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: 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.
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 27 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.

AI-suggested

European organizations should immediately upgrade Engeman Web installations to version 12.0.0.3 or later to remediate the vulnerability. Until patching is complete, implement web application firewalls (WAFs) with custom rules to detect and block suspicious cookie manipulations targeting the LanguageCombobox parameter. Conduct thorough input validation and sanitization audits on all user-supplied data, especially cookies, to prevent similar injection flaws. Monitor logs for unusual SQL errors or anomalous requests to the /Login/RecoveryPass endpoint. Restrict access to the password recovery functionality to trusted networks where feasible. Employ database activity monitoring to detect unauthorized queries. Engage in proactive vulnerability management and ensure vendor communication channels are monitored for updates. Finally, conduct security awareness training to recognize and respond to potential exploitation attempts.

Description

A vulnerability has been found in Engeman Web up to 12.0.0.2. The affected element is an unknown function of the file /Login/RecoveryPass of the component Password Recovery Page. The manipulation of the argument LanguageCombobox as part of Cookie leads to sql injection. The attack is possible to be carried out remotely. The exploit has been disclosed to the public and may be used. Upgrading to version 12.0.0.3 is sufficient to fix this issue. Upgrading the affected component is advised. The vendor was contacted early about this disclosure but did not respond in any way.

Impact

For European organizations, this vulnerability poses significant risks including unauthorized data access, data manipulation, and potential service outages. Organizations handling sensitive personal data, financial records, or critical operational information stored in Engeman Web databases could face confidentiality breaches and integrity violations. This could lead to regulatory non-compliance under GDPR, reputational damage, and financial losses. The remote, unauthenticated nature of the exploit means attackers can target systems over the internet without needing insider access, increasing the attack surface. If exploited in critical infrastructure or government systems using Engeman Web, the impact could extend to operational disruptions. The medium severity rating suggests a serious but not catastrophic threat, emphasizing the need for timely patching and monitoring.
