CVE-2025-9609 is a medium-severity vulnerability identified in the Portabilis i-Educar platform, affecting all versions up to and including 2.10. The vulnerability arises from improper authorization controls in the /educacenso/consulta endpoint, which allows remote attackers to bypass intended access restrictions. Although the exact code details are unspecified, the flaw permits unauthorized access to potentially sensitive educational data or administrative functions. The vulnerability requires no user interaction and can be exploited remotely without authentication, increasing its risk profile. The CVSS 4.0 base score is 5.3, reflecting a moderate impact with low attack complexity and no privileges required. The vulnerability does not affect system confidentiality, integrity, or availability at a critical level but does allow unauthorized data access or manipulation, which could lead to privacy violations or data leakage within educational institutions using i-Educar. While no public exploit is currently known to be actively used in the wild, the existence of a public exploit increases the urgency for remediation. The vulnerability is present in a widely deployed educational management system used primarily in Brazil but also in some European educational institutions that have adopted the platform or its derivatives.

For European organizations, particularly educational institutions or government bodies using Portabilis i-Educar, this vulnerability poses a risk of unauthorized data access or manipulation. This could lead to exposure of sensitive student records, administrative data, or other confidential information, potentially violating GDPR and other data protection regulations. The improper authorization flaw could undermine trust in the affected institutions and result in reputational damage, regulatory fines, and operational disruptions. Since the vulnerability can be exploited remotely without authentication, attackers could leverage it to gain unauthorized access from outside the network perimeter, increasing the threat surface. The impact is especially significant for institutions managing large volumes of personal data or those integrated with other critical educational services. Additionally, the vulnerability could be leveraged as a foothold for further attacks if combined with other weaknesses.

Organizations should prioritize upgrading Portabilis i-Educar to a version beyond 2.10 once a patch is released by the vendor. In the absence of an official patch, administrators should implement strict network segmentation to restrict access to the /educacenso/consulta endpoint, allowing only trusted internal IP addresses or VPN connections. Employing web application firewalls (WAFs) with custom rules to detect and block unauthorized access attempts targeting this endpoint can provide temporary protection. Conduct thorough access control reviews and audits to ensure that authorization policies are correctly enforced across the platform. Monitoring logs for unusual or unauthorized access patterns to the vulnerable endpoint is critical for early detection. Additionally, organizations should educate staff about the vulnerability and enforce strong operational security practices to reduce risk exposure. Finally, consider deploying intrusion detection/prevention systems (IDS/IPS) tuned to detect exploitation attempts of this vulnerability.
