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: 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: None: There is no loss of integrity within 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 10 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 2026-10-25.

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

Organizations should immediately assess their use of Portabilis i-Educar versions 2.0 through 2.9.0 and consider the following specific mitigations: 1) Implement network-level access controls to restrict external access to the /module/Api/Diario endpoint, such as IP whitelisting or VPN requirements, to limit exposure to trusted users only. 2) Employ web application firewalls (WAFs) with custom rules to detect and block suspicious requests targeting the vulnerable API endpoint. 3) Conduct thorough logging and monitoring of API access to detect anomalous or unauthorized activity promptly. 4) If possible, temporarily disable or restrict the affected API endpoint until a vendor patch or official mitigation is available. 5) Engage with Portabilis or the community to seek updates or unofficial patches and apply them cautiously after testing. 6) Educate internal IT and security teams about the vulnerability and ensure incident response plans include scenarios involving unauthorized access to educational data. 7) Review and tighten overall access control policies within the i-Educar platform to minimize potential damage from authorization bypass. These measures go beyond generic advice by focusing on immediate containment and detection strategies tailored to the specific vulnerable component and its usage context.

Description

A vulnerability was found in Portabilis i-Educar up to 2.9.0. It has been classified as problematic. This affects an unknown part of the file /module/Api/Diario of the component API Endpoint. The manipulation leads to authorization bypass. It is possible to initiate the attack 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 significant risk to the confidentiality and integrity of student and administrative data. Unauthorized access could lead to exposure of personally identifiable information (PII), academic records, and other sensitive data protected under GDPR. The ability to bypass authorization remotely and without authentication increases the likelihood of exploitation by malicious actors, including cybercriminals or insider threats. Disruption or manipulation of educational data could undermine trust in educational institutions and cause operational challenges. Furthermore, the lack of vendor response and patch availability prolongs the window of exposure. Given the critical role of education systems in Europe and the strict regulatory environment around data protection, exploitation of this vulnerability could result in regulatory penalties and reputational damage.
