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 SQL injection vulnerability in the YouDataSum CPAS Audit Management System allows remote unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands, potentially leading to unauthorized data access.
Such unauthorized access to sensitive data can result in violations of data protection regulations and standards like GDPR and HIPAA, which require strict controls to protect personal and health information from unauthorized disclosure.
Therefore, exploitation of this vulnerability could compromise compliance with these regulations by exposing protected data and failing to maintain required security safeguards.
Can you explain this vulnerability to me?
[{'type': 'paragraph', 'content': "CVE-2025-57529 is an SQL injection vulnerability in the YouDataSum CPAS Audit Management System versions up to and including v4.9. It occurs in the API endpoint /cpasList/findArchiveReportByDah due to insufficient input validation of the 'dah' parameter."}, {'type': 'paragraph', 'content': "The vulnerability arises because the system constructs SQL queries by directly concatenating the 'dah' parameter without sanitization or parameterization, allowing attackers to inject arbitrary SQL commands."}, {'type': 'paragraph', 'content': 'This flaw enables remote unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands on the backend database by sending crafted input to the vulnerable parameter.'}] [1]
How can this vulnerability impact me? :
Exploitation of this SQL injection vulnerability can lead to unauthorized access to sensitive data stored in the backend database.
Attackers may manipulate data, extract confidential information, or cause denial of service by executing arbitrary SQL commands.
Since the vulnerability can be exploited remotely without authentication, it poses a significant security risk to affected systems.
How can this vulnerability be detected on my network or system? Can you suggest some commands?
[{'type': 'paragraph', 'content': "This vulnerability can be detected by sending crafted HTTP POST requests to the vulnerable endpoint and observing the behavior of the system. Specifically, sending a payload to the /cpasm4/cpasList/findArchiveReportByDah endpoint with a malicious 'dah' parameter that includes SQL injection code can confirm the vulnerability."}, {'type': 'paragraph', 'content': 'An example command using curl to test for the vulnerability is:'}, {'type': 'list_item', 'content': 'curl -X POST http://<target-host>/cpasm4/cpasList/findArchiveReportByDah -d "dah=0\' AND (SELECT 6451 FROM (SELECT(SLEEP(5)))oufm) AND \'lRBm\'=\'lRBm"'}, {'type': 'paragraph', 'content': 'If the response is delayed by approximately 5 seconds, it indicates that the SQL injection is successful and the system is vulnerable.'}] [1]
What immediate steps should I take to mitigate this vulnerability?
[{'type': 'paragraph', 'content': 'Immediate mitigation steps include:'}, {'type': 'list_item', 'content': 'Restrict access to the vulnerable endpoint /cpasm4/cpasList/findArchiveReportByDah to trusted users or networks.'}, {'type': 'list_item', 'content': "Implement input validation and sanitization on the 'dah' parameter to prevent SQL injection."}, {'type': 'list_item', 'content': 'Use parameterized queries or prepared statements in the code instead of string concatenation to construct SQL queries.'}, {'type': 'list_item', 'content': "Monitor logs for suspicious activity targeting the 'dah' parameter or the vulnerable endpoint."}, {'type': 'paragraph', 'content': 'Long term, update or patch the CPAS Audit Management System to a version that fixes this vulnerability.'}] [1]
