CVE-2025-32871: SQL Injection Vulnerability in TeleControl Server Basic

Overview

In the rapidly evolving world of cybersecurity, new threats and vulnerabilities are constantly emerging. One such vulnerability, CVE-2025-32871, affects TeleControl Server Basic, a widely-used software application. This vulnerability has been identified in versions of the application prior to V3.1.2.2.
The vulnerability exposes the application to SQL injection attacks which, if successfully exploited, could allow an authenticated remote attacker to bypass authorization controls. This means they could read from and write to the application’s database and execute code with “NT AUTHORITYNetworkService” permissions. Given the potential for system compromise or data leakage, this vulnerability presents a serious risk to organizations using the affected software.

Vulnerability Summary

CVE ID: CVE-2025-32871
Severity: High (8.8 CVSS Score)
Attack Vector: Network
Privileges Required: Low
User Interaction: None
Impact: Potential system compromise and data leakage

Affected Products

Product | Affected Versions

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

This exploit works by exploiting the ‘MigrateDatabase’ method that is used internally by the TeleControl Server Basic. An attacker can inject SQL commands into the data input fields of this method. Since the application does not properly sanitize the inputs, these malicious commands can be executed directly on the application’s database.
This, in turn, allows the attacker to bypass authorization controls, enabling them to read from and write to the application’s database and execute code with “NT AUTHORITY\NetworkService” permissions. The attacker can gain control over the system and potentially access sensitive data.

Conceptual Example Code

An attacker with authenticated access could potentially exploit the vulnerability by sending a malicious request similar to:

POST /MigrateDatabase HTTP/1.1
Host: target.example.com
Content-Type: application/sql
{ "database_command": "DROP TABLE users;" }

In this conceptual example, the “DROP TABLE users;” command would delete the ‘users’ table from the database, potentially causing significant data loss and disruption.
Finally, it is recommended to apply the vendor patch as soon as possible or use a Web Application Firewall (WAF) or Intrusion Detection System (IDS) as a temporary mitigation. Regularly updating and patching software applications is crucial in minimizing the risk of such vulnerabilities.
