CVE-2025-59743 is a critical SQL injection vulnerability identified in AndSoft's e-TMS version 25.03, a transportation management system widely used for logistics and supply chain operations. The vulnerability arises from improper neutralization of special elements in SQL commands (CWE-89), specifically within the handling of the 'SessionID' cookie parameter in the '/inc/connect/CONNECTION.ASP' endpoint. An attacker can exploit this flaw by sending crafted POST requests that manipulate the SQL queries executed by the backend database. This manipulation can lead to unauthorized retrieval, creation, modification, or deletion of database records without requiring authentication or user interaction. The vulnerability has a CVSS 4.0 base score of 9.3, indicating a critical severity level, with network attack vector, low attack complexity, no privileges or user interaction needed, and high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. Although no known exploits have been reported in the wild yet, the ease of exploitation and the critical impact make this a significant threat. The lack of available patches at the time of publication increases the urgency for organizations to implement mitigations and monitor for potential exploitation attempts.

For European organizations, especially those in logistics, transportation, and supply chain sectors relying on AndSoft's e-TMS, this vulnerability poses a severe risk. Exploitation could lead to unauthorized access to sensitive operational data, manipulation of shipment records, disruption of logistics workflows, and potential data loss or corruption. This can result in operational downtime, financial losses, regulatory non-compliance (e.g., GDPR breaches due to exposure of personal data), and reputational damage. Given the critical nature of transportation management systems in European trade and commerce, successful exploitation could also disrupt supply chains, affecting multiple industries and cross-border operations within the EU and neighboring countries.

1. Immediate implementation of network-level protections such as Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) configured to detect and block SQL injection patterns targeting the 'SessionID' cookie and the '/inc/connect/CONNECTION.ASP' endpoint. 2. Conduct thorough input validation and sanitization on all parameters, especially cookies, to ensure special characters are properly neutralized before database queries are executed. 3. Employ parameterized queries or prepared statements in the application code to prevent injection attacks. 4. Restrict database user permissions to the minimum necessary, limiting the ability to create, update, or delete data unless explicitly required. 5. Monitor logs and network traffic for unusual POST requests or anomalies related to the vulnerable endpoint. 6. Engage with AndSoft for timely patch releases and apply updates as soon as they become available. 7. Consider isolating the affected application components within segmented network zones to reduce exposure. 8. Conduct security audits and penetration testing focused on injection flaws to identify any other potential weaknesses.
