Deeper analysis

CVE-2025-70821 is a SQL injection vulnerability (CWE-89) in the BaseServiceImpl.java component of renren-secuity prior to version v5.5.0. Published on 2026-03-03T15:16:16.290, it 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), marking it as critical due to its potential for severe impact.

An unauthenticated attacker can exploit this vulnerability remotely over the network with low attack complexity and no user interaction. Exploitation enables high-impact outcomes on confidentiality, integrity, and availability, allowing arbitrary SQL query execution that could result in data leakage, tampering, or system disruption.
