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
Can you explain this vulnerability to me?
CVE-2025-59920 is a high-severity blind authenticated SQL injection vulnerability in time@work version 7.0.5, a software used for tracking hours worked on projects.
The vulnerability occurs in the ‘IDClient’ parameter of a query URL that displays projects assigned to a user. If this URL is copied and opened in a new browser window, the parameter can be exploited to perform SQL injection.
Exploitation requires authentication. If the attacker uses a TWAdmin user with sysadmin privileges, they can execute arbitrary system commands. If the user does not have sysadmin privileges, they can still extract data from the database.
How can this vulnerability impact me? :
This vulnerability can have serious impacts depending on the privileges of the attacker.
- If exploited by a user with sysadmin privileges, arbitrary system commands can be executed, potentially leading to full system compromise.
- If exploited by a user without sysadmin privileges, sensitive data can be extracted from the database, leading to data breaches.
How does this vulnerability affect compliance with common standards and regulations (like GDPR, HIPAA)?:

[{'type': 'paragraph', 'content': "The vulnerability affects the 'IDClient' parameter in the query URL used by time@work version 7.0.5. Detection involves identifying blind authenticated SQL injection attempts on this parameter."}, {'type': 'paragraph', 'content': "Since exploitation requires authentication, monitoring authenticated requests to the application for unusual or malformed queries targeting the 'IDClient' parameter can help detect attempts."}, {'type': 'paragraph', 'content': 'No specific commands or detection tools are provided in the available information.'}] [1]
What immediate steps should I take to mitigate this vulnerability?
[{'type': 'paragraph', 'content': 'The vulnerability was resolved by systems@work in version 8.0.4 of time@work.'}, {'type': 'paragraph', 'content': 'Immediate mitigation steps include upgrading time@work from version 7.0.5 to version 8.0.4 or later.'}, {'type': 'paragraph', 'content': "Additionally, restricting access to the application to trusted users and monitoring for suspicious activity on the 'IDClient' parameter can help reduce risk until the upgrade is applied."}] [1]
