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: 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.

Exploitation evidence

Disclosed: evidence found.
CVE published 16 Mar 2026
Detectable: no evidence on record.
No public nuclei template indexed
Weaponized: 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

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 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

To mitigate CVE-2026-3111, organizations should immediately implement strict access control checks on the '/archivos/usuarios/[ID]/[username]/thumb_AAxAA.jpg' endpoint to ensure only authorized users can access profile photos. This includes validating the requesting user's identity and permissions before serving images. Employing token-based or session-based authentication mechanisms to restrict access is essential. Additionally, rate limiting and anomaly detection can help identify and block automated scraping attempts. Organizations should monitor access logs for suspicious URL manipulation patterns. If possible, temporarily disabling public access to profile photos until a patch is available can reduce exposure. Educativa should be contacted to obtain or request an official patch or update addressing this vulnerability. User awareness campaigns about phishing and social engineering risks related to exposed images can also reduce downstream impact. Finally, consider implementing privacy-preserving measures such as watermarking images or limiting photo resolution to reduce misuse.

Description

Insecure Direct Object Reference (IDOR) vulnerability in Campus Educativa specifically at the endpoint '/archivos/usuarios/[ID]/[username]/thumb_AAxAA.jpg' (translated as 80x90 and 40x45). Successful exploitation of this vulnerability could allow an unauthenticated attacker to access the profile photos of all users via a manipulated URL, enabling them to collect user photos en masse. This could lead to these photos being used maliciously to impersonate identities, perform social engineering, link identities across platforms using facial recognition, or even carry out doxxing.

Impact

The primary impact of CVE-2026-3111 is the unauthorized disclosure of user profile photos, which compromises user privacy and can facilitate further attacks. Organizations using Educativa Campus version 14.05.00-35 risk mass leakage of sensitive biometric data (user images), which can be exploited for identity theft, social engineering, and doxxing. This can damage user trust and lead to reputational harm, especially for educational institutions managing sensitive student and staff data. While the vulnerability does not directly affect system integrity or availability, the confidentiality breach can have cascading effects, including targeted phishing campaigns or harassment. The ease of exploitation without authentication increases the likelihood of automated scraping attacks. Organizations may also face regulatory compliance issues related to data protection laws such as GDPR or CCPA if personal data is exposed. The impact is particularly critical for institutions with large user bases or those in regions with strict privacy regulations.

The product does not restrict or incorrectly restricts access to a resource from an unauthorized actor.
MITRE discourages mapping vulnerabilities to this broad entry; the root cause is usually a more specific weakness.
Architecture and Design · Operation
Very carefully manage the setting, management, and handling of privileges. Explicitly manage trust zones in the software.
Architecture and Design · Separation of Privilege
Compartmentalize the system to have "safe" areas where trust boundaries can be unambiguously drawn. Do not allow sensitive data to go outside of the trust boundary and always be careful when interfacing with a compartment outside of the safe area.
