Attack Vector: Network
Attack Complexity: Low
Attack Requirements: None
Privileges Required: None
User Interaction: None
Vulnerable system confidentiality: Low
Vulnerable system integrity: Low
Vulnerable system availability: Low
Subsequent system confidentiality: None
Subsequent system integrity: None
Subsequent system availability: None

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: 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: Low: Performance is reduced or there are interruptions in resource availability. Even if repeated exploitation of the vulnerability is possible, the attacker does not have the ability to completely deny service to legitimate users. The resources in the Vulnerable System are either partially available all of the time, or fully available only some of the time, but overall there is no direct, serious consequence to 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.

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 2026-10-26.

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.

What to do

AI-suggested

1. Immediate mitigation should include implementing network-level access controls to restrict access to the vulnerable PUT endpoint, such as IP whitelisting or VPN requirements, to limit exposure to trusted users only. 2. Employ Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) with custom rules to detect and block anomalous or unauthorized PUT requests targeting the uploads API path. 3. Monitor application logs closely for unusual or unauthorized access attempts to the uploads endpoint, enabling rapid detection and response. 4. Engage with RowboatLabs to obtain timely information on patches or updates addressing this vulnerability; prioritize testing and deployment of any forthcoming fixes. 5. As a temporary workaround, if feasible, disable or restrict the uploads API endpoint until a patch is available. 6. Conduct thorough security reviews of session handling and authentication mechanisms within the application to identify and remediate similar issues proactively. 7. Educate development and operations teams about the risks of missing authentication checks in API endpoints, emphasizing secure coding and review practices. 8. Implement multi-factor authentication and strong authorization checks for all sensitive API operations to reduce the risk of unauthorized access.

Description

A vulnerability was found in rowboatlabs rowboat up to 8096eaf63b5a0732edd8f812bee05b78e214ee97. It has been rated as critical. Affected by this issue is the function PUT of the file apps/rowboat/app/api/uploads/[fileId]/route.ts of the component Session Handler. The manipulation of the argument params leads to missing authentication. The attack may be launched remotely. Continious delivery with rolling releases is used by this product. Therefore, no version details of affected nor updated releases are available. It is expected that this issue will be fixed in the near future.

Impact

For European organizations using RowboatLabs' Rowboat product, this vulnerability poses a tangible risk of unauthorized access to file upload functionalities, potentially leading to unauthorized data manipulation, injection of malicious files, or disruption of service components relying on session handling. Given the unauthenticated nature of the exploit, attackers could leverage this vulnerability to compromise internal systems, exfiltrate sensitive data, or establish footholds for further attacks. Organizations in sectors with stringent data protection requirements, such as finance, healthcare, and government, could face regulatory repercussions under GDPR if exploited. Additionally, the ability to remotely exploit this vulnerability without authentication increases the risk of widespread automated attacks, especially if threat actors develop exploit tools. The continuous delivery model used by RowboatLabs means that organizations must be vigilant in tracking updates and patches, as the vulnerability may be fixed in future releases without clear versioning. This uncertainty complicates vulnerability management and patch deployment strategies. Overall, the vulnerability could undermine trust in affected applications, cause operational disruptions, and expose organizations to data breaches or compliance violations.
