CVE-2025-6169 is a critical SQL Injection vulnerability identified in the WIMP website co-construction management platform developed by HAMASTAR Technology. This vulnerability arises from improper neutralization of special elements used in SQL commands (CWE-89), allowing unauthenticated remote attackers to inject arbitrary SQL code into the backend database queries. Because the vulnerability requires no authentication or user interaction and can be exploited remotely over the network, attackers can leverage it to read, modify, or delete sensitive data stored within the platform's database. The CVSS 3.1 base score of 9.8 reflects the high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability, as well as the ease of exploitation (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N). The vulnerability affects version 0 of the WIMP product, which is presumably the initial or early release. Although no public exploits have been reported yet, the critical nature and straightforward exploitation vector make it a prime target for attackers once exploit code becomes available. The vulnerability could allow attackers to exfiltrate sensitive project management data, alter project records, or disrupt platform operations, severely impacting organizations relying on WIMP for collaborative construction management.

For European organizations using HAMASTAR Technology's WIMP platform, this vulnerability poses a significant risk to the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of their project management data. Given that WIMP is a co-construction management tool, compromised data could include sensitive architectural plans, contracts, schedules, and communication logs. Unauthorized data disclosure could lead to intellectual property theft, competitive disadvantage, or regulatory compliance violations under GDPR. Data modification or deletion could disrupt ongoing construction projects, causing financial losses and reputational damage. The unauthenticated nature of the exploit means attackers do not need valid credentials, increasing the likelihood of exploitation by external threat actors. Furthermore, availability impacts could halt project workflows, affecting multiple stakeholders. The lack of a patch at the time of disclosure increases exposure. Organizations in sectors such as construction, real estate development, and infrastructure management are particularly vulnerable if they rely on this platform.

1. Immediate mitigation should focus on isolating the WIMP platform from direct internet exposure by placing it behind a secure VPN or firewall restricting access to trusted IPs only. 2. Conduct a thorough code review and implement parameterized queries or prepared statements to eliminate SQL injection vectors in the application code. 3. Employ web application firewalls (WAFs) with custom rules to detect and block SQL injection payloads targeting the WIMP platform until an official patch is released. 4. Monitor database and application logs for unusual query patterns or error messages indicative of injection attempts. 5. Restrict database user privileges to the minimum necessary, preventing unauthorized data modification or deletion even if injection occurs. 6. Engage with HAMASTAR Technology for timely updates or patches and plan for rapid deployment once available. 7. Educate internal security teams and developers about SQL injection risks and secure coding practices to prevent similar vulnerabilities. 8. Consider alternative platforms or temporary suspension of WIMP usage if critical projects are at risk and no immediate patch is available.
