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: High: The attacker requires privileges that provide significant (e.g., administrative) control over the vulnerable system allowing full access to the vulnerable system’s settings and files.
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

CVE published 2 Jun 2026

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 30 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.
Weaponized: A Metasploit exploit module or Exploit-DB entry exists (Metasploit scanner modules do not count), 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

The vendor has not responded to the issue report. Users should monitor the vendor's communications for updates or fixes. In the meantime, applying web application firewall (WAF) rules to detect and block XSS payloads targeting the Task Scheduling Management Module may provide some mitigation. Avoiding use or limiting access to the affected module until a fix is available is recommended.

Description

CVE-2026-10529 is a medium severity cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in westboy CicadasCMS, specifically in an unknown function within the Task Scheduling Management Module (ScheduleJobController.java). The vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute XSS attacks by manipulating input. The product uses a rolling release model, so exact affected or fixed versions are not clearly defined. No official patch or remediation has been provided by the vendor as of the publication date. Exploit code is publicly available, but no known widespread exploitation has been reported.

Impact

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability enables remote attackers to execute cross-site scripting attacks against users of the CicadasCMS Task Scheduling Management Module. This could lead to the execution of arbitrary scripts in the context of the affected web application, potentially resulting in session hijacking, defacement, or other client-side impacts. The CVSS vector indicates no impact on confidentiality, limited impact on integrity and availability, and requires user interaction with low complexity. No known active exploitation in the wild has been reported.

Summary

This vulnerability affects westboy CicadasCMS up to commit 2431154dac8d0735e04f1fd2a3c3556668fc8dab. It exists in an unspecified function of the Task Scheduling Management Module's ScheduleJobController.java file. The flaw allows remote attackers to perform cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks by injecting malicious input that is not properly sanitized or escaped. The vulnerability was reported early to the project, but no response or fix has been issued. The rolling release nature of the product means no specific version numbers are available to delineate affected or fixed releases. The CVSS 4.0 base score is 4.8 (medium), reflecting network attack vector, low attack complexity, and partial impact on integrity and availability.
