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
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 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 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

1. Immediate mitigation should focus on input validation and output encoding: Organizations should implement strict sanitization of all user-supplied inputs related to the affected parameters (description, applicationName, queryName) to neutralize malicious scripts. 2. Employ Content Security Policy (CSP) headers to restrict the execution of unauthorized scripts in browsers, thereby reducing the impact of potential XSS attacks. 3. Educate users about the risks of clicking on suspicious links or interacting with untrusted content within the O2OA environment to reduce successful exploitation via social engineering. 4. Monitor web application logs and user activity for unusual behavior indicative of XSS exploitation attempts. 5. Apply the vendor’s patch promptly once released; track the vendor’s GitHub repository or official channels for updates. 6. If patching is delayed, consider deploying web application firewalls (WAFs) with custom rules to detect and block malicious payloads targeting the vulnerable endpoints. 7. Review and tighten user privilege assignments since the CVSS vector indicates some privileges are required; minimizing privileges reduces attack surface. 8. Conduct regular security assessments and penetration testing focused on web application vulnerabilities to identify and remediate similar issues proactively.

Description

A weakness has been identified in O2OA up to 10.0-410. This affects an unknown function of the file /x_query_assemble_designer/jaxrs/table of the component Personal Profile Page. This manipulation of the argument description/applicationName/queryName causes cross site scripting. The attack may be initiated remotely. The exploit has been made available to the public and could 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, particularly those deploying version 10.0-410 or earlier, this vulnerability poses a tangible risk to user security and data integrity. The XSS flaw can be exploited to execute malicious scripts in the browsers of authenticated users, potentially leading to session hijacking, unauthorized actions within the application, or phishing attacks that could compromise user credentials. This can undermine trust in the platform, lead to data leakage, and facilitate further attacks within the network. Given that O2OA is a collaborative office automation platform, often used for internal communication and document management, exploitation could expose sensitive corporate information or disrupt business workflows. The requirement for user interaction means that social engineering or phishing campaigns could be used to lure users into triggering the exploit. Although the vulnerability does not directly impact system availability or cause data corruption, the indirect consequences of compromised user accounts or stolen credentials could be severe. Organizations in sectors with strict data protection regulations, such as finance, healthcare, or government, may face compliance risks if such an exploit leads to data breaches. The public availability of exploit code increases the urgency for mitigation, as less skilled attackers can leverage existing tools to exploit the vulnerability.
