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: Active: Successful exploitation of this vulnerability requires a targeted user to perform specific, conscious interactions with the vulnerable system and the attacker’s payload, or the user’s interactions would actively subvert protection mechanisms which would lead to exploitation of the vulnerability.
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: 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.

Exploitation evidence

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

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

To mitigate CVE-2025-7380 effectively, European organizations should implement a multi-layered approach: 1) Immediately restrict folder creation permissions to trusted administrators or users to limit the ability to inject malicious scripts. 2) Employ web application firewalls (WAFs) with custom rules to detect and block suspicious script payloads in HTTP requests targeting the ADM interface. 3) Monitor ADM logs for unusual folder creation activities or unexpected script content in folder names. 4) Educate users to avoid interacting with suspicious folder names or links within the ADM UI. 5) Where possible, apply input validation and output encoding at the application level to sanitize folder names, either by deploying custom scripts or requesting vendor patches. 6) Regularly check for and apply official ASUSTOR security updates once available. 7) Consider network segmentation to isolate ADM devices from less trusted network segments, reducing exposure. 8) Implement session management best practices such as short session timeouts and multi-factor authentication to reduce the impact of session hijacking attempts.

Description

A stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in the Access Control of ADM, the issue allows an attacker to inject malicious scripts into the folder name field while creating a new shared folder. These scripts are not properly sanitized and will be executed when the folder name is subsequently displayed in the user interface. This allows attackers to execute arbitrary JavaScript in the context of another user's session, potentially accessing session cookies or other sensitive data. Affected products and versions include: from ADM 4.1.0 to ADM 4.3.3.RH61 as well as ADM 5.0.0.RIN1 and earlier.

Impact

For European organizations utilizing ASUSTOR ADM for network-attached storage (NAS) solutions, this vulnerability poses a moderate risk. Exploitation could allow attackers to execute arbitrary JavaScript in the context of legitimate users, potentially leading to session hijacking, unauthorized access to sensitive data, or manipulation of the ADM interface. This is particularly concerning in sectors with stringent data protection requirements such as finance, healthcare, and government, where unauthorized data access or session compromise could lead to regulatory violations under GDPR and other privacy laws. Additionally, organizations with multiple users accessing shared folders are at higher risk, as the stored XSS payload would execute when any user views the folder name. While the vulnerability does not directly impact system availability, the potential for data leakage and unauthorized actions can disrupt business operations and erode trust in IT infrastructure security. The lack of known exploits in the wild reduces immediate urgency but does not eliminate the risk, especially as attackers may develop exploits once the vulnerability becomes public knowledge.
