CVE-2025-60267 identifies a SQL injection vulnerability in xckk version 9.6, specifically within the 'cond' parameter of the notice/list endpoint. SQL injection vulnerabilities occur when user-supplied input is improperly sanitized and directly incorporated into SQL queries, allowing attackers to manipulate the query logic. In this case, the lack of secure filtering on the 'cond' parameter permits an attacker to inject arbitrary SQL commands. This can lead to unauthorized data retrieval, modification, or deletion, and potentially allow attackers to escalate privileges or execute administrative operations on the database. The vulnerability does not require authentication or user interaction, increasing its risk profile. No CVSS score has been assigned yet, and no public exploits are known at this time. However, the vulnerability's presence in a widely used version of xckk suggests a significant attack surface. The absence of patch links indicates that a fix may not yet be available, emphasizing the need for immediate mitigation efforts. The vulnerability's exploitation could compromise confidentiality, integrity, and availability of affected systems, especially in environments where xckk manages critical or sensitive data.

For European organizations, the impact of CVE-2025-60267 could be severe. Exploitation could lead to unauthorized access to sensitive data, including personal data protected under GDPR, resulting in legal and financial consequences. Data integrity could be compromised, affecting business operations and trustworthiness of information systems. Availability might also be impacted if attackers execute destructive SQL commands or cause database crashes. Organizations in sectors such as finance, healthcare, government, and critical infrastructure that rely on xckk for data management are particularly at risk. The lack of authentication requirements for exploitation means attackers could remotely target vulnerable systems without prior access. This vulnerability could also be leveraged as a foothold for further network compromise. The reputational damage and regulatory penalties for data breaches in Europe could be substantial, making proactive mitigation essential.

To mitigate CVE-2025-60267, organizations should immediately implement strict input validation and sanitization on the 'cond' parameter and any other user inputs interacting with SQL queries. Employ parameterized queries or prepared statements to prevent direct injection of user data into SQL commands. If a patch becomes available from the xckk vendor, it should be applied promptly. In the absence of a patch, consider deploying Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) with rules specifically designed to detect and block SQL injection attempts targeting the notice/list endpoint. Conduct thorough code reviews and security testing to identify and remediate similar vulnerabilities. Monitor logs and network traffic for unusual database query patterns or errors indicative of injection attempts. Limit database user privileges to the minimum necessary to reduce potential damage. Additionally, ensure regular backups are maintained to enable recovery in case of data corruption or loss.
