Summary

CVE-2025-57773 is a high-severity Code Injection (CWE-94) vulnerability in Dataease Dataease. Its CVSS base score is 8.2 (High).

Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Command and Scripting Interpreter (T1059); ranked in the top 6% of CVEs by exploit likelihood; it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog; a public proof-of-concept is referenced.

The strongest mitigations our analysis identified map to SA-11 (Developer Testing and Evaluation) and SI-10 (Information Input Validation) — see the control section below for these in your framework.

CVE-2025-57773 is a critical vulnerability in DataEase, an open source business intelligence and data visualization tool. In versions prior to 2.10.12, DB2 parameters are not properly filtered, enabling a JNDI injection attack. This injection triggers an AspectJWeaver deserialization attack, allowing arbitrary file writes. The issue, associated with CWE-94 (code injection) and CWE-502 (deserialization of untrusted data), requires the presence of commons-collections 4.x and aspectjweaver-1.9.22.jar, and carries a CVSS v3.1 base score of 9.8 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H).

Unauthenticated remote attackers can exploit this vulnerability over the network with low complexity and no user interaction. By injecting malicious JNDI payloads via unfiltered DB2 parameters, attackers trigger deserialization through AspectJWeaver, enabling writes to various files on the target system. This can lead to severe impacts, including high confidentiality, integrity, and availability disruptions, such as remote code execution or system compromise.

The vulnerability has been fixed in DataEase version 2.10.12. Security practitioners should upgrade to this version immediately. Relevant details are available in the project's GitHub security advisory (GHSA-7r8j-6whv-4j5p) and the fixing commit (8d04e92d44e1bac9284e9e64df5afd7f96d9373c).

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

Developer testing and evaluation finds code paths that accept and execute externally influenced strings.

Input validation directly stops untrusted data from being used to construct executable code without neutralization.

Least privilege limits the damage an injected code fragment can perform once executed.

Requiring documented secure development standards and tools enforces use of safe code-generation APIs and escaping.

Engineering principles such as safe deserialization and input sanitization structurally prevent the weakness from being introduced.

Integrity verification tools can detect malformed or tampered serialized data after the fact.

PR.PS-06 mostly match
prevents

PR.PS-06's SDLC practices directly target injection flaws via secure coding and testing (mostly), yet as a single broad outcome it leaves many code-generation specifics unaddressed (partial).

PR.DS-10 none match
prevents

PR.DS-10 protects runtime data confidentiality/integrity but has no bearing on neutralizing externally influenced input during code generation, so neither direction shows any preventive effect.

PR.PS-02 none match
prevents

PR.PS-02 addresses only post-deployment updates/patching and cannot prevent introduction of unsafe deserialization code, yet it can remediate some instances when the flaw exists in outdated libraries or components.

finds

Security testing includes validation of deserialization routines and the use of untrusted data, reducing the likelihood that unsafe object reconstruction will be deployed.

prevents

Banning unapproved code samples and unauthenticated web services, combined with secure-coding standards and SAST, prevents the dynamic generation or inclusion of attacker-supplied code.

finds

Regular scanning of third-party libraries and timely patching reduce the likelihood that unsafe deserialization vulnerabilities remain active.

none

Controls that restrict unauthorized or malicious code from being introduced via external networks or removable media limit opportunities for an attacker to inject and execute arbitrary code.
