CVE-2025-11944 is a SQL injection vulnerability identified in the givanz Vvveb web development tool, affecting versions 1.0.7.0 through 1.0.7.3. The vulnerability resides in the Import function located in the admin/controller/tools/import.php file, which includes a component termed the Raw SQL Handler. This component improperly sanitizes or validates input, allowing an attacker with authenticated high privileges to inject arbitrary SQL commands remotely. The injection flaw can be exploited without user interaction, enabling attackers to manipulate database queries to read, modify, or delete data, potentially compromising the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the backend database. The CVSS 4.0 score is 5.1 (medium severity), reflecting the requirement for high privileges but no user interaction and the limited scope of impact. No known active exploits have been reported, but the vulnerability has been publicly disclosed, increasing the risk of exploitation. The vendor has released a patch identified by commit 52204b4a106b2fb02d16eee06a88a1f2697f9b35, which addresses the input validation issues in the Raw SQL Handler. Organizations using affected versions should apply this patch immediately to mitigate risks. The vulnerability is particularly critical in environments where Vvveb is used to manage sensitive or critical web applications, as exploitation could lead to unauthorized data access or service disruption.

For European organizations, this vulnerability poses a moderate risk primarily to those using the givanz Vvveb tool for web development or content management. Exploitation could lead to unauthorized disclosure or modification of sensitive data stored in backend databases, undermining data confidentiality and integrity. Additionally, attackers could disrupt service availability by executing destructive SQL commands. The requirement for high privilege authentication limits the attack surface to insiders or compromised accounts, but this does not eliminate the risk of insider threats or credential theft. Organizations in sectors with stringent data protection regulations, such as finance, healthcare, and government, could face compliance violations and reputational damage if exploited. The vulnerability could also be leveraged as a foothold for further lateral movement within networks. Given the public disclosure, the risk of exploitation attempts in Europe may increase, especially targeting organizations with inadequate patch management or weak access controls.

1. Apply the official patch provided by givanz immediately to all affected Vvveb installations to remediate the SQL injection flaw. 2. Restrict access to the Import function and the admin/controller/tools/import.php file strictly to trusted administrators using network segmentation and access control lists. 3. Implement multi-factor authentication (MFA) for all administrative accounts to reduce the risk of credential compromise. 4. Conduct regular audits of user privileges to ensure that only necessary accounts have high-level access. 5. Monitor logs for unusual database queries or failed access attempts related to the Import function. 6. Employ web application firewalls (WAFs) with custom rules to detect and block suspicious SQL injection patterns targeting the vulnerable endpoint. 7. Educate administrators on secure handling of raw SQL inputs and the risks of elevated privileges. 8. Maintain an up-to-date inventory of software versions to promptly identify and patch vulnerable components. 9. Consider isolating the Vvveb environment from critical production systems to limit potential impact.
