CVE-2025-14011 is a SQL injection vulnerability identified in JIZHICMS, a content management system, specifically affecting versions 2.5.0 through 2.5.5. The vulnerability resides in the commentlist function of the file /index.php/admins/Comment/addcomment.html, which is part of the Add Display Name Field component. Attackers can manipulate the 'aid' or 'tid' parameters to inject malicious SQL code remotely, potentially allowing unauthorized access or modification of the backend database. The vulnerability does not require user interaction but does require the attacker to have high privileges, indicating that exploitation might be limited to authenticated users with elevated rights. The vendor was notified early but has not issued any patches or responses, and no known exploits have been observed in the wild yet. The CVSS 4.0 score is 5.1 (medium), reflecting the moderate impact and exploitability. The vulnerability affects confidentiality, integrity, and availability at a limited level, with no scope change or user interaction needed. The lack of vendor response increases the risk for organizations relying on this CMS, as unpatched systems remain exposed to potential SQL injection attacks that could lead to data leakage, unauthorized data modification, or denial of service.

For European organizations using JIZHICMS, this vulnerability poses a moderate risk. Successful exploitation could allow attackers to access or manipulate sensitive data stored in the CMS database, potentially leading to data breaches involving personal or business-critical information. The integrity of website content and user comments could be compromised, damaging organizational reputation and trust. Availability could also be affected if attackers execute commands that disrupt database operations. Given the CMS's role in managing web content, such disruptions could impact customer-facing services and internal workflows. The requirement for high privileges limits the attack surface to insiders or compromised accounts, but the lack of vendor patches and public exploit code increases the urgency for proactive mitigation. European organizations in sectors like media, education, or government using JIZHICMS are particularly at risk due to the potential exposure of regulated personal data under GDPR, which could result in legal and financial penalties.

Organizations should immediately audit their JIZHICMS installations to identify affected versions (2.5.0 to 2.5.5). Since no official patch is available, administrators should consider the following mitigations: 1) Restrict access to the /index.php/admins/Comment/addcomment.html endpoint to trusted, authenticated users only, preferably via IP whitelisting or VPN. 2) Implement web application firewall (WAF) rules to detect and block SQL injection patterns targeting 'aid' and 'tid' parameters. 3) Enforce the principle of least privilege by reviewing and limiting user roles with high privileges to reduce exploitation risk. 4) Monitor logs for suspicious activity related to commentlist function parameters. 5) Consider temporary disabling or removing the Add Display Name Field component if feasible. 6) Plan for migration to a patched or alternative CMS solution once available. 7) Educate administrators about the vulnerability and the importance of applying mitigations promptly. These steps go beyond generic advice by focusing on access controls, monitoring, and component-specific actions.
