CVE-2025-32852
Published: 16 April 2025
Summary
CVE-2025-32852 is a high-severity SQL Injection (CWE-89) vulnerability in Siemens Telecontrol Server Basic. Its CVSS base score is 8.7 (High).
Operationally, ranked at the 17.4th percentile by exploit likelihood (below the median); it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog.
Deeper analysis
A vulnerability has been identified in TeleControl Server Basic versions prior to V3.1.2.2, where the internally used LockDatabaseSettings method is susceptible to SQL injection. The flaw, tracked as CWE-89, permits an authenticated remote attacker who can reach TCP port 8000 to bypass authorization controls, read from and write to the application's database, and execute code under the NT AUTHORITY\NetworkService account. The issue carries a CVSS 4.0 score of 8.7, reflecting network attack vector, low complexity, and high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
An attacker with valid credentials on a reachable system can supply crafted input to the affected method, resulting in arbitrary database operations and operating-system-level code execution without further user interaction. Because the method is described as internally used, exploitation does not require direct UI access beyond the ability to reach the service endpoint.
The Siemens advisory SSA-443402 recommends updating to version V3.1.2.2 or later to remediate the injection flaw and restore proper authorization enforcement.
EPSS for the CVE rose from a low baseline of 0.0005 to a peak of 0.0100, indicating that exploitation interest increased after disclosure and that the issue merits renewed attention.
