CVE-2025-41013 is an SQL injection vulnerability identified in TCMAN GIM version 11 (specifically version 20250304). The vulnerability arises from improper neutralization of special elements in SQL commands (CWE-89), specifically through the 'idmant' parameter in the '/PC/frmEPIS.aspx' endpoint. An attacker can exploit this flaw by sending a crafted GET request that manipulates the SQL query executed by the application. This allows unauthorized actions on the backend database, including retrieval, creation, modification, and deletion of data. The vulnerability does not require user interaction and can be exploited remotely without authentication, although it requires low privileges (PR:L). The CVSS 4.0 vector indicates network attack vector (AV:N), low attack complexity (AC:L), no user interaction (UI:N), and no privileges required (PR:L), with high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability (VC:H, VI:H, VA:H). No patches or known exploits are currently available, but the vulnerability is publicly disclosed and assigned a high severity rating of 8.7. The vulnerability's exploitation could lead to significant data breaches, data loss, or service disruption, making it critical for affected organizations to address promptly.

For European organizations, exploitation of CVE-2025-41013 could result in severe data breaches, unauthorized data manipulation, and potential disruption of services relying on TCMAN GIM. Confidentiality is at risk as attackers can extract sensitive information from the database. Integrity is compromised due to the ability to create, update, or delete records, potentially leading to corrupted or falsified data. Availability may also be affected if attackers delete critical data or disrupt database operations. Organizations in sectors such as healthcare, finance, manufacturing, or government using TCMAN GIM could face operational downtime, regulatory penalties under GDPR for data breaches, and reputational damage. The lack of known exploits currently provides a window for proactive mitigation, but the ease of exploitation and high impact necessitate urgent action. Attackers could leverage this vulnerability to pivot into broader network compromise or espionage activities targeting European entities.

1. Immediately implement input validation and sanitization on the 'idmant' parameter to prevent malicious SQL code injection. 2. Employ parameterized queries or prepared statements in the application code to separate SQL logic from user input. 3. Restrict database user privileges associated with the application to the minimum necessary, limiting the scope of potential damage. 4. Monitor web server logs and application logs for unusual or suspicious GET requests targeting '/PC/frmEPIS.aspx' with anomalous 'idmant' values. 5. Deploy Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) configured to detect and block SQL injection attempts targeting this endpoint. 6. Engage with TCMAN vendor or community to obtain patches or updates addressing this vulnerability as soon as they become available. 7. Conduct security assessments and penetration testing focusing on SQL injection vectors in TCMAN GIM deployments. 8. Educate development and operations teams about secure coding practices to prevent similar vulnerabilities in the future.
