CVE-2026-2015 identifies an improper authorization vulnerability in the Portabilis i-Educar platform, specifically in the FinalStatusImportService.php file within the Final Status Import component. The flaw arises from insufficient validation of the school_id parameter, which an attacker can manipulate remotely to bypass authorization controls. This allows unauthorized users to perform actions or access data intended only for privileged users, potentially compromising the confidentiality and integrity of educational records. The vulnerability does not require user interaction or prior authentication, increasing its exploitability. The vendor was notified early but has not provided any patches or mitigation guidance, and no known exploits have been observed in the wild yet. The CVSS 4.0 vector indicates network attack vector, low attack complexity, no privileges or user interaction required, and low impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability, resulting in a medium severity rating of 5.3. The affected versions include all releases up to 2.10, which suggests a broad exposure for organizations using this software. Given the nature of the platform—used for managing educational data—successful exploitation could lead to unauthorized data access or manipulation, undermining trust and compliance with data protection regulations.

For European organizations, particularly educational institutions using Portabilis i-Educar, this vulnerability poses a risk of unauthorized access to sensitive student and school data. Exploitation could lead to data breaches, manipulation of academic records, or disruption of educational services. This may result in reputational damage, regulatory penalties under GDPR for improper data handling, and operational impacts due to compromised data integrity. Since the vulnerability can be exploited remotely without authentication, attackers could leverage it to gain footholds in networks or escalate privileges. The lack of vendor response and patches increases the window of exposure. Educational institutions in Europe often handle large volumes of personal data, making this vulnerability a significant concern for data privacy and security compliance. Additionally, disruption or manipulation of educational data could affect students’ academic progress and institutional reporting.

In the absence of an official patch, European organizations should implement compensating controls immediately. These include restricting network access to the i-Educar platform by implementing firewall rules and VPN requirements to limit exposure to trusted users and networks. Conduct thorough access control reviews to ensure that only authorized personnel have permissions related to the Final Status Import functionality. Implement monitoring and alerting for unusual or unauthorized access patterns involving the school_id parameter or related API endpoints. Employ web application firewalls (WAFs) to detect and block suspicious parameter tampering attempts. Regularly audit logs for signs of exploitation attempts. Engage in network segmentation to isolate the i-Educar system from other critical infrastructure. Prepare incident response plans specifically for potential exploitation scenarios. Finally, maintain communication with the vendor and community for updates or patches and plan for prompt deployment once available.
