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 31 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

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

To mitigate CVE-2025-9723, organizations should immediately review and apply any available patches or updates from Portabilis addressing this vulnerability. In the absence of official patches, administrators should implement strict input validation and output encoding on the nm_tipo parameter to neutralize malicious scripts. Employing Content Security Policy (CSP) headers can help restrict the execution of unauthorized scripts in browsers. Restricting access to the /intranet/educar_tipo_regime_cad.php endpoint to trusted users and networks reduces exposure. User awareness training to recognize phishing attempts and suspicious links is critical, given the need for user interaction in exploitation. Regular security audits and web application firewall (WAF) rules tailored to detect and block XSS payloads targeting this parameter can provide additional defense layers. Monitoring logs for unusual requests to the affected endpoint can help detect exploitation attempts early. Finally, organizations should consider isolating critical educational management systems from public internet access where feasible.

Description

A vulnerability was found in Portabilis i-Educar up to 2.10. This affects an unknown function of the file /intranet/educar_tipo_regime_cad.php. Performing manipulation of the argument nm_tipo results in cross site scripting. The attack can be initiated remotely. The exploit has been made public and could be used.

Impact

For European organizations, particularly educational institutions using Portabilis i-Educar, this vulnerability poses risks of unauthorized script execution within user sessions. Attackers could leverage this to steal session cookies, impersonate users, or conduct phishing campaigns targeting students, teachers, or administrators. While the direct impact on system availability is minimal, the compromise of user credentials or sensitive educational data could lead to reputational damage, regulatory non-compliance (e.g., GDPR), and potential data breaches. The medium severity score indicates a moderate risk, but the presence of public exploits increases the likelihood of targeted attacks. Organizations relying on i-Educar for managing student records, grades, or administrative functions may face operational disruptions if attackers exploit this vulnerability to manipulate data or gain unauthorized access. The educational sector’s increasing digitalization in Europe makes this a relevant threat, especially in countries with higher adoption of this platform or similar software.

Summary

CVE-2025-9723 identifies a cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the Portabilis i-Educar platform, a widely used open-source educational management system. The flaw exists in the /intranet/educar_tipo_regime_cad.php file, where the nm_tipo parameter is improperly sanitized, allowing an attacker to inject malicious JavaScript code. This vulnerability can be exploited remotely without authentication, requiring only that a victim user interacts with a crafted URL or input. The attack vector is network-based with low attack complexity, no privileges required, but user interaction is necessary to trigger the payload. The impact primarily affects confidentiality and integrity by enabling attackers to execute scripts in the context of the victim’s browser, potentially leading to session hijacking, credential theft, or phishing attacks. The vulnerability does not affect availability and has no scope change. The CVSS 4.0 base score of 5.1 reflects these characteristics. Although no active exploitation has been reported, public proof-of-concept exploit code is available, increasing the risk of future attacks. The vulnerability affects all i-Educar versions from 2.0 through 2.10, necessitating urgent attention from administrators. Given the platform’s use in educational institutions, the threat could disrupt user trust and data privacy within school management systems.
