CVE-2025-59742: Andsoft E-tms SQL Injection Vulnerability

CVE-2025-59742 Overview

CVE-2025-59742 is a critical SQL injection vulnerability discovered in AndSoft's e-TMS version 25.03, a transportation management system. This vulnerability exists in the /inc/login/TRACK_REQUESTFRMSQL.ASP endpoint, where the USRMAIL parameter fails to properly sanitize user input before being incorporated into SQL queries. An unauthenticated attacker can exploit this flaw by sending specially crafted POST requests to retrieve, create, update, and delete database contents, potentially compromising the entire database backend.

Critical Impact

Unauthenticated attackers can achieve full database compromise including data exfiltration, modification, and deletion through a simple POST request to the login endpoint.

Affected Products

• AndSoft e-TMS version 25.03
• AndSoft e-TMS (all installations using vulnerable login endpoint)

Technical Details for CVE-2025-59742

Vulnerability Analysis

This SQL injection vulnerability (CWE-89) allows attackers to manipulate database queries through the USRMAIL parameter in the login tracking functionality. The vulnerable endpoint /inc/login/TRACK_REQUESTFRMSQL.ASP processes POST requests without adequate input validation or parameterized query implementation. Because the vulnerability exists in a login-related endpoint, it is accessible without authentication, significantly increasing the risk exposure.

The flaw enables attackers to inject arbitrary SQL statements that the database server will execute with the same privileges as the web application's database user. This can result in complete database compromise, including access to sensitive transportation logistics data, customer information, and potentially credentials stored in the database.

Root Cause

The root cause of this vulnerability is the improper neutralization of special elements used in SQL commands. The application concatenates user-supplied input from the USRMAIL parameter directly into SQL queries without proper sanitization, escaping, or use of parameterized queries. This classic SQL injection pattern allows malicious SQL syntax to be interpreted as code rather than data.

Attack Vector

The attack vector is network-based and requires no authentication or user interaction. An attacker sends a malicious POST request to the vulnerable ASP endpoint with a crafted USRMAIL parameter containing SQL injection payloads. The attack can be executed remotely from any network location that can reach the vulnerable e-TMS web application.

The exploitation process involves crafting POST requests containing SQL injection payloads in the USRMAIL parameter. Depending on the database backend and application configuration, attackers may leverage techniques such as UNION-based injection for data extraction, stacked queries for data manipulation, or time-based blind injection for scenarios where direct output is not available. For detailed technical information, refer to the INCIBE Security Notice.

Detection Methods for CVE-2025-59742

Indicators of Compromise

• Unusual POST requests to /inc/login/TRACK_REQUESTFRMSQL.ASP containing SQL syntax characters such as single quotes, semicolons, or SQL keywords
• Database error messages in application logs indicating malformed queries
• Unexpected database query patterns or execution times suggesting blind SQL injection attempts
• Evidence of data exfiltration or unauthorized database modifications

Detection Strategies

• Implement Web Application Firewall (WAF) rules to detect SQL injection patterns in the USRMAIL parameter
• Monitor HTTP access logs for POST requests to the vulnerable endpoint containing suspicious payloads
• Deploy database activity monitoring to identify anomalous query patterns or privilege escalation attempts
• Configure intrusion detection systems (IDS) with signatures for SQL injection attack patterns

Monitoring Recommendations

• Enable verbose logging on the e-TMS application and web server for forensic analysis
• Set up real-time alerts for database errors that may indicate injection attempts
• Monitor network traffic for unusual data transfers from the database server
• Implement database audit logging to track all queries executed against sensitive tables

How to Mitigate CVE-2025-59742

Immediate Actions Required

• Restrict network access to the e-TMS application to trusted IP ranges only
• Deploy a Web Application Firewall with SQL injection protection in front of the vulnerable endpoint
• Review database user privileges and implement principle of least privilege
• Consider temporarily disabling the vulnerable endpoint if business operations permit

Patch Information

Organizations should consult the INCIBE Security Notice for official patch information and updates from AndSoft. Contact the vendor directly for the latest security patches and upgrade guidance for e-TMS version 25.03.

Workarounds

• Implement input validation at the web server level to reject requests containing SQL metacharacters
• Deploy a reverse proxy with request filtering capabilities to sanitize input before it reaches the application
• Use network segmentation to isolate the e-TMS application and its database from critical systems
• Enable database connection encryption and implement strict database access controls
