CVE-2025-32814
📋 TL;DR
Unauthenticated SQL injection vulnerability in Infoblox NETMRI allows attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands without authentication. This affects all Infoblox NETMRI installations before version 7.6.1. Attackers can potentially access, modify, or delete database content.
💻 Affected Systems
- Infoblox NETMRI
📦 What is this software?
Netmri by Infoblox
⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact
Worst Case
Complete compromise of the NETMRI system, data exfiltration, privilege escalation to administrative access, and potential lateral movement to connected systems.
Likely Case
Database information disclosure, configuration data theft, and potential system compromise through subsequent attacks.
If Mitigated
Limited impact with proper network segmentation and access controls, though the vulnerability remains exploitable within allowed network paths.
🎯 Exploit Status
SQL injection vulnerabilities are commonly weaponized. The unauthenticated nature makes exploitation trivial for attackers with network access.
🛠️ Fix & Mitigation
✅ Official Fix
Patch Version: 7.6.1
Vendor Advisory: https://support.infoblox.com/s/article/Infoblox-NetMRI-is-vulnerable-to-CVE-2025-32814
Restart Required: Yes
Instructions:
1. Backup current configuration and data. 2. Download NETMRI 7.6.1 from Infoblox support portal. 3. Apply the update following Infoblox upgrade procedures. 4. Restart the NETMRI service. 5. Verify successful update and functionality.
🔧 Temporary Workarounds
Network Access Restriction
linuxRestrict network access to NETMRI to only trusted administrative networks
Use firewall rules to limit access: iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport [NETMRI_PORT] -s [TRUSTED_NETWORK] -j ACCEPT
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport [NETMRI_PORT] -j DROP
🧯 If You Can't Patch
- Implement strict network segmentation to isolate NETMRI from untrusted networks
- Deploy web application firewall (WAF) with SQL injection protection rules
🔍 How to Verify
Check if Vulnerable:
Check NETMRI version via web interface or CLI. If version is below 7.6.1, system is vulnerable.Check Version:
ssh admin@netmri-host 'show version' or check web interface at https://[NETMRI_IP]/aboutVerify Fix Applied:
Verify version is 7.6.1 or higher in NETMRI web interface under System > About.📡 Detection & Monitoring
Log Indicators:
- Unusual SQL query patterns in database logs
- Multiple failed authentication attempts followed by SQL queries
- Unexpected database schema changes
Network Indicators:
- SQL injection patterns in HTTP requests to NETMRI
- Unusual database connection attempts from NETMRI host
SIEM Query:
source="netmri" AND (http_request CONTAINS "UNION" OR http_request CONTAINS "SELECT *" OR http_request CONTAINS "--" OR http_request CONTAINS "' OR '1'='1")
