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 14.9th 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).

Threat & Defense at a Glance

What attackers do: exploitation maps to Exploit Public-Facing Application (T1190) and 2 other techniques. What defenders deploy: see the NIST 800-53 controls recommended below.

Threat & Defense Details

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.

MITRE ATT&CK Enterprise TechniquesAI

T1190 Exploit Public-Facing Application Initial Access

Adversaries may attempt to exploit a weakness in an Internet-facing host or system to initially access a network.

attack.mitre.org →

T1213.006 Databases Collection

Adversaries may leverage databases to mine valuable information.

attack.mitre.org →

T1565.001 Stored Data Manipulation Impact

Adversaries may insert, delete, or manipulate data at rest in order to influence external outcomes or hide activity, thus threatening the integrity of the data.

Why these techniques?

SQL injection in public-facing IBM Aspera Console directly enables remote exploitation of the application (T1190) and manipulation/exfiltration of database contents (T1213.006, T1565.001).

Confidence: HIGH · MITRE ATT&CK Enterprise v18.1

NVD Description

IBM Aspera Console 3.4.0 through 3.4.8 is vulnerable to SQL injection. A remote attacker could send specially crafted SQL statements, which could allow the attacker to view, add, modify, or delete information in the back-end database.

Deeper analysisAI

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.
