CVE-2025-22214 is an SQL injection vulnerability classified under CWE-89, found in the Landray EIS enterprise information system versions 2001 through 2006. The vulnerability resides in the Message/fi_message_receiver.aspx endpoint, specifically in the 'replyid' parameter, which fails to properly sanitize or neutralize special characters used in SQL commands. This improper neutralization allows an attacker with low privileges to inject malicious SQL statements into the backend database query. The vulnerability does not require user interaction and can be exploited remotely over the network. According to the CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N), the attack complexity is low, privileges required are low, and there is no need for user interaction. The impact is limited to confidentiality, potentially allowing attackers to read some data from the database but not modify or delete it, nor disrupt service availability. No known exploits have been reported in the wild, and no official patches or mitigations have been published yet. Given the affected versions span a wide range of Landray EIS releases, organizations using these legacy systems are at risk if exposed to untrusted networks. The vulnerability highlights the importance of input validation and secure coding practices in web applications handling database queries.

The primary impact of CVE-2025-22214 is a limited confidentiality breach, where an attacker can extract sensitive information from the backend database by injecting crafted SQL commands. Although the vulnerability does not allow modification or deletion of data (integrity) or disruption of service (availability), unauthorized data disclosure can lead to information leakage, privacy violations, and potential reconnaissance for further attacks. Organizations relying on Landray EIS versions 2001-2006, especially those exposing the vulnerable endpoint to external or untrusted networks, face increased risk of data exposure. The medium CVSS score reflects the moderate severity due to limited impact scope and the requirement for low privileges. However, the lack of patches and the legacy nature of the software may prolong exposure. Attackers could leverage this vulnerability to gain insights into internal data structures or user information, which could be used in subsequent targeted attacks or social engineering campaigns.

To mitigate CVE-2025-22214, organizations should first assess whether they are running affected versions of Landray EIS (2001 through 2006) and identify if the vulnerable endpoint Message/fi_message_receiver.aspx is accessible. Since no official patches are currently available, immediate mitigations include implementing strict input validation and sanitization on the 'replyid' parameter to neutralize special SQL characters. Employing web application firewalls (WAFs) with custom rules to detect and block SQL injection attempts targeting this endpoint can provide an additional layer of defense. Network segmentation and restricting access to the application from trusted IP ranges can reduce exposure. Monitoring application logs for suspicious query patterns or repeated failed attempts to inject SQL code is recommended to detect potential exploitation attempts. Long-term mitigation involves upgrading to a supported and patched version of Landray EIS or migrating to alternative enterprise systems with secure coding practices. Security teams should also conduct regular code reviews and penetration testing focused on injection vulnerabilities.
