CVE-2025-10258
📋 TL;DR
Infinera DNA is vulnerable to time-based SQL injection due to insufficient input validation, allowing attackers to extract sensitive information from databases by manipulating SQL queries with timing delays. This affects organizations using vulnerable versions of Infinera DNA network management software.
💻 Affected Systems
- Infinera DNA
📦 What is this software?
⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact
Worst Case
Complete database compromise leading to exposure of all stored sensitive data including credentials, network configurations, and customer information.
Likely Case
Extraction of specific sensitive information through blind SQL injection techniques, potentially enabling further attacks.
If Mitigated
Limited information leakage if proper input validation and database permissions are enforced.
🎯 Exploit Status
Time-based SQL injection requires specialized tools and knowledge; exploitation depends on application authentication requirements.
