CVE-2025-15446 Overview
A SQL injection vulnerability has been discovered in Seeyon Zhiyuan OA Web Application System up to version 20251223. The vulnerability exists in an unknown function of the file /assetsGroupReport/fixedAssetsList.j%73p, where manipulation of the unitCode argument can lead to SQL injection attacks. This flaw can be exploited remotely without authentication, potentially allowing attackers to access, modify, or delete sensitive data stored in the application's database.
Critical Impact
Unauthenticated remote attackers can exploit this SQL injection vulnerability to compromise database integrity, extract sensitive organizational data, and potentially escalate access within the affected Seeyon Zhiyuan OA environment.

Technical Details for CVE-2025-15446
Vulnerability Analysis
This vulnerability is classified under CWE-74 (Improper Neutralization of Special Elements in Output Used by a Downstream Component), commonly referred to as Injection. The vulnerability stems from improper handling of user-supplied input in the unitCode parameter, which is passed to backend database queries without adequate sanitization or parameterization.
The affected endpoint uses URL encoding (%73 represents the letter 's') in the file path, which may indicate an attempt to bypass basic security filters. The exploitation has been publicly documented, and the vendor was contacted about this disclosure but did not respond.
Root Cause
The root cause of this vulnerability is insufficient input validation and improper construction of SQL queries within the Seeyon Zhiyuan OA Web Application System. When user-controlled data from the unitCode parameter is incorporated into SQL statements without proper sanitization or the use of parameterized queries, it creates an injection point that attackers can exploit.
The application fails to implement proper security controls such as:
- Input validation and sanitization for the unitCode parameter
- Parameterized queries or prepared statements
- Proper output encoding for database operations
Attack Vector
The attack can be performed remotely over the network without requiring any authentication or user interaction. An attacker can craft malicious HTTP requests to the vulnerable endpoint at /assetsGroupReport/fixedAssetsList.jsp (note: %73 decodes to s), injecting SQL commands through the unitCode parameter.
The vulnerability allows attackers to manipulate SQL queries executed by the backend database, potentially enabling them to:
- Extract sensitive data from the database
- Modify or delete existing records
- Bypass authentication mechanisms
- Potentially execute administrative operations on the database server
Technical details and exploit information can be found in the GitHub CVE Issue Discussion and VulDB CVE Reference.
Detection Methods for CVE-2025-15446
Indicators of Compromise
- Unusual HTTP requests to /assetsGroupReport/fixedAssetsList.jsp or URL-encoded variants containing %73
- Requests with suspicious SQL syntax in the unitCode parameter such as single quotes, UNION statements, or boolean-based injection patterns
- Database error messages in application logs indicating SQL syntax errors
- Unexpected database query patterns or large data exfiltration attempts
Detection Strategies
- Implement Web Application Firewall (WAF) rules to detect SQL injection patterns in requests to the affected endpoint
- Monitor access logs for requests containing URL-encoded paths targeting /assetsGroupReport/fixedAssetsList.j%73p
- Deploy database activity monitoring to detect anomalous queries originating from the OA application
- Configure SIEM rules to alert on SQL injection signatures in HTTP request parameters
Monitoring Recommendations
- Enable detailed logging for all requests to the /assetsGroupReport/ directory and related endpoints
- Monitor for unusual database query patterns, particularly those involving the tables accessed by the fixed assets functionality
- Set up alerts for database errors that may indicate injection attempts
- Review authentication logs for signs of bypass attempts following potential SQL injection exploitation
How to Mitigate CVE-2025-15446
Immediate Actions Required
- Restrict network access to the vulnerable endpoint /assetsGroupReport/fixedAssetsList.jsp using firewall rules or access control lists
- Implement input validation and sanitization for all user-supplied parameters, especially unitCode
- Deploy a Web Application Firewall with SQL injection detection rules in front of the Seeyon Zhiyuan OA system
- Consider temporarily disabling the affected functionality until a vendor patch is available
Patch Information
No official patch is currently available from the vendor. According to the vulnerability disclosure, the vendor was contacted about this issue but did not respond. Organizations should monitor for vendor updates and apply patches as soon as they become available.
For additional technical details and updates, refer to:
Workarounds
- Block access to the vulnerable endpoint using network-level controls or web server configuration
- Implement application-level input filtering to reject requests containing SQL injection patterns in the unitCode parameter
- Use a reverse proxy or WAF to sanitize and validate incoming requests before they reach the application
- Consider network segmentation to limit the exposure of the OA system to trusted networks only
# Example: Block access to vulnerable endpoint using Apache mod_rewrite
# Add to .htaccess or Apache configuration
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} /assetsGroupReport/fixedAssetsList\.j(sp|%73p) [NC]
RewriteRule .* - [F,L]
# Example: Nginx location block to deny access
# location ~* /assetsGroupReport/fixedAssetsList\.j(sp|%73p) {
# deny all;
# return 403;
# }
