CVE-2025-57141

9.8 CRITICAL

📋 TL;DR

CVE-2025-57141 is a critical SQL injection vulnerability in rsbi-os 4.7's sqlite-jdbc component that allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected systems. This affects all deployments running the vulnerable version of rsbi-os, potentially compromising entire systems. Attackers can exploit this without authentication to gain full control over vulnerable servers.

💻 Affected Systems

Products:
  • rsbi-os
Versions: Version 4.7
Operating Systems: Any OS running rsbi-os (Linux, Windows, macOS)
Default Config Vulnerable: ⚠️ Yes
Notes: All installations of rsbi-os 4.7 using the vulnerable sqlite-jdbc component are affected regardless of configuration.

📦 What is this software?

⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact

🔴

Worst Case

Complete system compromise with attacker gaining root/administrator privileges, data exfiltration, ransomware deployment, and persistent backdoor installation.

🟠

Likely Case

Unauthenticated attackers executing arbitrary commands to steal sensitive data, install malware, or pivot to other internal systems.

🟢

If Mitigated

Attack blocked at network perimeter or application firewall; limited to attempted exploitation logs.

🌐 Internet-Facing: HIGH - Directly exploitable without authentication via network requests to vulnerable endpoints.
🏢 Internal Only: HIGH - Internal attackers or compromised internal systems can exploit this with same impact as external attackers.

🎯 Exploit Status

Public PoC: ⚠️ Yes
Weaponized: LIKELY
Unauthenticated Exploit: ⚠️ Yes
Complexity: LOW

Public GitHub issue demonstrates exploitation technique; weaponization likely due to high CVSS score and public details.

🛠️ Fix & Mitigation

✅ Official Fix

Patch Version: Not yet released

Vendor Advisory: https://github.com/ruisibi/rsbi-os

Restart Required: Yes

Instructions:

1. Monitor rsbi-os GitHub repository for security updates. 2. When patch is released, download updated version. 3. Stop rsbi-os service. 4. Backup configuration and data. 5. Install patched version. 6. Restart service and verify functionality.

🔧 Temporary Workarounds

Network Segmentation and Firewall Rules

linux

Restrict network access to rsbi-os instances to only trusted IP addresses and networks.

iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport [rsbi-port] -s [trusted-ip] -j ACCEPT
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport [rsbi-port] -j DROP

Web Application Firewall (WAF)

all

Deploy WAF with SQL injection protection rules to block exploitation attempts.

🧯 If You Can't Patch

  • Isolate affected systems in separate network segments with strict access controls
  • Implement application-level input validation and parameterized queries in custom code

🔍 How to Verify

Check if Vulnerable:

Check rsbi-os version: grep 'version' /path/to/rsbi-os/config or check package manager. If version is 4.7, system is vulnerable.

Check Version:

cat /opt/rsbi-os/VERSION or check application web interface version display

Verify Fix Applied:

After patching, verify version is greater than 4.7 and test SQL injection payloads are properly rejected.

📡 Detection & Monitoring

Log Indicators:

  • Unusual SQL queries in application logs
  • Multiple failed SQL injection attempts
  • Unexpected process execution from rsbi-os

Network Indicators:

  • SQL injection patterns in HTTP requests to rsbi-os endpoints
  • Unusual outbound connections from rsbi-os server

SIEM Query:

source="rsbi-os.log" AND ("UNION SELECT" OR "OR 1=1" OR "EXEC(" OR "xp_cmdshell")
