CVE-2025-25181 is a SQL injection vulnerability identified in the Advantive VeraCore product, specifically within the timeoutWarning.asp component. The vulnerability arises due to improper neutralization of special elements used in SQL commands, classified under CWE-89. The flaw allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary SQL commands via the PmSess1 parameter without requiring authentication or user interaction. The vulnerability affects versions up to 2025.1.0 of VeraCore. Exploitation can lead to unauthorized disclosure of limited data, as indicated by the CVSS vector which shows a confidentiality impact but no impact on integrity or availability. The vulnerability is remotely exploitable over the network with low attack complexity and no privileges required, making it accessible to unauthenticated attackers. The scope is changed (S:C), meaning the vulnerability affects resources beyond the initially vulnerable component, potentially impacting the broader system or database. Despite the medium severity rating and CVSS score of 5.8, no known exploits have been reported in the wild yet, and no patches have been linked at the time of publication. VeraCore is a supply chain and inventory management software solution, often used by businesses to manage complex logistics and inventory operations. The vulnerability could allow attackers to extract sensitive information from the backend database, potentially exposing business-critical data or customer information.

For European organizations using Advantive VeraCore, this vulnerability poses a risk of unauthorized data disclosure, which could include sensitive business or customer data stored in the backend database. Although the vulnerability does not allow modification or deletion of data, the confidentiality breach could lead to competitive disadvantage, regulatory non-compliance (e.g., GDPR violations), and reputational damage. Given the nature of VeraCore as a supply chain and inventory management tool, disruption or data leakage could impact operational continuity and trust with partners and customers. The fact that no authentication is required increases the risk of exploitation by external threat actors. European organizations in sectors such as manufacturing, retail, and logistics that rely on VeraCore for inventory and supply chain management are particularly at risk. The medium severity rating suggests that while the threat is significant, it is not immediately critical, but should be addressed promptly to prevent escalation or combined attacks.

Organizations should immediately review their use of Advantive VeraCore and identify if they are running affected versions up to 2025.1.0. In the absence of an official patch, mitigations include implementing web application firewalls (WAFs) with rules to detect and block SQL injection attempts targeting the PmSess1 parameter. Input validation and sanitization should be enforced at the application level to neutralize special characters in user inputs. Network segmentation and restricting access to the VeraCore application to trusted IP ranges can reduce exposure. Monitoring and logging of unusual database queries or application behavior related to timeoutWarning.asp should be enhanced to detect potential exploitation attempts. Organizations should engage with Advantive for updates on patches or security advisories and plan for timely application of fixes once available. Additionally, conducting security assessments and penetration testing focused on SQL injection vectors in VeraCore deployments can help identify and remediate weaknesses proactively.
