CVE-2025-12463 is a critical SQL Injection vulnerability identified in the Guetebruck G-Cam E-Series surveillance cameras, specifically confirmed on the EFD-2130 model running firmware version 1.12.0.19. The vulnerability resides in the 'Group' parameter of the /uapi-cgi/viewer/Param.cgi CGI script, which fails to properly sanitize user input before incorporating it into SQL commands. This improper neutralization of special elements (CWE-89) allows an unauthenticated remote attacker to inject malicious SQL queries directly into the backend database. Because the flaw requires no authentication (AV:N/PR:N/UI:N) and no user interaction, it can be exploited remotely with minimal effort. The impact is severe, enabling attackers to read, modify, or delete sensitive data, compromise device integrity, and potentially disrupt camera availability. The vulnerability affects the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the device and any connected systems relying on its data. Although no public exploits have been reported yet, the high CVSS score (9.8) and the nature of the flaw make it a critical risk. The lack of available patches at the time of disclosure increases the urgency for organizations to implement compensating controls. This vulnerability highlights the risks of insecure input validation in IoT and security devices, which are often deployed in critical infrastructure environments.

For European organizations, the impact of CVE-2025-12463 is significant due to the widespread use of Guetebruck G-Cam cameras in security and surveillance applications, including critical infrastructure, transportation hubs, and government facilities. Exploitation could lead to unauthorized access to surveillance data, manipulation or deletion of logs, and potential disruption of security monitoring capabilities. This could compromise physical security, lead to privacy violations, and expose sensitive operational information. The ability to execute arbitrary SQL commands without authentication increases the risk of lateral movement within networks if attackers leverage compromised devices as footholds. Additionally, the disruption or manipulation of video feeds could hinder incident response and forensic investigations. The critical severity and remote exploitability mean that organizations must prioritize remediation to avoid operational and reputational damage.

1. Immediately isolate affected Guetebruck G-Cam E-Series cameras from untrusted networks to prevent remote exploitation. 2. Monitor network traffic for unusual requests targeting the /uapi-cgi/viewer/Param.cgi endpoint, especially those containing suspicious payloads in the 'Group' parameter. 3. Deploy web application firewalls (WAFs) or intrusion prevention systems (IPS) with custom rules to detect and block SQL injection attempts targeting these devices. 4. Engage with Guetebruck support to obtain and apply firmware updates or patches as soon as they become available. 5. If patches are not yet available, consider disabling or restricting access to the vulnerable CGI interface via network segmentation or access control lists (ACLs). 6. Conduct thorough audits of all connected devices to identify any signs of compromise or unauthorized access. 7. Implement strict network segmentation to separate surveillance devices from critical IT infrastructure. 8. Educate security teams about this vulnerability to ensure rapid detection and response to potential exploitation attempts.
