CVE-2025-14185 is a SQL injection vulnerability identified in Yonyou U8 Cloud versions 5.0, 5.0sp, 5.1, and 5.1sp. The vulnerability resides in an unknown function within the Java class file nc/pubitf/erm/mobile/appservice/AppServletService.class, specifically involving the 'usercode' parameter. Improper input validation or sanitization of this parameter allows an attacker to inject malicious SQL statements remotely, without requiring authentication or user interaction. The vulnerability has a CVSS 4.0 base score of 5.3, indicating medium severity, with an attack vector of network (remote), low attack complexity, no privileges required, and no user interaction needed. The impact includes potential unauthorized access to or modification of the backend database, which could compromise confidentiality, integrity, and availability of data. The exploit code is publicly available, increasing the risk of exploitation, although no active exploitation has been reported. The vendor was contacted but has not issued any response or patch, leaving affected systems exposed. Given the critical role of Yonyou U8 Cloud in enterprise resource planning and financial management, exploitation could disrupt business operations and lead to data breaches.

For European organizations, the impact of this vulnerability could be significant, especially for those relying on Yonyou U8 Cloud for financial, operational, or enterprise resource planning functions. Successful exploitation could lead to unauthorized disclosure of sensitive corporate data, manipulation of financial records, or disruption of critical business processes. This could result in regulatory non-compliance, particularly under GDPR, leading to legal penalties and reputational damage. Additionally, the ability to remotely exploit the vulnerability without authentication increases the attack surface and risk. Organizations in sectors such as manufacturing, finance, and supply chain management that utilize Yonyou products may face operational downtime and loss of data integrity, impacting business continuity and trust.

Given the absence of an official patch, European organizations should implement immediate compensating controls. These include: 1) Restricting network access to the Yonyou U8 Cloud application servers by implementing strict firewall rules and network segmentation to limit exposure to untrusted networks. 2) Deploying Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) with custom rules to detect and block SQL injection attempts targeting the 'usercode' parameter. 3) Conducting thorough input validation and sanitization at the application layer if customization is possible. 4) Monitoring logs and network traffic for unusual database queries or injection patterns. 5) Applying the principle of least privilege to database accounts used by the application to minimize potential damage. 6) Planning for rapid patch deployment once the vendor releases an official fix. 7) Educating IT and security teams about this vulnerability and ensuring incident response plans are updated to address potential exploitation scenarios.
