CVE-2025-67280
📋 TL;DR
Multiple Hibernate Query Language injection vulnerabilities in TIM BPM Suite/TIM FLOW allow low-privileged authenticated users to extract other users' passwords and access sensitive data. This affects organizations using these workflow automation platforms up to version 9.1.2.
💻 Affected Systems
- TIM BPM Suite
- TIM FLOW
📦 What is this software?

⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact
Worst Case
Attackers could extract all user credentials, gain administrative access, and compromise the entire TIM platform and connected systems.
Likely Case
Low-privileged users could access sensitive data of other users, potentially including passwords, leading to privilege escalation and data breaches.
If Mitigated
With proper network segmentation and monitoring, impact would be limited to the TIM application with no lateral movement to other systems.
🎯 Exploit Status
Exploitation requires authenticated access but uses standard HQL injection techniques. No public exploit code has been released.
🛠️ Fix & Mitigation
✅ Official Fix
Patch Version: 9.1.3 or later
Vendor Advisory: https://tim-doc.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/eng/pages/230981636/Release+Notes
Restart Required: Yes
Instructions:
1. Download TIM BPM Suite/TIM FLOW version 9.1.3 or later from official vendor sources. 2. Backup current installation and data. 3. Apply the update following vendor documentation. 4. Restart all TIM services. 5. Verify successful update.
🔧 Temporary Workarounds
Network Segmentation
allRestrict access to TIM applications to only authorized users and networks
Principle of Least Privilege
allReview and minimize user privileges to reduce attack surface
🧯 If You Can't Patch
- Implement strict network access controls to limit TIM application access
- Enable detailed logging and monitoring for suspicious HQL queries and data access patterns
🔍 How to Verify
Check if Vulnerable:
Check TIM application version in admin interface or configuration files. Versions 9.1.2 and earlier are vulnerable.Check Version:
Check TIM admin console or configuration files for version informationVerify Fix Applied:
Verify version is 9.1.3 or later in admin interface and test user data access controls.📡 Detection & Monitoring
Log Indicators:
- Unusual HQL query patterns
- Multiple failed authentication attempts followed by successful login
- User accessing data outside their normal scope
Network Indicators:
- Unusual database query patterns from TIM application servers
- Multiple data extraction requests from single user sessions
SIEM Query:
