Infoblox NETMRI, SQL Injection, CVE-2025-32814 (Critical)

Listen to this Post

How CVE-2025-32814 Works

This vulnerability in Infoblox NETMRI (versions before 7.6.1) allows unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary SQL queries via crafted HTTP requests. The flaw arises due to improper input sanitization in user-supplied parameters passed to backend database operations. Attackers exploit this by injecting malicious SQL payloads through vulnerable API endpoints, potentially leading to data exfiltration, authentication bypass, or complete system compromise. The lack of authentication requirements elevates the risk, making it critical.

DailyCVE Form

Platform: Infoblox NETMRI
Version: <7.6.1
Vulnerability: SQL Injection
Severity: Critical
Date: 06/03/2025

Prediction: Patch by 07/15/2025

What Undercode Say:

Exploitation:

  1. Identify Endpoints: Use tools like `sqlmap` to probe unprotected APIs:
    sqlmap -u "https://target/api/v1/endpoint?id=1" --risk=3 --level=5
    
  2. Craft Payload: Inject UNION-based or blind SQLi payloads:
    ' UNION SELECT 1,user(),3,4-- -
    
  3. Exfiltrate Data: Dump database contents via time-based techniques if errors are suppressed.

Mitigation:

1. Patch Immediately: Upgrade to NETMRI 7.6.1+.

  1. Input Validation: Implement strict whitelisting for SQL parameters.

3. WAF Rules: Deploy mod_security or equivalent:

SecRule ARGS "@detectSQLi" "id:1000,deny,status:403"

4. Network Controls: Restrict API access to trusted IPs.

Detection:

  • Log Analysis: Monitor for unusual SQL patterns in logs:
    grep -Ei "(union.select|waitfor delay)" /var/log/netmri.log
    
  • IDS Signatures: Use Snort rule:
    alert tcp any any -> $DB_SERVERS 3306 (msg:"SQLi Attempt"; content:"' OR 1=1"; sid:1000001;)
    

Post-Exploit Analysis:

  • Database Audit:
    SELECT FROM mysql.user WHERE User='';
    
  • Backdoor Checks: Review cronjobs and network connections:
    netstat -antp | grep ESTABLISHED
    

Final Hardening:

  • Disable verbose errors in production.
  • Apply principle of least privilege to DB accounts.
  • Conduct periodic penetration tests.
