CVE-2025-52085 is a high-severity SQL injection vulnerability affecting the Yoosee application version 6.32.4. This vulnerability allows an authenticated user to inject arbitrary SQL queries through a backend API endpoint. Exploitation of this flaw can lead to unauthorized extraction of sensitive database information, including the database server banner and version, current database user and schema, DBMS user privileges, and arbitrary data from any table within the database. The vulnerability is classified under CWE-89 (Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command), indicating that user input is not properly sanitized before being incorporated into SQL queries. The CVSS v3.1 base score is 8.8, reflecting a high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability, with network attack vector, low attack complexity, requiring privileges (authenticated user), and no user interaction. Although no known exploits are currently reported in the wild, the vulnerability poses a significant risk due to the potential for data leakage and manipulation. The lack of available patches at the time of publication increases the urgency for organizations to apply mitigations or workarounds. The vulnerability affects a backend API endpoint, which suggests that attackers need valid credentials or compromised accounts to exploit it, but once exploited, it can lead to extensive data compromise and potentially further lateral movement within the affected environment.

For European organizations using the Yoosee application, this vulnerability could lead to severe data breaches involving sensitive customer or operational data stored in backend databases. The ability to extract arbitrary data and database metadata compromises confidentiality and could facilitate further attacks such as privilege escalation or data manipulation, impacting data integrity and availability. Organizations in sectors with strict data protection regulations, such as GDPR, face legal and financial repercussions if personal data is exposed. Additionally, the breach of internal databases could disrupt business operations and damage organizational reputation. Since exploitation requires authentication, insider threats or compromised credentials pose a significant risk. The vulnerability also increases the attack surface for advanced persistent threats targeting IoT or smart device ecosystems, where Yoosee is commonly deployed, potentially affecting critical infrastructure or consumer privacy within Europe.

1. Immediate mitigation should include restricting access to the vulnerable API endpoint to trusted users and networks only, using network segmentation and firewall rules. 2. Enforce strong authentication mechanisms and monitor for unusual login activities to detect potential credential compromise. 3. Implement input validation and parameterized queries or prepared statements in the backend API to prevent SQL injection. 4. Conduct thorough code reviews and security testing of the Yoosee application, focusing on API endpoints handling database queries. 5. Apply principle of least privilege to database users to limit the scope of data accessible even if SQL injection occurs. 6. Monitor database logs for suspicious queries or anomalies indicative of injection attempts. 7. If patches become available, prioritize immediate deployment. 8. Educate users and administrators about the risks of credential sharing and phishing attacks that could lead to authentication compromise. 9. Consider deploying Web Application Firewalls (WAF) with SQL injection detection rules tailored to the Yoosee application traffic patterns.
