CVE-2025-11944 identifies a SQL injection vulnerability in the givanz Vvveb web development framework, affecting versions 1.0.7.0 through 1.0.7.3. The vulnerability resides in the Import function within the file admin/controller/tools/import.php, which handles raw SQL commands. Due to insufficient input sanitization or improper handling of user-supplied data, an attacker with high-level privileges can inject malicious SQL statements. This injection can manipulate database queries, potentially leading to unauthorized data access, modification, or disruption of database operations. The attack vector is remote, but exploitation requires authenticated access with high privileges, and no user interaction is needed. The CVSS 4.0 base score is 5.1 (medium severity), reflecting the moderate impact and exploitation complexity. Although no known exploits are currently active in the wild, the vulnerability has been publicly disclosed, increasing the risk of future exploitation. The patch identified by commit 52204b4a106b2fb02d16eee06a88a1f2697f9b35 addresses the issue by correcting the input validation and query handling in the affected component. Organizations using Vvveb should evaluate their exposure, especially if the Import function is accessible or used frequently, and apply the patch promptly to prevent potential SQL injection attacks.

For European organizations, the SQL injection vulnerability in Vvveb could lead to unauthorized access or modification of sensitive data stored in backend databases, potentially violating data protection regulations such as GDPR. Although exploitation requires authenticated high-privilege access, insider threats or compromised credentials could enable attackers to leverage this flaw to escalate privileges, exfiltrate data, or disrupt operations. The integrity of data imported or managed via the vulnerable Import function could be compromised, affecting business processes reliant on accurate data. Availability impacts may occur if malicious SQL commands disrupt database functionality. Given the medium severity and the requirement for high privileges, the threat is more significant for organizations with lax access controls or those exposing administrative interfaces externally. Failure to patch could result in reputational damage, regulatory penalties, and operational disruptions, especially in sectors handling critical or sensitive information.

1. Immediately apply the official patch identified by commit 52204b4a106b2fb02d16eee06a88a1f2697f9b35 to all affected Vvveb installations. 2. Restrict access to the Import function and administrative interfaces to trusted networks and users, employing network segmentation and firewall rules. 3. Enforce strong authentication mechanisms and limit high-privilege accounts to minimize risk from credential compromise. 4. Implement monitoring and alerting for unusual database queries or access patterns related to the Import function. 5. Conduct regular security audits and code reviews focusing on input validation and raw SQL handling. 6. Educate administrators and developers on secure coding practices to prevent similar vulnerabilities. 7. If patching is delayed, consider disabling or restricting the Import functionality temporarily to reduce exposure. 8. Maintain up-to-date backups to enable recovery in case of data integrity or availability issues caused by exploitation.
