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: None: The attacker is unauthorized prior to attack, and therefore does not require any access to settings or files of the vulnerable system to carry out an attack.
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

Definitions: FIRST CVSS v4.0 specification.

Exploitation evidence

Disclosed: evidence found.
CVE published 8 Feb 2026
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 2026-10-25.

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

To mitigate CVE-2026-2160, organizations should immediately implement strict input validation on the 'Title' parameter within the /tourism/classes/Master.php?f=save_package endpoint, ensuring that all user-supplied data is sanitized to remove or encode potentially malicious characters. Employ context-aware output encoding (e.g., HTML entity encoding) before rendering user inputs in web pages to prevent script execution. If patching is not yet available, consider deploying a web application firewall (WAF) with custom rules to detect and block common XSS payloads targeting this parameter. Conduct thorough code reviews and security testing on all user input handling functions to identify and remediate similar vulnerabilities. Educate users and administrators about the risks of clicking untrusted links or submitting unverified data. Monitor web server logs for suspicious activity related to the vulnerable endpoint. Finally, maintain regular backups and prepare incident response plans to quickly address any exploitation attempts.

Description

A vulnerability has been found in SourceCodester Simple Responsive Tourism Website 1.0. Affected by this vulnerability is an unknown functionality of the file /tourism/classes/Master.php?f=save_package. The manipulation of the argument Title leads to cross site scripting. The attack can be initiated remotely. The exploit has been disclosed to the public and may be used.

Impact

The primary impact of CVE-2026-2160 is the potential for attackers to execute arbitrary JavaScript in users’ browsers, leading to session hijacking, theft of sensitive information such as cookies or credentials, and defacement of the affected website. This can erode user trust and damage the reputation of organizations using the vulnerable software. Although the vulnerability does not directly compromise backend systems or data confidentiality at the server level, the indirect effects on user data and integrity can be significant. The requirement for user interaction limits the attack scope but does not eliminate risk, especially in environments with high user traffic or where social engineering can be leveraged. Organizations relying on this tourism website software may face increased phishing risks or unauthorized actions performed in the context of authenticated users. The absence of a patch means the vulnerability may persist until fixed, increasing exposure time. Overall, the impact is moderate but can escalate if combined with other vulnerabilities or poor security practices.
