CVE-2025-29529 is a SQL injection vulnerability identified in the ITC Systems Multiplan/Matrix OneCard platform version 3.7.4.1002, specifically through the Forgotpassword.aspx component. SQL injection (CWE-89) vulnerabilities occur when untrusted input is improperly sanitized and directly included in SQL queries, allowing an attacker to manipulate the database query logic. In this case, the Forgotpassword.aspx page likely accepts user input to initiate password recovery, but fails to properly validate or parameterize this input before passing it to the backend database. The vulnerability is remotely exploitable over the network (AV:N), requires no privileges (PR:N), and no user interaction (UI:N), making it accessible to unauthenticated attackers. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 6.5, indicating a medium severity level, with impacts on confidentiality and integrity but no direct impact on availability. Exploitation could allow an attacker to extract sensitive data from the database, such as user credentials or personal information, or potentially modify data, depending on the database permissions. No known exploits are currently reported in the wild. The vulnerability was reserved in March 2025 and published in April 2025, with no vendor or product details beyond the platform name and version. The lack of available patches suggests that mitigation may require vendor engagement or custom remediation. Given the nature of the platform (a card management system), the exposed component is critical for user account recovery, making it a high-value target for attackers seeking to compromise user accounts or extract sensitive cardholder data. The vulnerability’s ease of exploitation and unauthenticated access vector increase its risk profile despite the medium CVSS score.

For European organizations using the ITC Systems Multiplan/Matrix OneCard platform, this vulnerability poses a significant risk to the confidentiality and integrity of cardholder and user data. Successful exploitation could lead to unauthorized disclosure of sensitive personal and financial information, potentially resulting in fraud, identity theft, and regulatory non-compliance under GDPR. The integrity impact could allow attackers to alter user credentials or account data, facilitating further unauthorized access or fraudulent transactions. Although availability is not directly affected, the reputational damage and potential financial losses from data breaches could be substantial. Organizations in sectors such as banking, retail, or any service relying on card-based authentication or payment systems would be particularly vulnerable. The lack of authentication requirement and remote exploitability means attackers can attempt exploitation at scale, increasing the threat surface. Additionally, the absence of known patches or mitigations at the time of disclosure could delay remediation efforts, prolonging exposure. European entities must consider the potential for increased targeted attacks exploiting this vulnerability, especially given the strategic importance of secure payment and identity management systems in the region.

1. Immediate mitigation should include implementing Web Application Firewall (WAF) rules specifically targeting SQL injection patterns on the Forgotpassword.aspx endpoint to block malicious input. 2. Conduct a thorough code review and apply parameterized queries or stored procedures to sanitize all inputs on the Forgotpassword.aspx page, eliminating direct concatenation of user input into SQL statements. 3. If vendor patches are unavailable, consider isolating or disabling the vulnerable password recovery functionality temporarily while alternative secure recovery methods are implemented. 4. Monitor logs for unusual or repeated access attempts to the Forgotpassword.aspx page that could indicate exploitation attempts. 5. Employ database-level access controls to restrict the privileges of the application account, limiting the potential damage from SQL injection exploitation. 6. Conduct penetration testing and vulnerability scanning focused on injection flaws across the platform to identify and remediate similar issues proactively. 7. Educate security and development teams on secure coding practices to prevent future injection vulnerabilities. 8. Engage with the vendor or platform provider for timely patch development and deployment. 9. Implement multi-factor authentication (MFA) for user accounts to reduce the impact of compromised credentials obtained via this vulnerability.
