Summary

CVE-2025-13379 is a high-severity SQL Injection (CWE-89) vulnerability in Ibm Aspera Console. Its CVSS base score is 8.6 (High).

Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Exploit Public-Facing Application (T1190); ranked at the 26.9th percentile by exploit likelihood (below the median); it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog.

The strongest mitigations our analysis identified are NIST 800-53 SI-10 (Information Input Validation) and SI-2 (Flaw Remediation).

Deeper analysis

CVE-2025-13379 is a SQL injection vulnerability (CWE-89) in IBM Aspera Console versions 3.4.0 through 3.4.8. It enables a remote attacker to send specially crafted SQL statements that could allow viewing, adding, modifying, or deleting information in the back-end database. The vulnerability has a CVSS v3.1 base score of 8.6 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:L/A:L), indicating high confidentiality impact with low integrity and availability impacts.

Any remote attacker can exploit this vulnerability over the network with low complexity, no privileges, and no user interaction required. Successful exploitation grants the attacker the ability to manipulate the back-end database, potentially extracting sensitive data or altering records.

Mitigation details are provided in the IBM security bulletin at https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/node/7259448.

Mitigating Controls

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

SI-10 Information Input Validation good match
prevent

Directly prevents SQL injection exploitation by requiring validation of all user inputs, rejecting specially crafted SQL statements before they reach the back-end database.

SI-2 Flaw Remediation good match
prevent

Mandates timely identification, reporting, and patching of flaws like this SQL injection vulnerability in IBM Aspera Console, as detailed in the vendor security bulletin.

SI-9 Information Input Restrictions good match
prevent

Enforces restrictions on information inputs such as length, type, and format to block malformed SQL statements that could manipulate the back-end database.
