CVE-2025-59008 is a high-severity SQL Injection vulnerability (CWE-89) found in the PressTigers ZIP Code Based Content Protection product, affecting versions up to 1.0.0. The vulnerability arises from improper neutralization of special elements used in SQL commands, allowing an attacker with high privileges (PR:H) to inject malicious SQL code remotely (AV:N) without requiring user interaction (UI:N). The vulnerability impacts confidentiality severely (C:H), while integrity remains unaffected (I:N), and availability is slightly impacted (A:L). The scope is changed (S:C), indicating that the vulnerability can affect resources beyond the initially vulnerable component. Although no known exploits are currently reported in the wild, the vulnerability's characteristics suggest that an attacker with authenticated access could leverage this flaw to extract sensitive data from the backend database, potentially leading to data breaches or unauthorized data exposure. The lack of available patches at the time of publication increases the risk for organizations using this product. The vulnerability is particularly critical because it allows remote exploitation over the network with low attack complexity, making it a significant threat to systems relying on this content protection mechanism.

For European organizations, this vulnerability poses a significant risk, especially for those using PressTigers ZIP Code Based Content Protection to restrict or customize content based on user location. Exploitation could lead to unauthorized disclosure of sensitive customer or business data stored in backend databases, violating GDPR and other data protection regulations. The confidentiality breach could result in regulatory fines, reputational damage, and loss of customer trust. Additionally, the partial availability impact could disrupt content delivery services, affecting user experience and business operations. Since the vulnerability requires authenticated access, insider threats or compromised credentials could be leveraged by attackers to exploit this flaw. Organizations in sectors such as e-commerce, media, and digital services that rely on ZIP code-based content filtering are particularly at risk. The cross-component impact (scope changed) means that exploitation could affect multiple systems or data stores interconnected with the vulnerable application, amplifying the potential damage.

European organizations should immediately audit their use of PressTigers ZIP Code Based Content Protection and restrict access to the application to trusted users only. Implement strict authentication and authorization controls to minimize the risk of credential compromise. Employ web application firewalls (WAFs) with custom rules to detect and block SQL injection patterns targeting this product. Conduct thorough input validation and parameterized query enforcement within the application code if customization is possible. Monitor logs for unusual database query patterns or failed injection attempts. Since no official patches are available yet, consider isolating the vulnerable component within the network or disabling the ZIP code-based content protection feature temporarily if feasible. Engage with PressTigers for updates on patches or mitigations. Additionally, perform regular security assessments and penetration testing focused on injection vulnerabilities to identify and remediate similar issues proactively.
