CVE-2025-14780 is a SQL injection vulnerability identified in the Xiongwei Smart Catering Cloud Platform version 2.1.6446.28761. The vulnerability resides in an unspecified function within the /dishtrade/dish_trade_detail_get endpoint, where the 'filter' argument is improperly sanitized, allowing an attacker to inject malicious SQL code. This injection flaw can be exploited remotely without user interaction, but requires low privileges on the system, indicating that an attacker must have some level of authenticated access or compromised credentials. The SQL injection could allow attackers to read, modify, or delete database contents, potentially leading to unauthorized data disclosure, data tampering, or disruption of service. The CVSS 4.0 vector indicates network attack vector (AV:N), low attack complexity (AC:L), no privileges required (PR:L), no user interaction (UI:N), and low impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability (VC:L, VI:L, VA:L). No patches or vendor advisories are currently linked, and no known exploits in the wild have been reported, but public exploit code is available, increasing the risk of exploitation. The vulnerability affects a niche cloud platform used primarily in the catering industry, which may limit the scope but still poses a significant risk to organizations relying on this software for operational and transactional data processing.

For European organizations, this vulnerability could lead to unauthorized access to sensitive catering transaction data, customer information, and operational details stored in the affected platform's database. This could result in data breaches, loss of customer trust, regulatory non-compliance (e.g., GDPR violations), and potential financial losses. Integrity violations could disrupt business operations by altering order or transaction records, leading to incorrect billing or inventory management. Availability impacts, while rated low, could still cause service interruptions if attackers exploit the vulnerability to execute destructive SQL commands. Organizations in Europe with deployments of Xiongwei Smart Catering Cloud Platform, especially those handling large volumes of customer data or integrated with other critical business systems, face increased risk. The medium severity rating suggests that while the vulnerability is not critical, it is exploitable and could be leveraged as part of a broader attack chain. The public availability of exploit code raises the likelihood of opportunistic attacks, particularly from threat actors targeting the hospitality and catering sectors.

1. Monitor Xiongwei vendor channels closely for official patches or updates addressing CVE-2025-14780 and apply them promptly upon release. 2. Implement strict input validation and sanitization on all parameters, especially the 'filter' argument in the /dishtrade/dish_trade_detail_get endpoint, to prevent injection of malicious SQL code. 3. Employ web application firewalls (WAFs) with custom rules to detect and block SQL injection patterns targeting this endpoint. 4. Restrict access to the affected endpoint and enforce the principle of least privilege, ensuring that only authorized users with necessary roles can access it. 5. Conduct regular security audits and code reviews focusing on input handling and database query construction. 6. Monitor database logs and application logs for unusual query patterns or errors indicative of injection attempts. 7. Educate internal teams about the risks of SQL injection and the importance of secure coding practices. 8. Consider network segmentation to isolate the catering platform from other critical infrastructure to limit lateral movement in case of compromise.
