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: 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: None: There is no loss of integrity within 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.
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 20 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

1. Immediate application of patches or updates from the vendor once available is the primary mitigation step. 2. Implement strict network-level access controls to restrict access to the /vote.php endpoint, limiting it to trusted IP addresses or internal networks where feasible. 3. Deploy web application firewalls (WAFs) with custom rules to detect and block suspicious direct request patterns targeting the voting backend. 4. Conduct thorough input validation and implement server-side authorization checks to ensure that only legitimate voting requests are processed, preventing unauthorized direct requests. 5. Monitor logs for unusual voting activity or repeated access attempts to the vulnerable endpoint, enabling early detection of exploitation attempts. 6. Consider temporary disabling or isolating the Automated Voting System if it is critical and no immediate patch is available, especially during sensitive voting periods. 7. Educate system administrators and relevant personnel about the vulnerability and the importance of rapid response to suspicious activities related to the voting system.

Description

A vulnerability classified as problematic has been found in code-projects Automated Voting System 1.0. Affected is an unknown function of the file /vote.php of the component Backend. The manipulation leads to direct request. It is possible to launch the attack remotely. The exploit has been disclosed to the public and may be used.

Impact

For European organizations utilizing the code-projects Automated Voting System 1.0, this vulnerability poses a risk to the integrity and trustworthiness of electronic voting processes. Exploitation could lead to unauthorized vote submissions or manipulation, undermining the reliability of election outcomes or internal decision-making processes that rely on automated voting. Although the confidentiality impact is low and availability is not affected, the integrity compromise could have severe reputational and operational consequences, especially for governmental bodies, political parties, or organizations conducting critical votes. Given the public disclosure of the exploit, there is an increased risk of opportunistic attacks targeting vulnerable installations. The medium severity rating suggests that while the vulnerability is not critical, it requires prompt attention to prevent potential misuse. The impact is particularly significant in contexts where voting integrity is paramount, such as municipal elections, corporate governance, or public consultations within European countries.
