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

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

Immediate mitigation steps include implementing strict input validation and output encoding on the affected parameters ('name' and 'alias') within the Personal Profile Page component to neutralize malicious scripts. Organizations should apply any vendor patches promptly once released. Until then, deploying web application firewalls (WAFs) with custom rules to detect and block suspicious payloads targeting the vulnerable endpoint can reduce exposure. Security teams should conduct thorough code reviews and penetration testing focused on XSS vectors in O2OA deployments. User awareness training to recognize phishing attempts leveraging this vulnerability is also recommended. Additionally, restricting access to the affected endpoint through network segmentation or access control lists can limit attack surface. Monitoring logs for unusual requests to /x_processplatform_assemble_designer/jaxrs/process and anomalous user behavior can help detect exploitation attempts early. Finally, organizations should ensure that session management and authentication mechanisms are robust to minimize the impact of any successful XSS attacks.

Description

A security flaw has been discovered in O2OA up to 10.0-410. This affects an unknown part of the file /x_processplatform_assemble_designer/jaxrs/process of the component Personal Profile Page. Performing manipulation of the argument name/alias results in cross site scripting. Remote exploitation of the attack is possible. The exploit has been released to the public and may be exploited. The vendor replied in the GitHub issue (translated from simplified Chinese): "This issue will be fixed in the new version."

Impact

For European organizations using O2OA version 10.0-410 or earlier, this vulnerability poses a tangible risk to user security and data integrity. Successful exploitation could allow attackers to hijack user sessions, steal sensitive information, or perform unauthorized actions within the platform, potentially leading to data breaches or operational disruptions. Given that O2OA is a collaborative office automation platform, compromised accounts could expose internal communications, personal data, or business-critical workflows. The public availability of exploit code increases the likelihood of opportunistic attacks, especially targeting less security-aware users. This could also facilitate lateral movement within an organization's network if attackers leverage stolen credentials. The medium severity rating suggests moderate risk, but the real-world impact depends on the deployment scale and the sensitivity of data handled. European organizations must consider compliance implications under GDPR if personal data is exposed or compromised due to this vulnerability.

Summary

CVE-2025-9718 is a cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability identified in the O2OA platform, specifically affecting versions up to 10.0-410. The vulnerability resides in the Personal Profile Page component, within the /x_processplatform_assemble_designer/jaxrs/process endpoint. The flaw arises due to insufficient input validation or sanitization of the 'name' or 'alias' parameters, allowing an attacker to inject malicious scripts. When a victim accesses the manipulated page, the injected script executes in their browser context, potentially leading to session hijacking, credential theft, or unauthorized actions performed on behalf of the user. The vulnerability is remotely exploitable without requiring authentication, although it does require user interaction (the victim must visit the crafted URL or page). Public exploit code has been released, increasing the risk of exploitation. The CVSS v4.0 score is 5.1 (medium severity), reflecting the network attack vector, low complexity, no privileges required, but requiring user interaction and having limited impact on confidentiality and integrity. This vulnerability is typical of reflected or stored XSS flaws that can be leveraged for phishing, session hijacking, or delivering further malware payloads within the O2OA environment.
