Publication date: 2025-04-14
The latest security alert concerns the SicommNet BASEC platform—a widely utilized tool for managing government tenders in the United States—that remains critically vulnerable due to a severe SQL injection flaw (CVE-2025-22371). Despite being notified well over three years ago, the vendor has failed to implement any timely remedial measures, placing users at significant risk.

Unmasking the Threat
The vulnerability originates from the admin_login_handler of BASEC’s SaaS login page, where improper neutralization of special SQL elements allows attackers to bypass authentication and execute arbitrary commands. With a CVSS v4.0 base score of 9.3, this flaw leaves the affected system—dating back to December 2021—wide open for remote exploitation. An unauthenticated attacker can not only log in as an administrator but also manipulate or extract sensitive information, leading to a comprehensive system breach.
Vendor Inaction: A Risk Multiplying Factor
Despite being informed about this issue as far back as February 2022, SicommNet has taken no substantive action to remediate the vulnerability. Multiple attempts by researchers—including persistent outreach via emails, LinkedIn messages, telephone calls, and coordination with the U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA)—have gone unanswered. This failure to respond in time exemplifies a systemic problem: when vendors delay critical updates, the window of opportunity for malicious actors widens, and systems are left exposed to exploitations that can have far-reaching consequences.
