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: 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: 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

Disclosed: evidence found.
CVE published 9 Aug 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

Given the absence of an official patch, European organizations should implement immediate compensating controls. These include: 1) Input validation and output encoding at the web application firewall (WAF) or reverse proxy level to detect and block malicious payloads targeting the vulnerable parameters. 2) Deploy Content Security Policy (CSP) headers to restrict script execution and reduce the impact of XSS attacks. 3) Educate users to avoid clicking suspicious links and implement email filtering to reduce phishing risks. 4) Monitor web server logs for unusual parameter values or repeated access attempts to /intranet/educar_usuario_lst.php. 5) If feasible, restrict access to the intranet page to trusted IP ranges or via VPN to reduce exposure. 6) Plan for an upgrade or patch deployment once the vendor releases a fix. 7) Conduct regular security assessments and penetration testing focused on input validation weaknesses. These measures, combined, can reduce the risk until a vendor patch is available.

Description

A vulnerability, which was classified as problematic, has been found in Portabilis i-Educar up to 2.9. This issue affects some unknown processing of the file /intranet/educar_usuario_lst.php. The manipulation of the argument nm_pessoa/matricula/matricula_interna 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, this vulnerability poses a risk to the confidentiality and integrity of user data. Successful exploitation could allow attackers to steal session cookies, impersonate users, or execute unauthorized actions within the application. This could lead to unauthorized access to personal data of students and staff, potentially violating GDPR requirements and resulting in regulatory penalties. Furthermore, exploitation could undermine trust in the institution's IT systems and disrupt normal educational operations. While availability impact is limited, the reputational damage and compliance risks are significant. Since the vulnerability is remotely exploitable and requires no authentication, attackers could target multiple users via phishing or malicious links, increasing the threat surface. European organizations with limited IT security resources or lacking timely patch management processes are particularly vulnerable.
