CVE-2025-7631: Tumeva Prime News Software SQLi Flaw

CVE-2025-7631 Overview

CVE-2025-7631 is a SQL Injection vulnerability affecting Tumeva Prime News Software developed by Tumeva Internet Technologies. The flaw stems from improper neutralization of special elements used in an SQL command [CWE-89]. Attackers can send crafted input over the network without authentication or user interaction. Successful exploitation can disclose data, modify records, and cause denial of service against the application backend. The issue affects versions from v.1.0.1 before v1.0.2.

Critical Impact
Unauthenticated remote attackers can inject SQL statements to read or alter database contents and disrupt service availability.

Affected Products

Tumeva Prime News Software v.1.0.1
Tumeva Prime News Software versions prior to v1.0.2
Vendor: Tumeva Internet Technologies Software Information Advertising and Consulting Services Trade Ltd. Co.

Technical Details for CVE-2025-7631

Vulnerability Analysis

The vulnerability resides in Tumeva Prime News Software, a content management application for news publishing. User-supplied input flows into SQL statements without proper sanitization or parameterization. An unauthenticated attacker can append SQL syntax to vulnerable parameters and alter query semantics. The flaw is reachable over the network with low attack complexity and requires no privileges or user interaction.

The impact profile shows low confidentiality and integrity impact paired with high availability impact. This indicates that crafted SQL payloads can disrupt database operations or trigger resource-intensive queries that degrade service. Data exposure and tampering remain possible within the bounds of the application's database privileges.

Root Cause

The root cause is improper neutralization of special elements used in an SQL command [CWE-89]. The application constructs SQL queries by concatenating untrusted input directly into statement strings. Prepared statements and bound parameters are not consistently applied across the affected request handlers.

Attack Vector

Attackers reach the vulnerable code path by sending HTTP requests with malicious SQL fragments in parameters processed by the application. No authentication is required. Because the attack vector is network-based, exposed instances of Prime News Software are reachable from the internet. Refer to the USOM Security Notification TR-26-0067 for vendor-coordinated disclosure context.

Detection Methods for CVE-2025-7631

Indicators of Compromise

Web server access logs containing SQL meta-characters such as ', --, UNION SELECT, SLEEP(, or BENCHMARK( in query strings or POST bodies targeting Prime News endpoints.
Database error messages returned in HTTP responses or written to application logs.
Unexpected spikes in database CPU usage or long-running queries originating from the news application service account.

Detection Strategies

Deploy web application firewall (WAF) signatures for common SQL injection patterns targeting the Prime News Software request paths.
Enable database query logging and alert on anomalous query structures, especially those containing stacked statements or time-delay functions.
Correlate authentication-less requests producing HTTP 500 responses with database error traces.

Monitoring Recommendations

Monitor outbound network traffic from the database host for unexpected destinations that may indicate data exfiltration.
Track failed and successful query execution rates to identify reconnaissance probing.
Review file integrity on the web application directory to detect post-exploitation web shell placement.

How to Mitigate CVE-2025-7631

Immediate Actions Required

Upgrade Tumeva Prime News Software to version v1.0.2 or later, which resolves the SQL injection flaw.
Restrict network exposure of the application administrative interfaces using firewall or VPN controls.
Rotate database credentials used by the application after patching to invalidate any credentials potentially exposed.

Patch Information

The vendor addressed the issue in Tumeva Prime News Software v1.0.2. Administrators should apply the update following the guidance referenced in the USOM Security Notification TR-26-0067.

Workarounds

Place the application behind a WAF with SQL injection rule sets enabled until the patch is applied.
Enforce least-privilege on the database account used by the application to limit query scope and prevent destructive operations.
Disable or restrict public access to any endpoints that accept user-controlled query parameters until remediation is complete.
