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: 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

Exploitation evidence

CVE published 31 Jul 2025
Detectable: no evidence on record.
No public nuclei template indexed
Weaponised: evidence found.

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

No attack traffic recorded by OffSeq Mirage sensors

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 strict input validation and output encoding on the 'titulo_avaliacao' parameter to neutralize malicious scripts.
Deploy Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) with custom rules to detect and block XSS payloads targeting the vulnerable endpoint.
Educate users to avoid clicking on suspicious links and to report unusual behavior within the i-Educar portal.
Restrict access to the intranet portal to trusted networks and enforce HTTPS to prevent interception and injection of malicious content.
Monitor web server logs for unusual requests targeting /intranet/educar_avaliacao_desempenho_lst.php and anomalous query parameters.
If possible, isolate the vulnerable system from critical networks until a vendor patch or official fix is released.
Consider deploying Content Security Policy (CSP) headers to limit the execution of unauthorized scripts within the application context.
Engage with Portabilis or community forums to track any forthcoming patches or workarounds and apply them promptly.

Description

A vulnerability, which was classified as problematic, has been found in Portabilis i-Educar 2.9. This issue affects some unknown processing of the file /intranet/educar_avaliacao_desempenho_lst.php. The manipulation of the argument titulo_avaliacao leads to cross site scripting. The attack may be initiated 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, particularly educational institutions using Portabilis i-Educar 2.9, this vulnerability poses a tangible risk to the integrity and security of their intranet portals. Successful exploitation could allow attackers to execute arbitrary scripts in the context of authenticated users, leading to session hijacking, unauthorized actions, or the spread of malware. This could disrupt educational operations, erode trust among students and staff, and potentially expose sensitive educational data indirectly through social engineering or session theft. Given that i-Educar is an education management system, the impact extends to the confidentiality of student records and the integrity of academic evaluations. While the vulnerability does not directly compromise availability or confidentiality, the indirect effects of successful XSS attacks could be significant. The lack of vendor response and patch availability increases the window of exposure, making timely mitigation critical for European institutions relying on this software.
