CVE-2025-40714: CWE-89 Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command ('SQL Injection') in Quiter Quiter Gateway (Java WAR on Apache Tomcat)
SQL injection vulnerability in versions prior to 4.7.0 of Quiter Gateway by Quiter. This vulnerability allows an attacker to retrieve, create, update and delete databases through the campo id_factura in /<Client>FacturaE/listado_facturas_ficha.jsp.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2025-40714 is a critical SQL injection vulnerability affecting versions prior to 4.7.0 of the Quiter Gateway product, which is a Java WAR application running on Apache Tomcat. The vulnerability arises from improper neutralization of special elements in SQL commands (CWE-89) specifically in the 'id_factura' parameter within the '/<Client>FacturaE/listado_facturas_ficha.jsp' endpoint. An attacker can exploit this flaw by injecting malicious SQL code into the 'id_factura' parameter, enabling unauthorized retrieval, creation, modification, or deletion of database records. This can lead to full compromise of the backend database, including exposure of sensitive data, data tampering, or destruction. The vulnerability is remotely exploitable over the network without requiring authentication or user interaction, as indicated by the CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N). The impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability is high, making this a critical security issue. No known public exploits have been reported yet, but the high severity and ease of exploitation suggest that attackers may develop exploits soon. The lack of available patches at the time of publication increases the urgency for organizations to implement mitigations and monitor for updates from the vendor.
Potential Impact
For European organizations using Quiter Gateway, this vulnerability poses a severe risk to their data security and operational continuity. Exploitation could lead to unauthorized access to sensitive financial or client data stored in the affected databases, potentially violating GDPR and other data protection regulations. Data manipulation or deletion could disrupt business processes, cause financial losses, and damage organizational reputation. Given that Quiter Gateway is deployed in environments handling invoicing or financial records (suggested by the 'FacturaE' context), the impact on financial integrity and compliance is significant. Additionally, exploitation could serve as a foothold for further lateral movement within the network, increasing the risk of broader compromise. Organizations in sectors such as finance, government, and critical infrastructure that rely on Quiter Gateway are particularly at risk.
Mitigation Recommendations
Immediate mitigation steps include: 1) Applying vendor patches or updates as soon as they become available to address the vulnerability directly. 2) Implementing Web Application Firewall (WAF) rules to detect and block SQL injection attempts targeting the 'id_factura' parameter and related endpoints. 3) Conducting input validation and sanitization on all user-supplied data, especially parameters used in SQL queries, to prevent injection. 4) Employing the principle of least privilege for database accounts used by Quiter Gateway, restricting permissions to only what is necessary to limit potential damage. 5) Monitoring logs for unusual database queries or errors indicative of injection attempts. 6) If patching is delayed, consider temporarily disabling or restricting access to the vulnerable JSP endpoint or isolating the application from untrusted networks. 7) Conducting security awareness training for developers and administrators on secure coding practices and vulnerability management. These measures combined will reduce the risk of exploitation until a permanent fix is applied.
