CVE-2025-34038 is a critical SQL injection vulnerability identified in Weaver E-cology version 8.0, a workflow and enterprise management software. The vulnerability exists in the getdata.jsp endpoint, specifically in 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 database queries without proper neutralization or parameterization. This allows an unauthenticated attacker to inject arbitrary SQL commands, potentially leading to unauthorized data access or manipulation. The vulnerability impacts confidentiality severely, as attackers can extract sensitive information such as administrator password hashes. The CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N) indicates network attack vector, low attack complexity, no privileges or user interaction required, and high impact on confidentiality with no impact on integrity or availability. Although no public exploit code is currently available, Shadowserver Foundation observed exploitation attempts in February 2025, confirming active threat presence. The vulnerability affects all versions of Weaver E-cology 8.0, and no official patches have been published yet. This flaw represents a significant risk for organizations relying on this software for critical workflow and data management.

For European organizations, the impact of CVE-2025-34038 is substantial. Successful exploitation can lead to unauthorized disclosure of sensitive data, including administrator credentials, which could facilitate further compromise of internal systems. This breach of confidentiality can result in data leaks, regulatory non-compliance (e.g., GDPR violations), reputational damage, and potential operational disruptions if attackers leverage stolen credentials for lateral movement. The vulnerability’s ease of exploitation—requiring no authentication or user interaction—heightens the risk of widespread attacks. Organizations in sectors such as government, finance, healthcare, and critical infrastructure that use Weaver E-cology for workflow management are particularly vulnerable. The exposure of administrator password hashes could enable attackers to escalate privileges and control enterprise systems, amplifying the threat to business continuity and data integrity. Additionally, given the strategic importance of enterprise workflow systems, attackers may use this vulnerability as an initial foothold for more complex attacks targeting European entities.

To mitigate CVE-2025-34038, European organizations should implement the following specific measures: 1) Immediately restrict access to the getdata.jsp endpoint and the cmd=getSelectAllId workflow via network segmentation and firewall rules to limit exposure. 2) Employ web application firewalls (WAFs) with custom rules to detect and block SQL injection patterns targeting the 'sql' parameter. 3) Conduct a thorough code review and refactor the getSelectAllIds(sql, type) method to use parameterized queries or prepared statements, eliminating direct concatenation of user input into SQL commands. 4) Implement rigorous input validation and sanitization on all user-supplied parameters, particularly those used in database queries. 5) Monitor logs for suspicious query patterns or anomalous access attempts to the vulnerable endpoint. 6) Engage with Weaver’s vendor support channels to obtain patches or official remediation guidance as soon as they become available. 7) Perform comprehensive vulnerability scanning and penetration testing focused on SQL injection vectors within the application environment. 8) Educate development and security teams on secure coding practices to prevent similar injection flaws in future releases.
