CVE-2025-15442 is a SQL injection vulnerability identified in CRMEB, a customer relationship management and e-commerce backend platform, affecting versions 5.6.0 and 5.6.1. The vulnerability resides in the /adminapi/export/product_list endpoint, where the cate_id parameter is improperly sanitized, allowing an attacker to inject malicious SQL code. This flaw can be exploited remotely without user interaction but requires the attacker to have high privileges (authentication with elevated rights). The injection can lead to unauthorized data access, modification, or deletion, impacting the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the backend database. The CVSS 4.0 vector indicates network attack vector (AV:N), low attack complexity (AC:L), no user interaction (UI:N), and high privileges required (PR:H). The vendor was notified but has not issued a patch or response, and no known exploits have been observed in the wild yet. The vulnerability's public disclosure increases the risk of exploitation attempts. CRMEB is commonly used in e-commerce and CRM systems, making this vulnerability relevant for organizations relying on these platforms for product management and customer data. The lack of patch availability necessitates alternative mitigation strategies to prevent exploitation.

For European organizations, the impact of CVE-2025-15442 could be significant, especially for those using CRMEB in their e-commerce or customer management workflows. Exploitation could lead to unauthorized access to sensitive product and customer data, potentially resulting in data breaches, regulatory non-compliance (e.g., GDPR violations), and reputational damage. Integrity of product listings and customer records could be compromised, affecting business operations and trust. Availability impacts, while less severe, could disrupt export functionalities or backend services, causing operational delays. Given the high privileges required for exploitation, insider threats or compromised administrator accounts pose the greatest risk. The absence of vendor patches increases exposure time, necessitating proactive defense measures. European organizations must consider the legal and financial consequences of data breaches under stringent EU data protection laws.

1. Restrict access to the /adminapi/export/product_list endpoint to trusted IP addresses and authenticated users with the least privilege necessary. 2. Implement Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) with specific SQL injection detection and blocking rules tailored to the cate_id parameter and related API calls. 3. Conduct thorough input validation and sanitization on all parameters, especially cate_id, at the application or proxy level if patching is not yet available. 4. Monitor database query logs and application logs for anomalous or suspicious SQL queries indicative of injection attempts. 5. Enforce strong authentication and session management to reduce the risk of high-privilege account compromise. 6. Prepare incident response plans specific to CRMEB exploitation scenarios. 7. Engage with CRMEB vendor or community for updates and patches, and plan for timely application once available. 8. Consider isolating CRMEB instances in segmented network zones to limit lateral movement in case of compromise.
