CVE-2024-25574

8.8 HIGH

📋 TL;DR

This CVE describes a SQL injection vulnerability in the GetDIAE_usListParameters function that allows attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands. It affects industrial control systems (ICS) and operational technology (OT) environments. Successful exploitation could lead to data theft, manipulation, or system compromise.

💻 Affected Systems

Products:
  • Specific products not named in provided references; appears to be industrial control/SCADA software
Versions: Not specified in provided references
Operating Systems: Likely Windows-based industrial control systems
Default Config Vulnerable: ⚠️ Yes
Notes: Based on CISA ICS advisory, this affects industrial control systems. Exact products/versions require checking vendor-specific advisories.

📦 What is this software?

⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact

🔴

Worst Case

Complete compromise of the database, data exfiltration, manipulation of industrial processes, and potential physical damage to critical infrastructure.

🟠

Likely Case

Unauthorized data access, modification of configuration parameters, and disruption of industrial operations.

🟢

If Mitigated

Limited impact with proper input validation, parameterized queries, and network segmentation in place.

🌐 Internet-Facing: HIGH if exposed to internet without proper controls, as SQL injection is easily exploitable remotely.
🏢 Internal Only: MEDIUM to HIGH depending on network segmentation and internal access controls.

🎯 Exploit Status

Public PoC: ✅ No
Weaponized: UNKNOWN
Unauthenticated Exploit: ⚠️ Yes
Complexity: LOW

SQL injection vulnerabilities are typically low complexity to exploit once the vulnerable endpoint is identified.

🛠️ Fix & Mitigation

✅ Official Fix

Patch Version: Not specified in provided references

Vendor Advisory: https://www.cisa.gov/news-events/ics-advisories/icsa-24-074-12

Restart Required: Yes

Instructions:

1. Identify affected systems using vendor documentation
2. Apply vendor-provided patches or updates
3. Restart affected services/systems
4. Verify patch installation

🔧 Temporary Workarounds

Input Validation and Sanitization

all

Implement strict input validation and parameterized queries to prevent SQL injection

Network Segmentation

all

Isolate affected systems from untrusted networks and implement firewall rules

🧯 If You Can't Patch

  • Implement web application firewall (WAF) with SQL injection rules
  • Restrict network access to only trusted IP addresses and implement least privilege access controls

🔍 How to Verify

Check if Vulnerable:

Check system version against vendor advisory and test for SQL injection using safe testing methods

Check Version:

Vendor-specific command; check system documentation

Verify Fix Applied:

Verify patch version installation and test that SQL injection attempts are properly blocked

📡 Detection & Monitoring

Log Indicators:

  • Unusual database queries
  • SQL syntax errors in application logs
  • Multiple failed authentication attempts

Network Indicators:

  • Unusual SQL query patterns in network traffic
  • Requests to GetDIAE_usListParameters with SQL syntax

SIEM Query:

SELECT * FROM logs WHERE message LIKE '%GetDIAE_usListParameters%' AND (message LIKE '%SELECT%' OR message LIKE '%UNION%' OR message LIKE '%OR%1=1%')
