CVE-2025-32828: SQL Injection Vulnerability in TeleControl Server Basic

Overview

The CVE-2025-32828 is a significant cybersecurity vulnerability that affects all versions of TeleControl Server Basic prior to V3.1.2.2. This vulnerability exposes systems to SQL injection attacks, a type of cybersecurity threat that can have severe consequences, including unauthorized access to sensitive data and potential system compromise. The affected application is particularly susceptible to these threats through the ‘UpdateProjectCrossCommunications’ method. Understanding the nature of this vulnerability and the mitigation strategies available is crucial to maintaining robust cybersecurity measures.

Vulnerability Summary

TeleControl Server Basic | All versions < V3.1.2.2 How the Exploit Works

The CVE-2025-32828 exploit takes advantage of the ‘UpdateProjectCrossCommunications’ method in TeleControl Server Basic. This method is vulnerable to SQL injection, a type of attack that involves inserting malicious SQL code into an application’s input data. The attacker, once authenticated, can manipulate the SQL queries within the application to bypass authorization controls, thus gaining access to read from and write to the application’s database. In extreme circumstances, the attacker can execute code with “NT AUTHORITYNetworkService” permissions, which could lead to severe system compromises.

Conceptual Example Code

Here is an example of a malicious HTTP request that might be used to exploit this vulnerability:

POST /UpdateProjectCrossCommunications HTTP/1.1
Host: vulnerable.example.com
Content-Type: application/json
{
"project_id": "1; DROP TABLE users; --"
}

In this example, the “project_id” parameter has been manipulated to include a SQL command that, when executed, will delete the “users” table from the database. This is a conceptual example only and does not represent an actual exploit.

Mitigation Guidance

The most effective way to address this vulnerability is to apply the vendor patch, upgrading to a version of TeleControl Server Basic that is V3.1.2.2 or later. In the absence of this option, using a Web Application Firewall (WAF) or Intrusion Detection System (IDS) can help to detect and prevent SQL injection attacks as temporary mitigation. However, these should not be considered long-term solutions, as they do not address the underlying vulnerability in the software.
