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

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).
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).
Availability: None: There is no impact to availability within the impacted component.
Confidentiality: High: There is total loss of confidentiality, resulting in all resources within the impacted component being divulged to the attacker. Alternatively, access to only some restricted information is obtained, but the disclosed information presents a direct, serious impact.
Integrity: None: There is no loss of integrity within the impacted component.
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.
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.
User Interaction: Required: Successful exploitation of this vulnerability requires a user to take some action before the vulnerability can be exploited.

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

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 26 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.
Weaponised: Public exploit code exists in Metasploit or Exploit-DB, 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

Until an official fix is available, avoid transmitting sensitive tokens via GET parameters. Consider using POST requests or other secure methods to transmit authentication tokens to prevent exposure in logs and histories.

Description

Sensitive server_token exposed via GET parameter in V2Board thru 1.7.4. In app/Http/Controllers/Server/UniProxyController.php, the server authentication token is accepted via GET parameter transmission. The token appears in URLs such as /api/v1/server/UniProxy/user?token=SECRET, causing it to be recorded in web server access logs, browser history, HTTP Referer headers, and proxy/CDN logs. An attacker who gains access to any log source can extract the token and impersonate a proxy server node, potentially intercepting all user traffic.

Impact

Exposure of the server authentication token through URLs leads to its presence in various logs and histories, creating multiple avenues for an attacker to obtain it. If an attacker gains access to these logs, they can impersonate a proxy server node, potentially intercepting all user traffic routed through that node. This compromises confidentiality but does not affect integrity or availability according to the CVSS vector.

Summary

The vulnerability in V2Board (up to version 1.7.4) involves the transmission of a sensitive server authentication token via a GET parameter in the UniProxyController.php file. Because the token is included in the URL, it is exposed in multiple logging mechanisms, increasing the risk of token leakage. An attacker who obtains the token from any log source can impersonate a proxy server node, which may allow interception of user traffic. The CVSS 3.1 vector indicates the attack requires high attack complexity, no privileges, no user interaction, and impacts confidentiality but not integrity or availability.

Variant weaknessOWASP Top 10 A06:2025: Insecure Design (opens in a new tab)
The web application uses an HTTP method to process a request, but the request includes sensitive information in the query string.
Implementation
When sending sensitive information, only include it in the request body or request headers instead of the query string. This may require avoiding use of GET requests.
