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: High: The attacker requires privileges that provide significant (e.g., administrative) control over the vulnerable system allowing full access to the vulnerable system’s settings and files.
User Interaction: Passive: Successful exploitation of this vulnerability requires limited interaction by the targeted user with the vulnerable system and the attacker’s payload. These interactions would be considered involuntary and do not require that the user actively subvert protections built into the vulnerable system.
Vulnerable system confidentiality: None: There is no loss of confidentiality within 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: 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 27 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

Since no official patches or updates are currently available from the vendor, European organizations should implement immediate compensating controls. These include: 1) Restricting access to the /admin/save_settings.php endpoint through network-level controls such as IP whitelisting or VPN-only access to limit exposure to trusted administrators. 2) Implementing web application firewalls (WAFs) with custom rules to detect and block suspicious input patterns targeting the site_phone, site_email, and address parameters. 3) Educating administrators about the risk of clicking on untrusted links or submitting unverified data to the admin interface to reduce the likelihood of successful user interaction exploitation. 4) Conducting regular security audits and input validation reviews on all administrative input fields to identify and remediate similar vulnerabilities proactively. 5) Monitoring logs for unusual activity related to the affected parameters or admin interface access patterns. 6) Planning for an upgrade or migration to a patched or alternative solution once available to eliminate the vulnerability permanently.

Description

A vulnerability, which was classified as problematic, was found in code-projects Food Distributor Site 1.0. Affected is an unknown function of the file /admin/save_settings.php. The manipulation of the argument site_phone/site_email/address leads to cross site scripting. It is possible to launch the attack remotely. The exploit has been disclosed to the public and may be used.

Impact

For European organizations using the code-projects Food Distributor Site version 1.0, this vulnerability poses a risk primarily to the integrity of administrative operations and potentially to the confidentiality of administrative sessions. Successful exploitation could allow attackers to execute arbitrary scripts in the context of an administrator, leading to session hijacking, unauthorized changes to site settings, or distribution of malicious content to other users. Given that the vulnerability affects the administrative interface, the impact could extend to operational disruptions or data manipulation within the food distribution business processes. While the vulnerability does not directly affect availability or cause data breaches, the indirect consequences of compromised administrative control could be significant, especially for organizations handling sensitive customer or supplier information. The medium severity rating suggests that while the risk is not critical, it should not be ignored, especially in regulated industries or where compliance with data protection laws such as GDPR is mandatory.
