CVE-2025-34038 is a critical SQL injection vulnerability identified in the e-cology 8.0 software developed by Shanghai Fanwei Network Technology. The vulnerability exists in the getdata.jsp endpoint, specifically within the getSelectAllIds(sql, type) method, which is invoked through the cmd=getSelectAllId workflow in the AjaxManager component. The root cause is the direct incorporation of unsanitized user input from the sql parameter into SQL queries without proper neutralization or parameterization. This flaw enables unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary SQL commands, bypassing authentication controls and potentially retrieving or manipulating sensitive database contents, including administrator password hashes. The vulnerability was publicly documented and confirmed by the Shadowserver Foundation on February 5, 2025. The CVSS v4.0 base score of 8.7 reflects the vulnerability's high impact due to its network attack vector, lack of required privileges or user interaction, and its ability to compromise confidentiality with a high degree of confidence. No patches were listed at the time of publication, indicating that affected organizations must implement interim mitigations. The vulnerability falls under CWE-89, highlighting improper neutralization of special elements in SQL commands. This issue poses a significant risk to the integrity and confidentiality of systems running e-cology 8.0, especially in environments where this software manages critical workflows or sensitive data.

For European organizations, exploitation of CVE-2025-34038 could lead to unauthorized disclosure of sensitive information, including administrator credentials, which may facilitate further network compromise or lateral movement. The ability to execute arbitrary SQL queries without authentication significantly increases the attack surface and risk of data breaches. Organizations relying on e-cology 8.0 for enterprise resource planning, workflow management, or other critical business functions may experience operational disruptions, reputational damage, and regulatory penalties under GDPR if personal data is exposed. The high severity and ease of exploitation mean that attackers could rapidly compromise vulnerable systems remotely. This threat is particularly concerning for sectors such as government, finance, healthcare, and manufacturing, where e-cology might be deployed and where data confidentiality and integrity are paramount. Additionally, the lack of available patches at the time of disclosure necessitates immediate defensive measures to prevent exploitation.

1. Implement strict input validation and sanitization on all user-supplied parameters, especially the sql parameter in getdata.jsp, to prevent injection of malicious SQL code. 2. Employ parameterized queries or prepared statements within the getSelectAllIds method to eliminate direct concatenation of user input into SQL commands. 3. Restrict database user privileges associated with the e-cology application to the minimum necessary, avoiding elevated rights that could exacerbate damage if exploited. 4. Monitor database and application logs for anomalous queries or access patterns indicative of SQL injection attempts. 5. If possible, deploy web application firewalls (WAFs) with rules designed to detect and block SQL injection payloads targeting the affected endpoint. 6. Engage with Shanghai Fanwei Network Technology for official patches or updates and apply them promptly once available. 7. Conduct thorough security assessments and penetration testing focused on injection vulnerabilities in e-cology deployments. 8. Isolate critical systems running e-cology from untrusted networks and enforce network segmentation to limit exposure. 9. Educate development and operations teams about secure coding practices to prevent similar vulnerabilities in future releases.
