CVE-2025-10968 is a vulnerability classified under CWE-89 (Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command, commonly known as SQL Injection) affecting GG Soft Software Services Inc.'s PaperWork software versions from 6.1.0.9390 before 6.1.0.9398. The vulnerability stems from insufficient sanitization of user-supplied input within SQL queries constructed by the application, specifically in the context of Hibernate ORM usage. This flaw enables an attacker with low privileges (PR:L) to perform Blind SQL Injection attacks remotely (AV:N) without requiring user interaction (UI:N). Exploiting this vulnerability allows an attacker to execute arbitrary SQL commands on the backend database, potentially leading to unauthorized data disclosure (C:H), data modification (I:H), and disruption of service (A:H). The vulnerability is rated with a CVSS 3.1 base score of 8.8, indicating high severity. Although no public exploits are currently known, the nature of SQL Injection vulnerabilities and the low complexity of exploitation make it a critical risk. The affected product, PaperWork, is used for document management and workflow automation, meaning exploitation could compromise sensitive business data and operational continuity. The vulnerability was reserved on 2025-09-25 and published on 2025-11-07, with no patches publicly available yet, emphasizing the need for immediate risk mitigation steps.

For European organizations, exploitation of CVE-2025-10968 could lead to severe consequences including unauthorized access to sensitive corporate and personal data, alteration or deletion of critical business records, and potential service outages affecting business operations. Given PaperWork's role in document and workflow management, a successful attack could disrupt business continuity, lead to regulatory non-compliance (e.g., GDPR violations due to data breaches), and damage organizational reputation. The high confidentiality, integrity, and availability impacts mean that attackers could exfiltrate confidential information, corrupt data integrity, or cause denial of service. This is particularly critical for sectors such as finance, healthcare, government, and manufacturing where PaperWork might be integrated into core processes. The lack of known exploits currently provides a window for proactive defense, but the vulnerability's characteristics suggest it could be weaponized quickly once exploit code is developed.

1. Immediate mitigation involves applying vendor patches as soon as they become available for PaperWork versions 6.1.0.9390 up to 6.1.0.9398. 2. Until patches are released, restrict network access to PaperWork interfaces to trusted internal networks and implement strict firewall rules to limit exposure. 3. Employ Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) with custom rules to detect and block SQL Injection attempts targeting PaperWork. 4. Conduct thorough input validation and sanitization on all user inputs interacting with the database, especially those handled via Hibernate ORM. 5. Review and minimize database user privileges used by PaperWork to the least necessary, preventing escalation of impact if exploited. 6. Monitor logs and alerts for unusual database queries or application behavior indicative of SQL Injection attempts. 7. Educate development and security teams about secure coding practices related to SQL query construction and ORM usage. 8. Prepare incident response plans specific to SQL Injection scenarios to enable rapid containment and recovery.
