CVE-2025-8704

6.3 MEDIUM

📋 TL;DR

This critical SQL injection vulnerability in Wanzhou WOES Intelligent Optimization Energy Saving System 1.0 allows attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands via the resultId parameter in the Analysis Conclusion Query Module. Attackers can potentially access, modify, or delete database content remotely. All systems running the vulnerable version are affected.

💻 Affected Systems

Products:
  • Wanzhou WOES Intelligent Optimization Energy Saving System
Versions: 1.0
Operating Systems: Unknown - likely Windows or Linux based on typical industrial control systems
Default Config Vulnerable: ⚠️ Yes
Notes: Affects the Analysis Conclusion Query Module specifically; requires the vulnerable endpoint to be accessible

📦 What is this software?

⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact

🔴

Worst Case

Complete database compromise leading to data theft, system takeover, or destruction of critical energy management data

🟠

Likely Case

Unauthorized data access and potential data exfiltration from the energy management system

🟢

If Mitigated

Limited impact with proper input validation and database permissions restricting damage to non-critical tables

🌐 Internet-Facing: HIGH - The vulnerability can be exploited remotely without authentication
🏢 Internal Only: MEDIUM - Internal attackers could exploit this, but external threat is higher due to public disclosure

🎯 Exploit Status

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

Exploit details are publicly disclosed on GitHub, making exploitation straightforward for attackers with basic SQL injection knowledge

🛠️ Fix & Mitigation

✅ Official Fix

Patch Version: Unknown

Vendor Advisory: None found in provided references

Restart Required: No

Instructions:

No official patch available. Contact vendor Wanzhou for security updates or consider system replacement if unsupported.

🔧 Temporary Workarounds

Web Application Firewall (WAF)

all

Deploy a WAF with SQL injection protection rules to block malicious requests to the vulnerable endpoint

Network Segmentation

all

Restrict access to the vulnerable endpoint (/WEAS_AlarmResult/GetAlarmResultProcessList) to trusted IP addresses only

🧯 If You Can't Patch

  • Implement strict input validation and parameterized queries in the application code
  • Apply principle of least privilege to database accounts used by the application

🔍 How to Verify

Check if Vulnerable:

Test the endpoint /WEAS_AlarmResult/GetAlarmResultProcessList with SQL injection payloads in the resultId parameter

Check Version:

Check system documentation or contact vendor to confirm version 1.0 is installed

Verify Fix Applied:

Verify that SQL injection attempts no longer succeed and that input validation is properly implemented

📡 Detection & Monitoring

Log Indicators:

  • Unusual SQL error messages in application logs
  • Multiple failed login attempts or SQL syntax errors from single IP

Network Indicators:

  • HTTP requests to /WEAS_AlarmResult/GetAlarmResultProcessList with SQL keywords in parameters
  • Unusual database query patterns from application server

SIEM Query:

source="application_logs" AND ("sql" OR "injection" OR "syntax error") AND uri="/WEAS_AlarmResult/GetAlarmResultProcessList"
