Vulnerability Assessment
| Weakness |
CWE
ASVS 5.0
V6 - Authentication Incorrect use of privileged APIs
|
| Exploitation Conditions | The attacker must already hold a low-privileged authenticated session on the Nomysem application (PR:L), must induce a separate user to perform an interaction that completes the exploit (UI:R), and must satisfy non-trivial preconditions reflected by AC:H - typically a specific application state, timing window, or configuration that is not under the attacker's direct control. Exploitation is limited to deployments of NomySoft Nomysem at versions released through May 2025; the flaw is not reachable purely unauthenticated, not reachable without victim interaction, and the description does not name a specific feature toggle, so the precise vulnerable API surface should be verified against the USOM/vendor advisory before scoping mitigations. |
| Impact | The CVSS 3.1 vector AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H paints a nuanced picture: the issue is reachable over the network and yields full CIA impact, but it requires an authenticated low-privileged account, user interaction from a victim, and high attack complexity (meaning the attacker must win a race, satisfy preconditions, or rely on configuration the attacker does not control). No EPSS score, KEV listing, SSVC decision, or POC reference is included in the provided data, so probabilistic exploitation signals are absent rather than 'low' - that distinction matters. The realistic priority is moderate: a 7.1 base score with AC:H and UI:R typically indicates a real but not opportunistic flaw, more attractive for targeted abuse against known Nomysem deployments than for mass exploitation. Key data is missing - there is no vendor advisory text, no confirmed fix version, and no exploitation telemetry - so defenders should treat the severity as the upper bound until USOM/vendor details clarify the exact exploitation path. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker who has obtained or registered a low-privileged Nomysem account sends a crafted request that invokes a privileged backend API path, then lures an authenticated higher-privileged user (for example, by getting them to open a link or perform an action inside the application) to satisfy the UI:R requirement and complete the privilege escalation. On success, the attacker gains administrative-level capabilities within Nomysem, yielding full confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact over the application's data and functions. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, so this scenario is reconstructed from the CVSS vector rather than from observed tradecraft. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Jun 06, 2026
Privilege escalation in NomySoft Nomysem (versions through May 2025) allows remote attackers with low privileges to gain elevated rights by abusing improperly used privileged APIs. The CVSS 7.1 score reflects high attack complexity and required user interaction, and no public exploit identified at time of analysis tempers immediate risk despite the high impact ceiling.
RemediationAI
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis from the provided references; administrators should consult the USOM advisory at https://www.usom.gov.tr/bildirim/tr-25-0440 and the mirror at https://siberguvenlik.gov.tr/guvenlik-bildirimleri/detay/tr-25-0440 to obtain the fixed build directly from NomySoft, since the coordinated disclosure went through USOM. Until a patched version is confirmed, restrict the Nomysem application to trusted internal networks via firewall or VPN to neutralize the AV:N requirement (side effect: remote users lose direct access and require VPN onboarding), enforce least privilege by auditing and pruning low-privileged accounts so the PR:L precondition is harder to satisfy (side effect: legitimate self-service workflows may need re-provisioning), and disable or block any non-essential interactive features that could be used to satisfy the UI:R requirement against staff users (side effect: reduced functionality for end users). Increase monitoring for anomalous privileged API calls and role changes within Nomysem audit logs to detect exploitation attempts while a vendor fix is pending.
Affected ProductsAI
NomySoft Information Technology Training and Consulting Inc. Nomysem is affected in all versions through May 2025, per the NVD record. No CPE string was published in the source data, and no specific edition, module, or deployment mode is named. Vendor and national CERT advisories are published at https://www.usom.gov.tr/bildirim/tr-25-0440 and https://siberguvenlik.gov.tr/guvenlik-bildirimleri/detay/tr-25-0440, which are the authoritative references for confirming impacted builds.

Technical ContextAI · show details
Nomysem is a product from NomySoft Information Technology Training and Consulting Inc., a Turkish vendor whose advisory is coordinated through USOM (the Turkish National Computer Emergency Response Team). The root cause is CWE-648 (Incorrect Use of Privileged APIs), a weakness class in which an application invokes APIs that grant elevated capabilities without adequately restricting who can reach those code paths or how their inputs are validated. In practice this typically means a privileged operation (administrative function, system-level API call, or trusted backend method) is reachable from a lower-trust context, allowing a caller to perform actions outside their assigned role. No CPE strings were published in the input, so the precise component, language, or framework hosting the privileged API cannot be pinned down from the available intelligence.

DescriptionCVE.org
Incorrect Use of Privileged APIs vulnerability in NomySoft Information Technology Training and Consulting Inc. Nomysem allows Privilege Escalation.
This issue affects Nomysem: through May 2025.
Executive ViewAI
NomySoft Nomysem contains a privilege escalation vulnerability (CVE-2025-1161, CVSS 7.1) allowing authenticated users with low system privileges to escalate to elevated rights through API abuse. This impacts organizations relying on Nomysem for access controls, creating risk of unauthorized administrative actions, data access, and system compromise, particularly in environments where low-privilege accounts have broader usage patterns.
Pending vendor patch: (1) Enforce principle of least privilege-remove unnecessary account privileges and restrict API access to only required functions; (2) Implement network segmentation to limit lateral movement from compromised low-privilege accounts; (3) Enable detailed audit logging and alerting on all privilege escalation API calls and administrative actions; (4) Monitor for suspicious privilege elevation attempts; (5) Conduct access reviews to identify and remediate over-privileged accounts.
