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

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).
Attack Complexity: Low: Specialized access conditions or extenuating circumstances do not exist. An attacker can expect repeatable success against the vulnerable 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.
User Interaction: None: The vulnerable system can be exploited without any interaction from any user.
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.
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: High: There is a total loss of integrity, or a complete loss of protection. For example, the attacker is able to modify any/all files protected by the impacted component. Alternatively, only some files can be modified, but malicious modification would present a direct, serious consequence to the impacted component.
Availability: None: There is no impact to availability within the impacted component.

Exploitation evidence

Disclosed: evidence found.
CVE published 18 Dec 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

1. Immediately restrict the CORS policy on the /console/api/system-features endpoint to allow only trusted origins explicitly, avoiding reflection of arbitrary Origin headers. 2. Set Access-Control-Allow-Credentials to false unless absolutely necessary, and if used, ensure strict origin validation. 3. Implement server-side validation of Origin headers against a whitelist of allowed domains to prevent unauthorized cross-origin requests. 4. Employ Content Security Policy (CSP) headers to limit the domains that can interact with the application. 5. Monitor network traffic and logs for unusual cross-origin requests or suspicious activities targeting the vulnerable endpoint. 6. If possible, disable or restrict access to the /console/api/system-features endpoint until a patch is released. 7. Engage with the vendor for timely updates and patches, and apply them as soon as they become available. 8. Conduct penetration testing and code reviews focused on CORS configurations across all web-facing services. 9. Educate developers and administrators on secure CORS implementation best practices to prevent similar vulnerabilities.

Description

A Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS) misconfiguration vulnerability exists in Dify v1.9.1 in the /console/api/system-features endpoint. The endpoint implements an overly permissive CORS policy that reflects arbitrary Origin headers and sets Access-Control-Allow-Credentials: true, allowing any external domain to make authenticated cross-origin requests. NOTE: the Supplier disputes this, providing the rationale of "sending requests with credentials does not provide any additional access compared to unauthenticated requests."

Impact

For European organizations, exploitation of this vulnerability could lead to unauthorized disclosure of sensitive information and unauthorized modification of data, severely impacting confidentiality and integrity. Since the vulnerability allows cross-origin requests with credentials, attackers could leverage malicious websites to perform actions on behalf of authenticated users without their consent. This could result in data breaches, unauthorized configuration changes, or exposure of internal system features. The lack of required authentication or user interaction increases the risk of automated exploitation at scale. Organizations in sectors such as finance, healthcare, and government, which often handle sensitive personal and operational data, are particularly at risk. The potential impact includes regulatory non-compliance with GDPR due to data breaches, reputational damage, and operational disruptions. The absence of a patch means organizations must rely on mitigation strategies until an official fix is available.
