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: Required: Successful exploitation of this vulnerability requires a user to take some action before the vulnerability can be exploited.
Scope: Changed: An exploited vulnerability can affect resources beyond the security scope managed by the security authority of the vulnerable component. In this case, the vulnerable component and the impacted component are different and managed by different security authorities.
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 impacted component.
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 on the impacted component.
Availability: None: There is no impact to availability within the impacted component.

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 8 Nov 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.
Weaponized: A Metasploit exploit module or Exploit-DB entry exists (Metasploit scanner modules do not count), 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

Upgrade netdata to version 2.3.1 or later, which removes the vulnerable ilove endpoints. This update fully mitigates the vulnerability. No additional action is required if the system is already updated.

Description

CVE-2025-71385 is a reflected cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in netdata versions before 2.3.1. The vulnerability occurs because the user-supplied 'love' query parameter in the /api/v2/ilove.svg and /api/v3/ilove.svg endpoints is included verbatim in the generated SVG document without proper escaping. These endpoints are accessible without authentication by default, allowing attackers to craft malicious URLs that execute scripts in the victim's browser within the netdata origin. The issue was fixed by removing the vulnerable ilove endpoints in version 2.3.1.

Impact

An attacker can execute arbitrary JavaScript in the context of the netdata web interface by tricking a victim into visiting a crafted URL containing malicious script code in the 'love' parameter. This can lead to information disclosure or session manipulation within the netdata origin. The vulnerability affects unauthenticated users due to default endpoint accessibility and lack of bearer-token protection.

Summary

Netdata versions prior to 2.3.1 contain a reflected cross-site scripting vulnerability in the ilove.svg endpoints (/api/v2/ilove.svg and /api/v3/ilove.svg). The 'love' query parameter is reflected without HTML or XML escaping into an SVG text element and served with Content-Type image/svg+xml. Because these endpoints are accessible anonymously and bearer-token protection is disabled by default, attackers can exploit this by crafting URLs that execute arbitrary scripts in the context of the netdata instance. The vulnerability was resolved by removing the ilove endpoints in version 2.3.1.
