CVE-2025-59213 is a SQL Injection vulnerability identified in Microsoft Configuration Manager 2409, version 1.0.0. The root cause is improper neutralization of special elements used in SQL commands, classified under CWE-89. This flaw allows an attacker with local access to inject malicious SQL code into the application's database queries. Because the vulnerability does not require prior authentication or user interaction, an attacker who gains local access can exploit this to escalate privileges, potentially gaining administrative control over the Configuration Manager environment. The impact includes unauthorized data disclosure, modification, and deletion, as well as disruption of service. The CVSS v3.1 score of 8.4 reflects high severity, with attack vector local (AV:L), low attack complexity (AC:L), no privileges required (PR:N), no user interaction (UI:N), and high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability (C:H/I:H/A:H). The vulnerability was reserved on September 11, 2025, and published on October 14, 2025. No public exploits or patches are currently available, increasing the risk window. Microsoft Configuration Manager is widely used for managing large-scale Windows environments, making this vulnerability particularly critical for enterprise IT operations.

For European organizations, this vulnerability poses a significant threat to enterprise IT infrastructure security. Microsoft Configuration Manager is extensively used across Europe for endpoint management, software deployment, and configuration compliance. Exploitation could allow attackers to escalate privileges locally, leading to unauthorized access to sensitive corporate data, manipulation of configuration settings, and potential disruption of IT services. This could result in data breaches, operational downtime, and compliance violations under regulations such as GDPR. The local attack vector means that insider threats or attackers who gain initial foothold on a system can leverage this vulnerability to deepen their access. The high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability could severely affect critical sectors including finance, healthcare, and government institutions across Europe.

1. Monitor Microsoft’s official channels closely for patches addressing CVE-2025-59213 and apply them immediately upon release. 2. Until patches are available, restrict local access to systems running Microsoft Configuration Manager to trusted personnel only. 3. Implement strict access controls and auditing on Configuration Manager servers to detect unusual database query patterns or privilege escalations. 4. Employ application whitelisting and endpoint detection and response (EDR) solutions to monitor and block suspicious local activities. 5. Conduct regular security assessments and penetration testing focusing on local privilege escalation vectors. 6. Educate system administrators about the risks of local access exploitation and enforce the principle of least privilege. 7. Consider network segmentation to isolate Configuration Manager infrastructure from less trusted network zones. 8. Review and harden SQL database permissions used by Configuration Manager to limit the impact of potential injection attacks.
