Summary

CVE-2025-25064 is a high-severity SQL Injection (CWE-89) vulnerability in Synacor Zimbra Collaboration Suite. Its CVSS base score is 8.8 (High).

Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Exploit Public-Facing Application (T1190); ranked in the top 2.3% of CVEs by exploit likelihood; 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). 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 addresses the insufficient sanitization of user-supplied parameters in the SOAP endpoint by requiring validation to prevent SQL injection attacks.

SI-2 Flaw Remediation good match

prevent

Mandates timely flaw remediation through patching to upgraded Zimbra versions 10.0.12 or 10.1.4, eliminating the SQL injection vulnerability.

SC-7 Boundary Protection partial match

preventdetect

Boundary protection mechanisms like web application firewalls can inspect and block SQL injection payloads targeting the ZimbraSync SOAP endpoint.

NVD Description

SQL injection vulnerability in the ZimbraSync Service SOAP endpoint in Zimbra Collaboration 10.0.x before 10.0.12 and 10.1.x before 10.1.4 due to insufficient sanitization of a user-supplied parameter. Authenticated attackers can exploit this vulnerability by manipulating a specific parameter in the…

request, allowing them to inject arbitrary SQL queries that could retrieve email metadata.

Deeper analysisAI

CVE-2025-25064 is a SQL injection vulnerability (CWE-89) in the ZimbraSync Service SOAP endpoint of Zimbra Collaboration versions 10.0.x before 10.0.12 and 10.1.x before 10.1.4. The flaw arises from insufficient sanitization of a user-supplied parameter, enabling attackers to inject malicious SQL payloads. Published on 2025-02-03, 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), indicating high severity due to its potential for significant impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability.

Authenticated attackers with low privileges can exploit this vulnerability over the network with low complexity and no user interaction required. By manipulating a specific parameter in requests to the SOAP endpoint, they can inject arbitrary SQL queries, allowing retrieval of email metadata and potentially broader database manipulation aligned with the high-impact CVSS metrics.

Zimbra's security advisories and release notes for versions 10.0.12 and 10.1.4 detail fixes for this vulnerability, recommending administrators upgrade affected installations to these patched releases as the primary mitigation.
