Bold values are the worst case: easiest to exploit or largest impact.

Attack Vector: Network: The vulnerable component is bound to the network stack and the set of possible attackers extends beyond the other options listed, 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: A successful attack depends on conditions beyond the attacker's control. That is, a successful attack cannot be accomplished at will, but requires the attacker to invest in some measurable amount of effort in preparation or execution against the vulnerable component before a successful attack can be expected. For example, a successful attack may require an attacker to: gather knowledge about the environment in which the vulnerable target/component exists; prepare the target environment to improve exploit reliability; or inject themselves into the logical network path between the target and the resource requested by the victim in order to read and/or modify network communications (e.g., a man in the middle attack).
Privileges Required: None: The attacker is unauthorized prior to attack, and therefore does not require any access to settings or files to carry out an attack.
User Interaction: Required: Successful exploitation of this vulnerability requires a user to take some action before the vulnerability can be exploited.
Scope: Unchanged: An exploited vulnerability can only affect resources managed by the same security authority. In this case, the vulnerable component and the impacted component are either the same, or both are managed by the same security authority.
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 impacted component.
Integrity: High: There is a total loss of integrity, or a complete loss of protection. For example, the attacker is able to modify any/all files protected by the impacted component. Alternatively, only some files can be modified, but malicious modification would present a direct, serious consequence to the impacted component.
Availability: None: There is no impact to availability within the impacted component.

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.

What to do

AI-suggested

1. Upgrade all Qwik framework instances to version 1.12.0 or later immediately to apply the official patch fixing the isContentType parsing issue. 2. Implement strict CSRF protection mechanisms beyond relying solely on Content-Type header parsing, including the use of anti-CSRF tokens (e.g., synchronizer tokens or double-submit cookies) in all state-changing requests. 3. Validate and sanitize Content-Type headers rigorously on the server side to prevent malformed or malicious headers from bypassing security controls. 4. Educate developers on secure coding practices related to HTTP header parsing and CSRF defenses within JavaScript frameworks. 5. Conduct security testing and code reviews focusing on request validation and CSRF protections in applications using Qwik. 6. Monitor web application logs for unusual or suspicious request patterns that may indicate attempted CSRF exploitation. 7. Employ Content Security Policy (CSP) headers to reduce the risk of malicious script execution that could facilitate CSRF attacks. 8. Encourage user awareness campaigns to reduce the risk of social engineering that leads to user interaction with malicious sites.

Description

CVE-2026-25155 is a medium severity Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerability in the Qwik JavaScript framework versions prior to 1.12.0. The flaw stems from a typo in the regular expression used by the isContentType function, causing improper parsing of certain Content-Type headers. This parsing error can be exploited by attackers to craft malicious requests that bypass normal CSRF protections, potentially leading to unauthorized actions with high integrity impact but low confidentiality and no availability impact. The vulnerability requires user interaction and remote network access but no authentication. Although no known exploits are reported in the wild, organizations using vulnerable Qwik versions should upgrade to 1.12.0 or later. European organizations that heavily rely on Qwik for web applications, especially in countries with significant software development ecosystems, are at risk.

Impact

For European organizations, the impact of this vulnerability can be significant in environments where Qwik is used to build interactive web applications that handle sensitive user actions or data. Successful exploitation could allow attackers to perform unauthorized state-changing operations on behalf of authenticated users, potentially leading to data corruption, unauthorized transactions, or configuration changes. While confidentiality impact is low, the integrity compromise can disrupt business processes or damage trust in web services. The lack of availability impact means services remain operational but potentially manipulated. Given the medium severity and the requirement for user interaction, the threat is more relevant in scenarios with high user engagement and where social engineering can be effective. Organizations in sectors such as finance, e-commerce, and public services that rely on Qwik-based applications should be particularly vigilant. Failure to patch could expose these organizations to targeted attacks, especially in the context of increasing web application threats in Europe.

The web application does not, or cannot, sufficiently verify whether a request was intentionally provided by the user who sent the request, which could have originated from an unauthorized actor.
Architecture and Design · Libraries or Frameworks
Use a vetted library or framework that does not allow this weakness to occur or provides constructs that make this weakness easier to avoid.
Implementation
Ensure that the application is free of cross-site scripting issues (CWE-79), because most CSRF defenses can be bypassed using attacker-controlled script.
Architecture and Design
Generate a unique nonce for each form, place the nonce into the form, and verify the nonce upon receipt of the form. Be sure that the nonce is not predictable (CWE-330).
