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: Low: The attacker requires privileges that provide basic capabilities that are typically limited to settings and resources owned by a single low-privileged user. Alternatively, an attacker with Low privileges has the ability to access only non-sensitive resources.
User Interaction: None: The vulnerable system can be exploited without interaction from any human user, other than the attacker.
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.

Exploitation evidence

Disclosed: evidence found.
CVE published 5 May 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

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.

Description

### Summary The application fails to validate the ```nick``` parameter during a ```POST``` request to the ```EditUser``` controller. Although the UI prevents editing this field, a user can bypass this restriction using a proxy to rename any account (including the Administrator). This leads to Broken Access Control and potential Audit Log Corruption. ### Details The vulnerability exists in the user update logic. When a ```POST``` request is sent to ```/EditUser```, the backend processes the ```nick``` form-data parameter without checking if it matches the original value or if the user has the privilege to change a unique identifier that is intended to be immutable. ### PoC ***1.*** Log in to the dashboard as any user (e.g. admin user). ***2.*** Go to your Profile by clicking your username/avatar in the top right. ***3.*** Open Burp Suite and ensure Intercept is ON. ***5.*** Click the Save button in the UI. ***6.*** In Burp Suite, locate ```nick``` in the body: <img width="1915" height="1013" alt="Screenshot_2026-03-04_05_26_32" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/aea4e6fd-beba-4a47-96da-8b9bd9075681" /> ***7.*** Change the value admin to Vulnerable (or any other string). ***8.*** Click Forward in Burp Suite. The application will log the user out. It is possible to now log back in using the username "Vulnerable" and the original password. ### Impact An attacker can effectively sabotage the system’s audit trail, performing malicious actions and then renaming their account to evade detection or frame other users. This breakdown in accountability facilitates identity impersonation and risks data corruption, as internal references to the original username become orphaned, undermining the overall integrity of the multi-user environment. ### Result #### Before <img width="1920" height="996" alt="Screenshot_2026-03-04_05_25_30" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/3b2d34e5-a2b9-4da9-9a56-963fe1a8fd65" /> #### After <img width="1920" height="955" alt="Screenshot_2026-03-04_05_27_00" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/af1de0ef-2b55-4d29-9557-29ee26a3775a" />

CWE-284Improper Access Control (opens in a new tab)
Pillar weaknessCWE Top 25 (2025): #19OWASP Top 10 A01:2025: Broken Access Control (opens in a new tab)
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.

Base weaknessOWASP Top 10 A06:2025: Insecure Design (opens in a new tab)
The web application does not sufficiently verify inputs that are assumed to be immutable but are actually externally controllable, such as hidden form fields.
Implementation · Input Validation
Assume all input is malicious. Use an "accept known good" input validation strategy, i.e., use a list of acceptable inputs that strictly conform to specifications. Reject any input that does not strictly conform to specifications, or transform it into something that does.
Implementation · Input Validation
Inputs should be decoded and canonicalized to the application's current internal representation before being validated (CWE-180). Make sure that the application does not decode the same input twice (CWE-174).
