Bold values are the worst case: easiest to exploit or largest impact.

Attack Vector: Network: The vulnerable component is bound to the network stack and the set of possible attackers extends beyond the other options listed, up to and including the entire Internet. Such a vulnerability is often termed 'remotely exploitable' and can be thought of as an attack being exploitable at the protocol level one or more network hops away (e.g., across one or more routers).
Attack Complexity: Low: Specialized access conditions or extenuating circumstances do not exist. An attacker can expect repeatable success against the vulnerable component.
Privileges Required: High: The attacker is authorized with (i.e., requires) privileges that provide significant (e.g., administrative) control over the vulnerable component that could affect component-wide settings and files.
User Interaction: None: The vulnerable system can be exploited without any interaction from any user.
Scope: Unchanged: An exploited vulnerability can only affect resources managed by the same security authority. In this case, the vulnerable component and the impacted component are either the same, or both are managed by the same security authority.
Confidentiality: High: There is total loss of confidentiality, resulting in all resources within the impacted component being divulged to the attacker. Alternatively, access to only some restricted information is obtained, but the disclosed information presents a direct, serious impact.
Integrity: High: There is a total loss of integrity, or a complete loss of protection. For example, the attacker is able to modify any/all files protected by the impacted component. Alternatively, only some files can be modified, but malicious modification would present a direct, serious consequence to the impacted component.
Availability: High: There is total loss of availability, resulting in the attacker being able to fully deny access to resources in the impacted component; this loss is either sustained (while the attacker continues to deliver the attack) or persistent (the condition persists even after the attack has completed). Alternatively, the attacker has the ability to deny some availability, but the loss of availability presents a direct, serious consequence to the impacted component (e.g., the attacker cannot disrupt existing connections, but can prevent new connections; the attacker can repeatedly exploit a vulnerability that, in each instance of a successful attack, leaks a only small amount of memory, but after repeated exploitation causes a service to become completely unavailable).

Exploitation evidence

Disclosed: evidence found.
CVE published 29 Jul 2025
Detectable: no evidence on record.
No public nuclei template indexed
Weaponised: no evidence on record.
No public exploit code indexed in Metasploit or Exploit-DB
Exploited in the wildExploited: no evidence on record.
Not in CISA KEV and no source reports exploitation
Observed by OffSeq MirageSeen by Mirage: no evidence on record.
No attack traffic recorded by OffSeq Mirage sensors

A missing step is not evidence of safety. Sources: cve.org (opens in a new tab), the Metasploit, Exploit-DB and nuclei-templates index as of 2026-10-26.

Disclosed: The CVE record is public on cve.org. Its publication is t = 0.
Detectable: A public nuclei template can find exposed instances, for defenders and attackers alike.
Weaponised: Public exploit code exists in Metasploit or Exploit-DB, or CISA SSVC reports a public proof of concept.
Exploited in the wild: CISA KEV lists it, CISA SSVC rates exploitation active, or a source reports attacks.
Observed by OffSeq Mirage: OffSeq Mirage honeypot sensors recorded attack traffic for this CVE, or found exposed hosts without attack traffic.

Moments are spaced evenly, not to scale; a dashed line marks a gap of six months or more. Deltas count from t = 0. Sources that give only a date (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, or a time of exactly 00:00Z) read “same day” rather than hours. Metasploit modules carry the flaw’s disclosure date, not their release date, and nuclei templates carry no date, so both appear above but not on the timeline.

AI-suggested

Until patches are deployed, restrict the Archiver role privileges to the minimum necessary and audit accounts assigned this role to ensure only trusted personnel have access. Implement network segmentation to isolate Genetec Security Center components from untrusted networks and limit access to management interfaces. Enable detailed logging and monitoring of database queries and application logs to detect anomalous SQL activity indicative of injection attempts. Employ Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) or database activity monitoring tools that can detect and block SQL injection patterns. Conduct regular security assessments and penetration testing focused on the Genetec environment to identify potential exploitation paths. Educate administrators on the risks of privilege escalation and enforce strong authentication and access controls. Finally, maintain an incident response plan tailored to security system compromises to respond swiftly if exploitation occurs.

Description

SQL Injection affecting the Archiver role.

Impact

The impact of CVE-2025-2928 is significant for organizations using Genetec Security Center, especially those relying on the Archiver role for managing security data. Successful exploitation can lead to unauthorized disclosure of sensitive security footage and access logs, manipulation or deletion of critical security data, and potential disruption of security monitoring operations. This compromises the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of security infrastructure, potentially enabling further attacks or physical security breaches. Organizations in sectors such as government, critical infrastructure, transportation, and large enterprises that deploy Genetec solutions are particularly at risk. The requirement for high privileges limits exploitation to insiders or attackers who have already compromised accounts with elevated rights, but the network attack vector and lack of user interaction needed increase the threat surface. The absence of known exploits in the wild currently reduces immediate risk but does not diminish the urgency for remediation given the potential damage. Failure to address this vulnerability could result in regulatory penalties, reputational damage, and operational downtime.
