Bold values are the worst case: easiest to exploit or largest impact.

Attack Vector: Network: The vulnerable component is bound to the network stack and the set of possible attackers extends beyond the other options listed, up to and including the entire Internet. Such a vulnerability is often termed 'remotely exploitable' and can be thought of as an attack being exploitable at the protocol level one or more network hops away (e.g., across one or more routers).
Attack Complexity: Low: Specialized access conditions or extenuating circumstances do not exist. An attacker can expect repeatable success against the vulnerable component.
Privileges Required: None: The attacker is unauthorized prior to attack, and therefore does not require any access to settings or files to carry out an attack.
User Interaction: None: The vulnerable system can be exploited without any interaction from any user.
Scope: Unchanged: An exploited vulnerability can only affect resources managed by the same security authority. In this case, the vulnerable component and the impacted component are either the same, or both are managed by the same security authority.
Confidentiality: High: There is total loss of confidentiality, resulting in all resources within the impacted component being divulged to the attacker. Alternatively, access to only some restricted information is obtained, but the disclosed information presents a direct, serious impact.
Integrity: High: There is a total loss of integrity, or a complete loss of protection. For example, the attacker is able to modify any/all files protected by the impacted component. Alternatively, only some files can be modified, but malicious modification would present a direct, serious consequence to the impacted component.
Availability: High: There is total loss of availability, resulting in the attacker being able to fully deny access to resources in the impacted component; this loss is either sustained (while the attacker continues to deliver the attack) or persistent (the condition persists even after the attack has completed). Alternatively, the attacker has the ability to deny some availability, but the loss of availability presents a direct, serious consequence to the impacted component (e.g., the attacker cannot disrupt existing connections, but can prevent new connections; the attacker can repeatedly exploit a vulnerability that, in each instance of a successful attack, leaks a only small amount of memory, but after repeated exploitation causes a service to become completely unavailable).

A missing step is not evidence of safety. Sources: cve.org (opens in a new tab), the Metasploit, Exploit-DB and nuclei-templates index as of 26 Oct 2026.

Disclosed: The CVE record is public on cve.org. Its publication is t = 0.
Detectable: A public nuclei template can find exposed instances, for defenders and attackers alike.
Weaponised: Public exploit code exists in Metasploit or Exploit-DB, or CISA SSVC or the CVSS exploit maturity reports a public proof of concept.
Exploited in the wild: CISA KEV lists it, CISA SSVC rates exploitation active, or a source reports attacks.
Observed by OffSeq Mirage: OffSeq Mirage honeypot sensors recorded attack traffic for this CVE, or found exposed hosts without attack traffic.

Moments are spaced evenly, not to scale; a dashed line marks a gap of six months or more. Deltas count from t = 0. Sources that give only a date (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, or a time of exactly 00:00Z) read “same day” rather than hours. Metasploit modules carry the flaw’s disclosure date, not their release date, and nuclei templates carry no date, so both appear above but not on the timeline.

AI-suggested

To mitigate CVE-2025-70024, organizations should first identify all instances of benkeen generatedata version 4.0.14 within their environments. Until an official patch is released, consider the following specific actions: 1) Restrict network access to the affected application and database servers using firewalls or network segmentation to limit exposure to trusted users only. 2) Employ Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) with custom rules to detect and block SQL injection attempts targeting the vulnerable endpoints. 3) Review and sanitize all input sources feeding into generatedata to ensure no malicious input can reach SQL queries. 4) If feasible, disable or isolate the use of generatedata in production environments or replace it with alternative tools that do not have this vulnerability. 5) Monitor logs and network traffic for unusual database queries or error messages indicative of injection attempts. 6) Prepare for rapid patch deployment once a vendor fix becomes available by establishing a vulnerability management process. 7) Educate developers and administrators about secure coding practices and the risks of SQL injection to prevent similar issues in the future.

Description

CVE-2025-70024 is a critical SQL injection vulnerability in benkeen generatedata version 4.0.14. It stems from improper neutralization of special elements in SQL commands (CWE-89), allowing unauthenticated remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL queries. The vulnerability has a CVSS score of 9.8, indicating high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability without requiring user interaction or privileges. Exploitation could lead to full database compromise, data leakage, or service disruption. No patches are currently available, and no known exploits have been reported in the wild. Organizations using benkeen generatedata 4.0.

Impact

The impact of CVE-2025-70024 is severe for organizations using benkeen generatedata 4.0.14. Successful exploitation can lead to full compromise of the underlying database, including unauthorized data access, data manipulation, and deletion. This can result in data breaches, loss of data integrity, and denial of service conditions. Confidential information such as customer data, credentials, or intellectual property could be exposed or altered. The availability of critical services relying on the database may be disrupted, causing operational downtime and reputational damage. Since the vulnerability requires no authentication or user interaction, it can be exploited by remote attackers at scale, increasing the risk of widespread attacks. Organizations using this software in production or test environments connected to sensitive systems are particularly vulnerable. The absence of patches increases the window of exposure, necessitating immediate mitigation to prevent exploitation.

CWE-89Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command ('SQL Injection') (opens in a new tab)
Base weaknessLikelihood of exploit: HighCWE Top 25 (2025): #2OWASP Top 10 A05:2025: Injection (opens in a new tab)
The product constructs all or part of an SQL command using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify the intended SQL command when it is sent to a downstream component. Without sufficient removal or quoting of SQL syntax in user-controllable inputs, the generated SQL query can cause those inputs to be interpreted as SQL instead of ordinary user data.
Architecture and Design · Libraries or Frameworks
Use a vetted library or framework that does not allow this weakness to occur or provides constructs that make this weakness easier to avoid.
Architecture and Design · Parameterization
If available, use structured mechanisms that automatically enforce the separation between data and code. These mechanisms may be able to provide the relevant quoting, encoding, and validation automatically, instead of relying on the developer to provide this capability at every point where output is generated.
Architecture and Design · Operation · Environment Hardening
Run your code using the lowest privileges that are required to accomplish the necessary tasks. If possible, create isolated accounts with limited privileges that are only used for a single task. That way, a successful attack will not immediately give the attacker access to the rest of the software or its environment.
