CVE-2025-13268 is an injection vulnerability identified in the Dromara dataCompare software, affecting versions 1.0.0 and 1.0.1. The vulnerability resides in the DbConfig function within the JDBC URL Handler component, specifically in the source file src/main/java/com/vince/xq/project/system/dbconfig/service/DbconfigServiceImpl.java. This flaw allows an attacker to remotely manipulate the JDBC URL configuration, leading to injection attacks that can compromise the underlying database connection parameters. The injection could enable unauthorized data access, modification, or disruption of database operations. The vulnerability does not require user interaction or elevated privileges, making it accessible to remote attackers with network access to the service. The CVSS 4.0 score of 5.3 (medium severity) reflects a balance between the ease of exploitation (no authentication needed) and the limited scope of impact (confidentiality, integrity, and availability impacts are low to limited). Although no active exploitation has been observed, a public exploit is available, increasing the likelihood of future attacks. The vulnerability affects organizations using Dromara dataCompare for database comparison or synchronization tasks, which may be integrated into broader enterprise systems. The absence of vendor patches at the time of publication necessitates immediate mitigation efforts to reduce exposure.

For European organizations, exploitation of CVE-2025-13268 could lead to unauthorized access or manipulation of database configurations, potentially exposing sensitive data or disrupting critical database operations. This risk is particularly relevant for sectors relying heavily on database integrity and availability, such as finance, healthcare, and government services. Compromise of database configurations could cascade into broader system compromises, affecting business continuity and data privacy compliance under regulations like GDPR. The medium severity indicates moderate risk, but the availability of a public exploit increases urgency. Organizations using Dromara dataCompare in multi-tenant or cloud environments may face amplified risks due to shared infrastructure. Additionally, the remote attack vector without user interaction means that perimeter defenses must be robust to prevent exploitation. Failure to address this vulnerability could result in reputational damage, regulatory penalties, and operational disruptions.

1. Immediately restrict network access to the dataCompare service, limiting it to trusted internal IPs and using network segmentation to isolate vulnerable components. 2. Implement strict input validation and sanitization on all JDBC URL parameters to prevent injection payloads from being processed. 3. Monitor logs and network traffic for anomalous JDBC URL manipulation attempts or unusual database connection patterns. 4. Deploy Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) or Intrusion Prevention Systems (IPS) with custom rules targeting injection attempts specific to JDBC URL parameters. 5. Engage with the Dromara project or vendor to obtain patches or updates addressing this vulnerability as soon as they become available. 6. Conduct a thorough audit of all systems using dataCompare to identify and prioritize remediation efforts. 7. Educate development and operations teams about secure configuration management and the risks of injection vulnerabilities in database connectors. 8. Consider temporary mitigation by disabling or restricting the DbConfig function if feasible without disrupting business operations. 9. Integrate vulnerability scanning for this CVE into regular security assessments to detect unpatched instances.
