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: 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.
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

Exploitation evidence

Disclosed: evidence found.
CVE published 25 Sep 2026
Detectable: no evidence on record.
No public nuclei template indexed
Weaponized: evidence found.

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), CVSS vector, the Metasploit, Exploit-DB and nuclei-templates index as of 9 Nov 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

Upgrade GibbonEdu Gibbon to version 31.0.00 or later, which includes the official fix for this missing authentication vulnerability. This upgrade fully mitigates the issue.

Description

A vulnerability has been found in GibbonEdu Gibbon up to 30.0.01. The affected element is the function makeBlock of the file modules/Planner/units_add_blockAjax.php of the component Unit Planner. The manipulation of the argument gibbonUnitBlockID/mode leads to missing authentication. The attack is possible to be carried out remotely. The exploit has been disclosed to the public and may be used. Upgrading to version 31.0.00 is sufficient to fix this issue. The identifier of the patch is 07e719368eae8dfb4e22e19424ceab6074164ebc. It is recommended to upgrade the affected component.

Impact

The vulnerability allows remote attackers to bypass authentication controls in the Unit Planner component of GibbonEdu Gibbon, potentially enabling unauthorized actions related to unit blocks. The CVSS 4.0 base score is 6.9 (medium), reflecting network attack vector, low complexity, no privileges or user interaction required, and low impact on confidentiality.

Summary

The vulnerability CVE-2026-97864 affects GibbonEdu Gibbon versions up to 30.0.01. It is caused by missing authentication checks in the makeBlock function within the Unit Planner module (modules/Planner/units_add_blockAjax.php). Attackers can remotely exploit this by manipulating the gibbonUnitBlockID/mode parameter, leading to unauthorized access or actions. The issue has been publicly disclosed, and a patch identified by commit 07e719368eae8dfb4e22e19424ceab6074164ebc is available in version 31.0.00.
