CVE-2025-67280 identifies multiple Hibernate Query Language (HQL) injection vulnerabilities in the TIM BPM Suite and TIM FLOW software products up to version 9.1.2. HQL injection is a type of injection attack where an attacker manipulates the HQL queries used by the application to interact with the database, allowing unauthorized access or data extraction. In this case, the vulnerabilities enable a low privileged user to craft malicious HQL queries that bypass normal access controls, resulting in the extraction of other users' passwords and sensitive data. The injection points likely exist due to insufficient input validation or improper parameterization of HQL queries within the application code. Since the attacker only requires low privilege access, the attack surface is broad, and exploitation can lead to significant breaches of confidentiality and integrity. No public exploits have been reported yet, and no official patches or mitigations have been linked, indicating a need for urgent attention from vendors and users. The absence of a CVSS score suggests the vulnerability is newly published and under evaluation. The impact is severe because passwords and sensitive data exposure can lead to further compromise, lateral movement, and data breaches within organizations using these BPM tools. The vulnerabilities affect business process management environments, which often contain critical operational data and workflows, increasing the risk to enterprise operations.

For European organizations, the impact of CVE-2025-67280 is substantial. TIM BPM Suite and TIM FLOW are used to manage and automate business processes, often containing sensitive operational, financial, and personal data. Successful exploitation could lead to unauthorized disclosure of user credentials and sensitive information, enabling attackers to escalate privileges, impersonate users, or exfiltrate confidential data. This can disrupt business continuity, damage reputation, and result in regulatory non-compliance, especially under GDPR requirements for data protection. Organizations in sectors such as finance, manufacturing, healthcare, and government that rely on these BPM platforms are particularly vulnerable. The breach of passwords could also facilitate further attacks across interconnected systems. The lack of known exploits currently provides a window for proactive mitigation, but the ease of exploitation by low privileged users increases urgency. The overall risk to confidentiality and integrity is high, with potential cascading effects on availability if attackers leverage stolen credentials for ransomware or sabotage.

1. Immediate mitigation should focus on restricting access to TIM BPM Suite and TIM FLOW interfaces to trusted users and networks only, minimizing exposure to untrusted actors. 2. Implement strict input validation and parameterization of all HQL queries to prevent injection attacks; developers should review and refactor code to eliminate unsafe query constructions. 3. Monitor application logs for unusual query patterns or access attempts indicative of injection exploitation. 4. Enforce strong authentication and role-based access controls to limit the privileges of users, reducing the impact of any compromised account. 5. Coordinate with the vendor for patches or updates addressing these vulnerabilities as soon as they become available. 6. Conduct security assessments and penetration testing focused on injection vulnerabilities within BPM environments. 7. Educate users and administrators on recognizing suspicious activity and reporting incidents promptly. 8. Consider deploying Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) with custom rules to detect and block HQL injection attempts as an interim protective measure.
