CVE-2025-44830 is a critical SQL injection vulnerability affecting EngineerCMS versions 1.02 through 2.0.5. The vulnerability exists in the /project/addprojtemplet interface, which likely handles the addition of project templates within the CMS. SQL injection (CWE-89) vulnerabilities allow attackers to inject malicious SQL code into backend database queries, potentially enabling unauthorized data access, data manipulation, or even full system compromise. According to the CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H) and a high score of 9.8, this vulnerability is remotely exploitable over the network without any authentication or user interaction, with low attack complexity. The impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability is high, meaning attackers can read, modify, or delete sensitive data and disrupt service availability. Although no known exploits have been reported in the wild yet, the severity and ease of exploitation make this a significant threat. The lack of available patches at the time of publication increases the urgency for mitigation. EngineerCMS is a content management system, and such platforms often manage critical organizational data and web content, making this vulnerability a serious risk for any organization using affected versions.

For European organizations, exploitation of this SQL injection vulnerability could lead to severe data breaches, including exposure of sensitive customer, employee, or business data. Integrity of data could be compromised, leading to misinformation or corrupted records, which can disrupt business operations and damage trust. Availability impacts could result in denial of service, affecting web presence and business continuity. Organizations in sectors such as finance, healthcare, government, and critical infrastructure, which often rely on CMS platforms for public-facing and internal applications, are particularly at risk. The breach of personal data could also lead to violations of the EU's GDPR regulations, resulting in significant legal and financial penalties. Additionally, the remote and unauthenticated nature of the exploit increases the likelihood of automated attacks and widespread scanning by threat actors targeting vulnerable EngineerCMS installations across Europe.

Immediate mitigation steps include conducting a thorough inventory to identify all instances of EngineerCMS and verifying their versions. Until an official patch is released, organizations should implement web application firewall (WAF) rules specifically designed to detect and block SQL injection attempts targeting the /project/addprojtemplet endpoint. Input validation and parameterized queries should be enforced if custom modifications are possible. Network segmentation and restricting access to the CMS management interfaces to trusted IP addresses can reduce exposure. Continuous monitoring of logs for suspicious database queries or unusual activity related to this interface is critical. Organizations should also subscribe to vendor advisories for timely patch releases and apply updates promptly once available. Additionally, performing penetration testing focused on SQL injection vectors can help identify other potential injection points. Backup strategies should be reviewed and tested to ensure rapid recovery in case of data compromise.
