CVE-2025-69213 identifies a critical SQL Injection vulnerability in the openstamanager software developed by devcode-it, specifically affecting versions up to and including 2.9.8. The vulnerability resides in the ajax_complete.php script, within the get_sedi operation, where the idanagrafica parameter is improperly sanitized. This improper neutralization of special elements allows an authenticated attacker to inject arbitrary SQL commands. Because the attacker only requires authenticated access with low privileges and no user interaction, the attack surface is significant. Successful exploitation can lead to unauthorized database queries, data leakage, modification, or deletion, severely impacting the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the system's data. The vulnerability has a CVSS 4.0 base score of 8.7, reflecting its high severity due to network exploitability, low attack complexity, and high impact on all security properties. At the time of disclosure, no patches or fixes are available, and no known exploits have been observed in the wild. Openstamanager is an open-source management tool used primarily for technical assistance and invoicing, often deployed in small to medium enterprises (SMEs). The lack of a patch and the critical nature of the vulnerability necessitate immediate mitigation efforts to prevent potential exploitation.

For European organizations, this vulnerability poses a significant risk, especially for SMEs and service providers relying on openstamanager for invoicing and technical assistance management. Exploitation could lead to unauthorized access to sensitive financial and customer data, resulting in data breaches, regulatory non-compliance (e.g., GDPR violations), financial fraud, and reputational damage. The integrity of invoicing and assistance records could be compromised, disrupting business operations and causing financial losses. Additionally, attackers could manipulate or delete critical data, impacting availability and business continuity. Given the authenticated nature of the exploit, insider threats or compromised credentials could facilitate attacks. The absence of a patch increases the window of exposure, making proactive defenses essential. The impact is heightened in sectors where invoicing and technical assistance data are critical, such as manufacturing, healthcare, and professional services prevalent in Europe.

Until an official patch is released, European organizations should implement several specific mitigations: 1) Restrict access to the openstamanager application and its ajax_complete.php endpoint to trusted internal networks and authenticated users with the minimum necessary privileges. 2) Employ web application firewalls (WAFs) with custom rules to detect and block suspicious SQL injection patterns, particularly targeting the idanagrafica parameter. 3) Conduct thorough input validation and sanitization at the application or proxy level to neutralize special characters in user inputs. 4) Monitor database logs and application logs for unusual queries or error messages indicative of injection attempts. 5) Enforce strong authentication mechanisms and regularly audit user accounts to prevent credential misuse. 6) Isolate the database server from direct internet exposure and ensure secure configurations. 7) Prepare incident response plans for potential data breaches involving invoicing and assistance data. 8) Engage with the vendor or open source community to track patch developments and apply updates promptly once available.
