A critical SQL Injection vulnerability in the Seeyon Zhiyuan Interconnect FE Collaborative Office Platform

 

A critical SQL Injection vulnerability in the Seeyon Zhiyuan Interconnect FE Collaborative Office Platform 

Overview 

CVE-2025-2030 is a critical SQL Injection vulnerability in the Seeyon Zhiyuan Interconnect FE Collaborative Office Platform (versions up to 20250224). The issue resides in the /security/addUser.jsp endpoint, where improper handling of the groupId parameter allows attackers to manipulate SQL queries. This vulnerability can be exploited remotely, with public exploits available, increasing its risk profile. Despite early notification, the vendor has not responded to address this issue. 

Severity 

• CVSS v3.1 Score: 7.3 (High)

• Vector: AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:L 
  The vulnerability allows attackers with low privileges to execute arbitrary SQL commands, potentially leading to data exposure, modification, or partial denial of service.

Exploitation Scenarios 

1. Unauthorized Data Access
   An attacker could exploit the groupId parameter to retrieve sensitive information from the database, such as user credentials or confidential documents.

   Example Payload: 

   sql
   groupId=1 UNION SELECT username, password FROM users--
   

2. Privilege Escalation 
   By injecting SQL commands, an attacker could add themselves to higher-privileged groups or administrative roles. 

   Example Payload:

   sql
   groupId=1; UPDATE users SET role='admin' WHERE username='attacker'--
   

3. Database Corruption or Denial of Service
   Malicious actors could inject commands to delete or corrupt critical tables, disrupting the platform's functionality.

   Example Payload: 

   sql
   groupId=1; DROP TABLE documents--
   

Mitigation Strategies

• Input Validation and Parameterized Queries

  • Use prepared statements and parameterized queries to prevent SQL injection.

  • Validate and sanitize all user inputs rigorously.

1. Access Control

• Restrict access to sensitive endpoints like /security/addUser.jsp based on user roles.

• Implement least privilege principles for database accounts.

1. Monitoring and Logging

• Enable logging for all database queries and monitor for suspicious activity.

• Use intrusion detection systems (IDS) to identify exploitation attempts.

1. Patch Management

• Since the vendor has not issued a fix, consider isolating or disabling the vulnerable endpoint until a patch is released.

• Explore third-party security patches or workarounds if available.

Recommendations for Organizations Using Seeyon Zhiyuan

• Conduct a thorough security audit of the application and database.

• Employ web application firewalls (WAF) to block malicious requests targeting SQL injection vulnerabilities.

• Notify users of potential risks and advise caution when using the platform until a resolution is provided by the vendor.

Conclusion

CVE-2025-2030 poses a significant threat due to its ease of exploitation and potential impact on data integrity and confidentiality. Organizations using affected versions of Seeyon Zhiyuan should prioritize mitigation measures and continuously monitor for updates from the vendor.
