CVE-2025-67829 is a SQL injection vulnerability identified in Mura CMS, a content management system widely used for building websites and web applications. The vulnerability resides in the beanFeed.cfc file, specifically within the getQuery function that processes the sortDirection parameter. This parameter is used to determine the sorting order of database query results. Due to improper input sanitization or validation, an attacker can inject malicious SQL statements via the sortDirection parameter, which the backend database executes. This can allow attackers to manipulate SQL queries, potentially leading to unauthorized data retrieval, data modification, or even complete compromise of the database depending on the privileges of the database user. The vulnerability affects all versions of Mura CMS prior to 10.1.14, with no patch links currently provided, indicating that a fix may be forthcoming or that users should upgrade to 10.1.14 or later. No known exploits are reported in the wild, but the ease of exploitation typical of SQL injection vulnerabilities and the lack of authentication requirements make this a significant risk. The absence of a CVSS score requires an assessment based on impact and exploitability factors. Given that SQL injection can compromise confidentiality, integrity, and availability, and that exploitation does not require user interaction or authentication, this vulnerability is considered high severity. Organizations using Mura CMS should be vigilant and prepare to apply patches promptly once available.

The potential impact of CVE-2025-67829 is substantial for organizations running vulnerable versions of Mura CMS. Successful exploitation can lead to unauthorized access to sensitive data stored in the backend database, including user credentials, personal information, or business-critical data. Attackers may also modify or delete data, disrupting business operations or damaging data integrity. In worst-case scenarios, attackers could escalate privileges within the database or the hosting environment, leading to full system compromise. This could result in data breaches, regulatory non-compliance, reputational damage, and financial losses. Since Mura CMS is used globally, organizations across various sectors including e-commerce, education, and government that rely on this CMS are at risk. The lack of known exploits currently provides a window for proactive mitigation, but the vulnerability's nature demands urgent attention to prevent exploitation once public exploit code becomes available.

To mitigate CVE-2025-67829, organizations should take the following specific actions: 1) Immediately identify all instances of Mura CMS in their environment and verify the version in use. 2) Upgrade all Mura CMS installations to version 10.1.14 or later, where the vulnerability is fixed. 3) Until patches are applied, implement web application firewall (WAF) rules to detect and block suspicious SQL injection patterns targeting the sortDirection parameter in beanFeed.cfc requests. 4) Conduct thorough input validation and sanitization on all user-supplied inputs, especially parameters influencing database queries. 5) Review database user privileges to ensure least privilege principles are enforced, limiting the potential damage of any injection attack. 6) Monitor database logs and web server logs for unusual query patterns or errors indicative of attempted SQL injection. 7) Educate development and security teams about secure coding practices to prevent similar injection flaws. 8) Prepare incident response plans to quickly address any detected exploitation attempts. These targeted measures go beyond generic advice by focusing on the specific vulnerable component and parameter.
