Threat metrics

Exploit Maturity: POC

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: Low: The attacker requires privileges that provide basic capabilities that are typically limited to settings and resources owned by a single low-privileged user. Alternatively, an attacker with Low privileges has the ability to access only non-sensitive resources.
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.
Exploit Maturity: POC: Based on threat intelligence sources each of the following must apply: · Proof-of-concept is publicly available · No knowledge of reported attempts to exploit this vulnerability · No knowledge of publicly available solutions used to simplify attempts to exploit the vulnerability

Exploitation evidence

Disclosed: evidence found.
CVE published 16 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 2026-10-26.

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. Network Segmentation: Restrict the InHire server's outbound network access to only necessary external endpoints using firewall rules or proxy configurations to prevent arbitrary SSRF exploitation. 2. Input Validation and Filtering: Implement web application firewalls (WAFs) with custom rules to detect and block suspicious requests targeting the '29chcotoo9' parameter or unusual request patterns indicative of SSRF attempts. 3. Internal Service Hardening: Ensure internal services are not accessible or require strong authentication, minimizing the impact if SSRF is exploited to reach internal endpoints. 4. Monitoring and Logging: Enable detailed logging of all inbound requests to the InHire application, focusing on the suspicious parameter, and monitor for anomalous outbound requests from the server. 5. Incident Response Preparation: Develop and test incident response plans specific to SSRF exploitation scenarios, including network isolation and forensic analysis. 6. Vendor Engagement: Continue to seek updates from Intera regarding patches or official mitigations and subscribe to threat intelligence feeds for emerging exploit information. 7. Temporary Workarounds: If possible, disable or restrict the functionality associated with the vulnerable parameter until a patch is available. 8. Access Controls: Limit access to the InHire application to trusted networks or VPN users to reduce exposure to external attackers.

Description

A vulnerability was found in Intera InHire up to 20250530. It has been declared as critical. Affected by this vulnerability is an unknown functionality. The manipulation of the argument 29chcotoo9 leads to server-side request forgery. The attack can be launched 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 Intera InHire, this SSRF vulnerability poses a moderate risk. Exploitation could allow attackers to pivot into internal networks, access sensitive internal services, or exfiltrate data not normally exposed externally. Given that InHire is likely used in HR or recruitment contexts, sensitive personal data could be at risk, impacting GDPR compliance and leading to reputational damage and regulatory penalties. The ability to perform SSRF without authentication increases the risk of automated scanning and exploitation attempts. While the CVSS score is medium, the potential for lateral movement within corporate networks or access to internal APIs could escalate the impact. Organizations with complex internal network architectures or those exposing sensitive internal services to the InHire server are particularly vulnerable. The lack of vendor response and patches means organizations must rely on compensating controls. The threat is heightened in sectors with stringent data protection requirements, such as finance, healthcare, and government entities across Europe.
