Summary

CVE-2025-13774 is a high-severity SQL Injection (CWE-89) vulnerability in Progress Flowmon Anomaly Detection System. Its CVSS base score is 8.8 (High).

Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Exploit Public-Facing Application (T1190); ranked at the 14.1th 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 RA-5 (Vulnerability Monitoring and Scanning) and SI-10 (Information Input Validation).

Threat & Defense at a Glance

What attackers do: exploitation maps to Exploit Public-Facing Application (T1190). 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

SI-10 directly prevents SQL injection vulnerabilities like CVE-2025-13774 by requiring validation of all user inputs prior to incorporation into database queries.

SI-2 Flaw Remediation good match

prevent

SI-2 requires timely identification, reporting, and correction of flaws, directly mitigating this SQL injection through patching to fixed Flowmon ADS versions 12.5.4 or 13.0.1.

RA-5 Vulnerability Monitoring and Scanning good match

preventdetect

RA-5 enables detection of SQL injection vulnerabilities like CVE-2025-13774 through regular scanning and subsequent risk-based remediation.

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.

Why these techniques?

SQL injection in a network-accessible application directly maps to exploitation of public-facing apps for arbitrary query/command execution.

NVD Description

A vulnerability exists in Progress Flowmon ADS versions prior to 12.5.4 and 13.0.1 where an SQL injection vulnerability allows authenticated users to execute unintended SQL queries and commands.

Deeper analysisAI

CVE-2025-13774 is an SQL injection vulnerability (CWE-89) in Progress Flowmon ADS versions prior to 12.5.4 and 13.0.1. The flaw allows authenticated users to execute unintended SQL queries and commands, potentially compromising the application's database interactions. It carries a CVSS v3.1 base score of 8.8 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H), reflecting high severity due to its network accessibility, low attack complexity, and significant impacts across confidentiality, integrity, and availability.

Attackers require only low-privileged authenticated access (PR:L) to exploit the vulnerability remotely over the network (AV:N), with low complexity (AC:L) and no user interaction (UI:N). Successful exploitation grants the ability to execute arbitrary SQL commands, enabling high-impact outcomes such as unauthorized data extraction or modification (C:H/I:H) and potential denial of service (A:H), all within the unchanged scope (S:U) of the affected component.

The official Progress advisory at https://community.progress.com/s/article/Flowmon-ADS-CVE-2025-13774 details mitigation steps, with upgrades to Flowmon ADS version 12.5.4 or 13.0.1 recommended to remediate the issue in affected deployments.
