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: Low: The attacker requires privileges that provide basic capabilities that are typically limited to settings and resources owned by a single low-privileged user. Alternatively, an attacker with Low privileges has the ability to access only non-sensitive resources.
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

Exploited in the wildExploited: no evidence on record.
Not in CISA KEV and no source reports exploitation

A missing step is not evidence of safety. Sources: cve.org (opens in a new tab), CVSS vector, 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

Implement immediate input validation and output encoding on the 'Benefício' parameter to neutralize malicious scripts, ideally by applying context-aware encoding (e.g., HTML entity encoding).
Deploy web application firewalls (WAFs) with rules to detect and block typical XSS payloads targeting the vulnerable endpoint.
Educate users to be cautious of unsolicited links or messages related to the intranet portal.
Restrict access to the intranet portal to trusted networks or VPNs to reduce exposure.
Monitor web server logs for suspicious requests targeting /intranet/educar_aluno_beneficio_lst.php with unusual parameter values.
If possible, upgrade to a newer version of i-Educar once the vendor releases a patch or consider applying custom patches or workarounds to sanitize inputs.
Conduct regular security assessments and penetration testing focused on web application vulnerabilities.
Implement Content Security Policy (CSP) headers to mitigate the impact of XSS by restricting script execution sources.

Description

A vulnerability, which was classified as problematic, has been found in Portabilis i-Educar 2.9.0. Affected by this issue is some unknown functionality of the file /intranet/educar_aluno_beneficio_lst.php of the component Student Benefits Registration. The manipulation of the argument Benefício leads to cross site scripting. The attack may be launched remotely. The exploit has been disclosed to the public and may be used. The vendor was contacted early about this disclosure but did not respond in any way.

Impact

For European organizations using Portabilis i-Educar 2.9.0, especially educational institutions managing student benefits, this vulnerability poses a risk of session hijacking, unauthorized actions, and data manipulation through XSS attacks. The exploitation could lead to unauthorized access to sensitive student data, manipulation of benefit records, or phishing attacks targeting staff and students. This could result in reputational damage, regulatory non-compliance (e.g., GDPR violations due to data exposure), and operational disruption. Since the vulnerability requires user interaction, social engineering could be leveraged to increase attack success. The lack of vendor response and patches increases the window of exposure. Organizations relying on this software should be aware that attackers might exploit this vulnerability to compromise user accounts or inject malicious content into the intranet portal, potentially spreading malware or stealing credentials.

Summary

CVE-2025-7109 is a cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability identified in version 2.9.0 of Portabilis i-Educar, an educational management system. The vulnerability exists in the Student Benefits Registration component, specifically in the /intranet/educar_aluno_beneficio_lst.php file. The issue arises due to improper sanitization or validation of the 'Benefício' parameter, which an attacker can manipulate to inject malicious scripts. This flaw allows an attacker to execute arbitrary JavaScript code in the context of the victim's browser when they access a crafted URL or page containing the malicious payload. The vulnerability is remotely exploitable without requiring authentication, but user interaction is necessary (e.g., clicking a malicious link). The CVSS 4.0 base score is 5.1, indicating a medium severity level. The attack vector is network-based with low attack complexity and no privileges required, but user interaction is needed. The vulnerability impacts confidentiality and integrity to a limited extent by potentially stealing session tokens, performing actions on behalf of the user, or defacing content. The vendor was notified but did not respond, and no patches or mitigations have been publicly released. Although no known exploits are currently in the wild, the public disclosure of the exploit code increases the risk of exploitation.
