CVE-2025-9687 is a medium-severity vulnerability affecting Portabilis i-Educar versions 2.0 through 2.10. The vulnerability arises from improper authorization controls in an unspecified function within the /module/HistoricoEscolar/processamentoApi file. This weakness allows an attacker to perform unauthorized actions remotely without requiring user interaction or prior authentication, as indicated by the CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/UI:N/PR:L). The vulnerability impacts confidentiality, integrity, and availability to a limited extent (VC:L/VI:L/VA:L), suggesting that while exploitation can lead to unauthorized access or manipulation, the scope and severity of the impact are moderate. The exploit code has been publicly disclosed, increasing the risk of exploitation, although no known active exploitation in the wild has been reported yet. The vulnerability is exploitable over the network with low attack complexity and no need for privileges or user interaction, making it accessible to a wide range of attackers. The affected component is part of the educational management system i-Educar, which is used for school administration and historical academic records processing. Improper authorization in this context could allow attackers to access or modify sensitive student data or administrative records, potentially leading to data breaches or disruption of educational services.

For European organizations, particularly educational institutions using Portabilis i-Educar, this vulnerability poses a risk of unauthorized data access and manipulation. The impact includes potential exposure of sensitive student information, alteration of academic records, and disruption of school administrative processes. Such breaches can lead to violations of data protection regulations like GDPR, resulting in legal and financial consequences. Additionally, compromised educational systems can undermine trust in public education infrastructure and cause operational downtime. Since the vulnerability can be exploited remotely without authentication, attackers could target multiple institutions simultaneously, amplifying the impact across the education sector. The medium severity suggests that while the threat is significant, it may not lead to full system compromise or widespread service outages but still requires prompt remediation to prevent escalation.

Organizations should immediately verify if they are running any affected versions of Portabilis i-Educar (2.0 to 2.10) and prioritize upgrading to a patched version once available. In the absence of an official patch, implement strict network-level access controls to restrict access to the /module/HistoricoEscolar/processamentoApi endpoint, limiting it to trusted IP addresses or internal networks only. Employ web application firewalls (WAFs) with custom rules to detect and block suspicious requests targeting this API module. Conduct thorough access control reviews and audits within the i-Educar system to identify and remediate any improper authorization configurations. Monitor logs for unusual access patterns or attempts to exploit this vulnerability. Additionally, educate administrative staff about the risk and ensure backups of critical data are maintained to enable recovery in case of data tampering. Collaborate with the vendor Portabilis for timely updates and security advisories.
