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: High: The successful attack depends on the evasion or circumvention of security-enhancing techniques in place that would otherwise hinder the attack. These include: Evasion of exploit mitigation techniques, for example, circumvention of address space randomization (ASLR) or data execution prevention (DEP) must be performed for the attack to be successful; Obtaining target-specific secrets. The attacker must gather some target-specific secret before the attack can be successful. A secret is any piece of information that cannot be obtained through any amount of reconnaissance. To obtain the secret the attacker must perform additional attacks or break otherwise secure measures (e.g. knowledge of a secret key may be needed to break a crypto channel). This operation must be performed for each attacked target.
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: None: The vulnerable system can be exploited without interaction from any human user, other than the attacker.
Vulnerable system confidentiality: Low: There is some loss of confidentiality. Access to some restricted information is obtained, but the attacker does not have control over what information is obtained, or the amount or kind of loss is limited. The information disclosure does not cause a direct, serious loss to the Vulnerable System.
Vulnerable system integrity: None: There is no loss of integrity within 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

Detectable: no evidence on record.
No public nuclei template indexed

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

Given the lack of official patches from the vendor, organizations should implement several practical mitigations: 1) Restrict network access to the MineAdmin management interface by using firewalls, VPNs, or IP whitelisting to limit exposure to trusted users only. 2) Monitor and log access to the /system/getFileInfoById endpoint to detect unusual or unauthorized requests targeting the ID parameter. 3) Employ web application firewalls (WAFs) with custom rules to detect and block suspicious parameter manipulation attempts against this endpoint. 4) Conduct regular security assessments and penetration tests focusing on MineAdmin to identify any additional weaknesses. 5) If possible, isolate MineAdmin instances in segmented network zones to reduce the blast radius of potential exploitation. 6) Stay vigilant for vendor updates or community patches and apply them promptly once available. 7) Educate administrators about the vulnerability and encourage minimizing exposure of MineAdmin services to the internet. 8) Consider alternative administrative tools or upgrading to versions not affected by this vulnerability if feasible.

Description

CVE-2026-1196 is an information disclosure vulnerability affecting MineAdmin versions 1.x and 2.x. The flaw exists in the /system/getFileInfoById endpoint, where manipulation of the ID parameter can lead to unauthorized exposure of information. The vulnerability can be exploited remotely but requires a high level of complexity, making exploitation difficult. No user interaction or authentication is required, but the attack complexity and limited impact reduce its severity. The vendor has not responded to the disclosure, and no patches are currently available. Although the exploit has been publicly disclosed, there are no known active exploits in the wild. The CVSS 4.0 base score is low (2.

Impact

The primary impact of CVE-2026-1196 is unauthorized information disclosure, which could expose sensitive system or application data to remote attackers. While the confidentiality impact is low, the leaked information could potentially aid attackers in reconnaissance or facilitate further attacks if combined with other vulnerabilities. The high complexity required to exploit this vulnerability reduces the immediate risk, but the public availability of exploit details may increase attempts over time. Organizations relying on MineAdmin 1.x or 2.x may face risks to data confidentiality, especially if sensitive file metadata or system information is exposed. The absence of vendor patches means that affected organizations must rely on compensating controls. The vulnerability does not affect system integrity or availability, so direct disruption or data manipulation is unlikely. However, information disclosure can undermine trust and compliance, particularly in regulated industries. The impact is more significant for organizations with sensitive data managed through MineAdmin or those with exposed MineAdmin interfaces accessible over untrusted networks.
