CVE-2025-10073

4.3 MEDIUM

📋 TL;DR

This vulnerability in Portabilis i-Educar allows unauthorized access to class information through the /module/Api/turma endpoint. Attackers can exploit this broken object level authorization (BOLA) to enumerate sensitive educational data. All i-Educar installations up to version 2.10 are affected.

💻 Affected Systems

Products:
  • Portabilis i-Educar
Versions: Up to and including 2.10
Operating Systems: Any OS running i-Educar
Default Config Vulnerable: ⚠️ Yes
Notes: All default installations are vulnerable. The vulnerability affects the API endpoint specifically.

📦 What is this software?

⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact

🔴

Worst Case

Unauthorized disclosure of all class information including student data, schedules, and educational records, potentially leading to privacy violations and data breaches.

🟠

Likely Case

Attackers enumerate class information and student details, compromising student privacy and potentially enabling further attacks.

🟢

If Mitigated

Limited information disclosure with proper access controls and monitoring in place.

🌐 Internet-Facing: HIGH - The vulnerability can be exploited remotely and the exploit is publicly disclosed.
🏢 Internal Only: MEDIUM - Internal attackers could still exploit this to access unauthorized data.

🎯 Exploit Status

Public PoC: ⚠️ Yes
Weaponized: UNKNOWN
Unauthenticated Exploit: ✅ No
Complexity: LOW

Exploit details are publicly available on GitHub. Attack requires some level of access but authorization bypass is straightforward.

🛠️ Fix & Mitigation

✅ Official Fix

Patch Version: Version 2.11 or later

Vendor Advisory: https://github.com/portabilis/i-educar

Restart Required: No

Instructions:

1. Update i-Educar to version 2.11 or later. 2. Apply the security patch from the official repository. 3. Verify the /module/Api/turma endpoint now properly validates authorization.

🔧 Temporary Workarounds

Restrict API Access

Linux

Implement network-level restrictions to limit access to the vulnerable API endpoint

iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 80 -m string --string "/module/Api/turma" --algo bm -j DROP
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 443 -m string --string "/module/Api/turma" --algo bm -j DROP

Implement API Gateway Controls

all

Add authorization checks at the API gateway level

🧯 If You Can't Patch

  • Implement strict access controls and monitoring for the /module/Api/turma endpoint
  • Deploy a web application firewall (WAF) with rules to detect and block BOLA attacks

🔍 How to Verify

Check if Vulnerable:

Test if unauthorized access to /module/Api/turma endpoint returns class information without proper authentication

Check Version:

Check i-Educar version in admin panel or configuration files

Verify Fix Applied:

Verify that accessing /module/Api/turma without proper authorization returns an access denied error

📡 Detection & Monitoring

Log Indicators:

  • Multiple unauthorized requests to /module/Api/turma
  • Access patterns showing enumeration of class IDs

Network Indicators:

  • Unusual API traffic to the turma endpoint
  • Sequential requests with different ID parameters

SIEM Query:

source="web_server" AND uri="/module/Api/turma" AND (response_code=200 OR response_code=403) | stats count by src_ip
