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: evidence found.

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), 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

Organizations should prioritize applying patches or updates from Portabilis as soon as they become available for versions 2.0 through 2.10. In the absence of official patches, immediate mitigation steps include implementing robust input validation and output encoding on the nm_tipo parameter to neutralize malicious scripts. Web application firewalls (WAFs) can be configured to detect and block typical XSS payloads targeting this parameter. Additionally, enforcing Content Security Policy (CSP) headers can reduce the impact of successful XSS by restricting script execution sources. Regular security awareness training for users can help mitigate the risk of social engineering attacks leveraging this vulnerability. Monitoring web server logs for suspicious requests targeting /intranet/educar_tipo_ensino_cad.php and unusual user activity can aid in early detection of exploitation attempts. Finally, organizations should review session management practices to limit the damage from session hijacking, such as implementing short session timeouts and multi-factor authentication where feasible.

Description

A flaw has been found in Portabilis i-Educar up to 2.10. Affected by this vulnerability is an unknown functionality of the file /intranet/educar_tipo_ensino_cad.php. Executing manipulation of the argument nm_tipo can lead to cross site scripting. The attack can be executed remotely. The exploit has been published and may be used.

Impact

For European organizations using Portabilis i-Educar, particularly educational institutions and administrative bodies relying on this platform for managing educational data, this vulnerability poses a risk of unauthorized access to user sessions and potential data leakage. Attackers exploiting this XSS flaw could hijack user sessions, leading to unauthorized access to sensitive student or staff information, manipulation of educational records, or unauthorized actions within the system. Given the nature of educational data, this could result in privacy violations and regulatory non-compliance under GDPR. The medium severity suggests that while the vulnerability is not critical, it still represents a significant risk, especially in environments where users have elevated privileges or where the platform is integrated with other critical systems. The remote exploitability and published proof-of-concept increase the urgency for mitigation to prevent targeted attacks or broader exploitation campaigns.
