CVE-2025-68914 identifies an SQL Injection vulnerability in the Riello UPS NetMan 208 Application versions prior to 1.12, specifically in the cgi-bin/login.cgi script's username parameter. This vulnerability arises from improper neutralization of special elements in SQL commands (CWE-89), allowing an attacker to inject arbitrary SQL statements. Since the login.cgi script is accessible remotely and does not require authentication or user interaction, an attacker can exploit this vulnerability over the network. The injection flaw enables unauthorized modification of the backend database, including destructive actions such as deleting the LOGINFAILEDTABLE table, which likely tracks failed login attempts. The CVSS v3.1 base score is 6.5 (medium), reflecting the network attack vector, low attack complexity, no privileges or user interaction required, and limited confidentiality and integrity impact without affecting availability. No patches are currently linked, and no known exploits have been reported in the wild, but the vulnerability poses a significant risk to the integrity of the UPS management system's data. Given that Riello NetMan is used to manage uninterruptible power supplies, exploitation could indirectly affect power management and operational continuity in critical environments. The vulnerability's presence in a network-facing CGI script increases the attack surface, making it a priority for remediation in affected environments.

For European organizations, this vulnerability could compromise the integrity of UPS management systems, potentially leading to unauthorized deletion or alteration of critical authentication or logging data. This may hinder incident response and audit capabilities, and in worst cases, disrupt power management operations indirectly by corrupting system state or logs. Industrial facilities, data centers, hospitals, and other critical infrastructure relying on Riello UPS systems could face operational risks. The vulnerability's remote exploitability without authentication increases the likelihood of exploitation by external threat actors. While availability is not directly impacted, the integrity loss and potential for further exploitation through compromised systems pose a medium-level threat. The impact is particularly relevant for sectors with stringent uptime and security requirements, such as energy, manufacturing, healthcare, and finance within Europe.

1. Apply vendor patches or updates as soon as they become available for Riello NetMan 208 to remediate the SQL Injection vulnerability. 2. Until patches are released, restrict network access to the cgi-bin/login.cgi interface by implementing network segmentation and firewall rules limiting access to trusted management networks only. 3. Deploy Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) with SQL injection detection and prevention capabilities to monitor and block malicious payloads targeting the login.cgi endpoint. 4. Conduct regular security assessments and code reviews of custom or third-party CGI scripts to identify and remediate injection flaws. 5. Implement strict input validation and parameterized queries in the application to prevent SQL injection. 6. Monitor logs for unusual database activity or repeated failed login attempts that could indicate exploitation attempts. 7. Educate IT and security teams about this vulnerability and ensure incident response plans include scenarios involving UPS management system compromise.
