CVE-2025-12864 is a SQL Injection vulnerability classified under CWE-89 affecting U-Office Force, a product developed by e-Excellence. The vulnerability allows an authenticated remote attacker to inject malicious SQL commands into the backend database through insufficient neutralization of special elements in SQL queries. This can lead to unauthorized reading, modification, or deletion of sensitive data stored in the database. The attack vector is network-based with low complexity, requiring only limited privileges and no user interaction, which increases the risk of exploitation. The vulnerability impacts confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the database contents, potentially compromising entire organizational data stores. No patches or known exploits currently exist, but the high CVSS score (8.7) reflects the critical nature of the flaw. The vulnerability is particularly dangerous because it can be exploited remotely by authenticated users, which might include internal users or compromised accounts. The lack of input sanitization or parameterized queries in the affected version (version 0) of U-Office Force is the root cause. Organizations using this software must urgently assess their exposure and implement mitigations to prevent exploitation.

For European organizations, exploitation of this vulnerability could result in significant data breaches, loss of data integrity, and service disruptions. Sensitive corporate or personal data managed by U-Office Force could be exposed or altered, leading to compliance violations under GDPR and other data protection regulations. The ability to delete or modify database contents could disrupt business operations, causing financial and reputational damage. Since the vulnerability requires authentication but no user interaction, attackers who gain or already have valid credentials (e.g., through phishing or insider threats) could leverage this flaw to escalate their privileges and cause widespread damage. Critical sectors such as finance, healthcare, and government agencies using U-Office Force are particularly at risk. The absence of patches increases the window of exposure, making proactive mitigation essential.

1. Immediately review and restrict user privileges in U-Office Force to the minimum necessary, especially for accounts with remote access. 2. Implement strict input validation and sanitization on all user-supplied data before it reaches SQL queries, preferably using parameterized queries or prepared statements. 3. Monitor database logs and application logs for unusual or suspicious SQL commands indicative of injection attempts. 4. Conduct a thorough code audit of U-Office Force integrations to identify and remediate unsafe SQL query constructions. 5. Isolate the database server from unnecessary network exposure and enforce network segmentation to limit attacker lateral movement. 6. Prepare for patch deployment by maintaining close contact with e-Excellence for updates and advisories. 7. Educate users about credential security to prevent account compromise, which could facilitate exploitation. 8. Consider deploying Web Application Firewalls (WAF) with custom rules to detect and block SQL injection patterns targeting U-Office Force. 9. Regularly back up databases and verify backup integrity to enable recovery in case of data tampering or deletion.
