unusual connection attempts or data exfiltration patterns.
Review and audit development tooling configurations regularly to ensure security best practices are followed.
Employ endpoint protection solutions that can detect and block suspicious network connections initiated by development tools.

Description

npm @farmfe/core before 1.7.6 is Missing Origin Validation in WebSocket. The development (hot module reloading) server does not validate origin when connecting to a WebSocket client. This allows attackers to surveil developers running Farm who visit their webpage and steal source code that is leaked by the WebSocket server.

Impact

For European organizations, the primary impact of CVE-2025-56647 is the potential theft of proprietary source code and intellectual property during the software development process. This can lead to significant competitive disadvantage, loss of trade secrets, and increased risk of further attacks if sensitive code or credentials are exposed. Since the vulnerability affects the development server used for hot module reloading, it does not directly impact production systems but compromises the confidentiality of the development environment. Organizations with active web development teams using @farmfe/core are at risk, especially if developers access untrusted websites while running the vulnerable development server. The exposure of source code could also lead to compliance issues under European data protection regulations if the code contains sensitive personal data processing logic or security controls. Additionally, the vulnerability could be leveraged by advanced persistent threat (APT) actors targeting European tech companies to gain early insight into software projects. The medium severity rating indicates a moderate but non-negligible risk that requires timely remediation to avoid intellectual property loss.

CWE-1385Missing Origin Validation in WebSockets (opens in a new tab)
Variant weakness
The product uses a WebSocket, but it does not properly verify that the source of data or communication is valid.
Implementation
Enable CORS-like access restrictions by verifying the 'Origin' header during the WebSocket handshake.
Implementation
Use a randomized CSRF token to verify requests.
Implementation
Use TLS to securely communicate using 'wss' (WebSocket Secure) instead of 'ws'.
