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: None: There is no loss of integrity within the impacted component.
Availability: None: There is no impact to availability within the impacted component.

Exploitation evidence

Disclosed: evidence found.
CVE published 11 Mar 2026
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

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.

AI-suggested

To mitigate CVE-2025-70027, organizations should first monitor vendor communications for official patches or updates addressing the SSRF vulnerability in SunbirdEd-portal version 1.13.4 and apply them promptly once available. In the interim, implement strict input validation and sanitization on all user-supplied URLs or parameters that the server uses to make outbound requests, ensuring only trusted and whitelisted domains are accessible. Employ network segmentation and firewall rules to restrict the server's ability to initiate requests to internal or sensitive network resources, limiting the SSRF attack surface. Use web application firewalls (WAFs) configured to detect and block suspicious SSRF patterns and anomalous outbound requests. Conduct thorough logging and monitoring of outbound traffic from the portal server to detect unusual or unauthorized request patterns indicative of SSRF exploitation attempts. Educate development and security teams on SSRF risks and secure coding practices to prevent similar vulnerabilities in future releases. Finally, consider deploying runtime application self-protection (RASP) solutions that can detect and block SSRF attacks in real time. These combined measures will reduce the risk until a vendor patch is applied.

Description

An issue pertaining to CWE-918: Server-Side Request Forgery was discovered in Sunbird-Ed SunbirdEd-portal v1.13.4. This allows attackers to obtain sensitive information

Impact

The impact of CVE-2025-70027 can be severe for organizations using SunbirdEd-portal, particularly educational institutions that handle sensitive student and staff information. Successful exploitation could lead to unauthorized disclosure of confidential data, including personally identifiable information (PII), academic records, or internal system details. This data leakage could result in privacy violations, regulatory non-compliance, and reputational damage. Additionally, SSRF vulnerabilities can be leveraged to perform internal network reconnaissance or access internal services that are otherwise protected by firewalls, potentially leading to further compromise or lateral movement within the network. The absence of authentication requirements lowers the barrier for attackers, increasing the likelihood of exploitation. Given the critical nature of educational data and the potential for cascading effects, the threat poses a significant risk to confidentiality and integrity. Availability impact is less direct but could arise if attackers use the SSRF to trigger denial-of-service conditions on internal systems. Overall, the vulnerability threatens the confidentiality and integrity of affected systems and data, with a broad scope due to the server-side nature of the flaw.
