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 7 Jul 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

European organizations should prioritize applying the official patch identified by commit b2450530d1ddd0397a11001a72aa0fde401db16a to all affected versions of SimStudioAI sim (0.1.0 through 0.1.17). Beyond patching, organizations should implement strict input validation and sanitization on all file path parameters to prevent path traversal attempts. Employing web application firewalls (WAFs) with custom rules to detect and block suspicious path traversal patterns can provide additional protection. Access controls on the file system should be reviewed and tightened to ensure that the application process has the minimum necessary permissions, limiting the impact of any successful traversal. Regular security audits and code reviews focusing on file handling functions are recommended to detect similar vulnerabilities. Monitoring logs for unusual file access patterns or errors related to file paths can help detect exploitation attempts early.

Description

A vulnerability classified as critical has been found in SimStudioAI sim up to 0.1.17. Affected is the function handleLocalFile of the file apps/sim/app/api/files/parse/route.ts. The manipulation of the argument filePath leads to path traversal. It is possible to launch the attack remotely. The exploit has been disclosed to the public and may be used. The patch is identified as b2450530d1ddd0397a11001a72aa0fde401db16a. It is recommended to apply a patch to fix this issue.

Impact

For European organizations using SimStudioAI sim, this vulnerability poses a risk of unauthorized disclosure of sensitive internal files, potentially exposing intellectual property, user data, or system configuration details. Given the remote exploitability without authentication, attackers could leverage this vulnerability to gain insights into the internal environment, facilitating further targeted attacks or data breaches. Organizations in sectors with high data sensitivity, such as finance, healthcare, or critical infrastructure, could face regulatory repercussions under GDPR if personal or sensitive data is exposed. Additionally, disclosure of internal files could undermine operational security and trust. The medium severity rating suggests that while the vulnerability is serious, it does not directly allow code execution or system compromise, but the confidentiality impact alone can be significant depending on the data accessed.
