Exploitability
| CWE ID | Description |
|---|---|
| CWE-89 | 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. |

AI Powered Q&A
How does this vulnerability affect compliance with common standards and regulations (like GDPR, HIPAA)?:
The vulnerability allows for information disclosure through SQL injection, which could potentially expose sensitive data. Such exposure may impact compliance with data protection regulations like GDPR or HIPAA, as unauthorized disclosure of personal or protected health information is a violation of these standards. However, the vulnerability has a low confidentiality impact and no integrity or availability impact, and it requires local access with user interaction, which somewhat limits the risk. The issue has been addressed in version 9.2.1 to ensure safe input handling. [2]
Can you explain this vulnerability to me?
CVE-2025-55703 is an error-based SQL injection vulnerability in the Sunbird Power IQ 9.2.0 API. It occurs because an outdated API endpoint improperly handles arrays without proper input validation, allowing attackers to manipulate SQL queries. Exploitation requires local access and specific input values to trigger error messages that reveal information. [2]
How can this vulnerability impact me? :
This vulnerability primarily impacts confidentiality by allowing attackers to disclose information through manipulated SQL queries. There is no reported impact on data integrity or availability. Exploitation requires local access and user interaction, making it less likely to be exploited remotely or automatically. [2]
How can this vulnerability be detected on my network or system? Can you suggest some commands?
This vulnerability requires local access and involves manipulating specific values in the API URL to trigger error-based SQL injection. Detection would involve monitoring for unusual or malformed API requests targeting the outdated API endpoint in Sunbird Power IQ 9.2.0. Since exploitation requires inserting specific values into the URL to cause error messages, inspecting logs for such suspicious API calls or error messages could help detect attempts. However, no specific detection commands are provided in the available resources. [2]
What immediate steps should I take to mitigate this vulnerability?
The immediate mitigation step is to upgrade Sunbird Power IQ from version 9.2.0 to version 9.2.1 or later, where the API call code has been updated to ensure safe handling of input values and fix the vulnerability. Additionally, restricting local access to the API and monitoring for suspicious API usage can help reduce risk until the update is applied. [2]
