CVE-2025-32245 is a high-severity SQL Injection vulnerability identified in LambertGroup's Apollo product, affecting versions up to and including 3.6.3. The vulnerability arises from improper neutralization of special elements used in SQL commands (CWE-89), allowing an attacker with low privileges (PR:L) and no user interaction (UI:N) to execute malicious SQL queries remotely over the network (AV:N). The vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 8.5, indicating a significant risk. The scope is changed (S:C), meaning the vulnerability can affect resources beyond the initially vulnerable component. The impact primarily compromises confidentiality (C:H) by enabling unauthorized data access, with limited impact on availability (A:L) and no impact on integrity (I:N). Although no known exploits are currently in the wild, the ease of exploitation and the potential for data leakage make this a critical concern. The vulnerability likely stems from insufficient input validation or parameterization in Apollo's database query handling, permitting attackers to inject crafted SQL commands to retrieve sensitive information from the backend database. The absence of patches at the time of publication necessitates immediate attention to mitigate risk.

For European organizations using LambertGroup Apollo, this vulnerability poses a serious threat to the confidentiality of sensitive data, including customer information, intellectual property, and internal business data. Successful exploitation could lead to unauthorized data disclosure, potentially violating GDPR and other data protection regulations, resulting in legal penalties and reputational damage. The limited impact on availability reduces the risk of service disruption, but the confidentiality breach alone is critical. Organizations in sectors such as finance, healthcare, government, and critical infrastructure that rely on Apollo for operational or data management functions are particularly at risk. The vulnerability's network-exploitable nature means attackers can attempt remote attacks without user interaction, increasing the attack surface. The changed scope indicates that exploitation could affect multiple components or systems connected to Apollo, amplifying potential damage.

Given the lack of an official patch, European organizations should implement immediate compensating controls. These include: 1) Conducting a thorough code review and applying manual input validation and parameterized queries where possible to prevent injection. 2) Restricting database user privileges used by Apollo to the minimum necessary, limiting data exposure if exploited. 3) Employing Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) with custom rules to detect and block SQL injection patterns targeting Apollo endpoints. 4) Monitoring logs for unusual database query patterns or access anomalies indicative of exploitation attempts. 5) Segmenting network access to Apollo servers to restrict exposure to trusted networks only. 6) Preparing for rapid deployment of official patches once released by LambertGroup. 7) Educating security teams on this vulnerability to enhance detection and response capabilities. These targeted actions go beyond generic advice by focusing on immediate risk reduction tailored to the Apollo environment.
