How the CVE Works
CVE-2025-27709 is an authenticated SQL injection vulnerability in ManageEngine ADAudit Plus (versions 8510 and prior). Attackers with valid credentials can exploit the Service Account Auditing reports by injecting malicious SQL queries. This occurs due to improper input sanitization, allowing arbitrary SQL execution on the backend database. Successful exploitation may lead to data theft, privilege escalation, or complete system compromise. The vulnerability has a high CVSS score due to the potential for unauthorized access to sensitive Active Directory audit logs.
