Overview
CVE-2025-10266 is a severe SQL Injection vulnerability that has been identified in NUP Pro, a software product developed by NewType Infortech. This vulnerability is particularly alarming given its potential for exploitation by unauthenticated remote attackers. By leveraging this weakness, attackers can inject arbitrary SQL commands, allowing them to read, modify, and even delete database contents. Given the widespread use of NUP Pro across various enterprises, this vulnerability poses a significant threat to data security and integrity.

How the Exploit Works
The exploit works by an attacker sending specially crafted SQL commands in a user input field or through an API call to the NUP Pro software. The software, failing to validate or sanitize the input, processes the command as part of a SQL query. This manipulation can allow the attacker to view data they should not have access to, modify or delete data, or even execute commands on the host operating system.
Conceptual Example Code
This is a simplified, conceptual example of how an attacker might exploit this vulnerability using an HTTP POST request.
POST /api/v1/users/login HTTP/1.1
Host: target.example.com
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
username=admin' OR '1'='1';--&password=passThis attempt exploits the vulnerability by injecting malicious SQL code into the “username” parameter. The SQL statement `’1’=’1’` is always true, so this effectively bypasses any password authentication mechanism in place, potentially granting the attacker administrative privileges.
Mitigation and Remediation
NewType Infortech has released a patch to address this vulnerability, and it is strongly recommended that all users of NUP Pro update their software immediately. In cases where immediate patching is not feasible, using a Web Application Firewall (WAF) or intrusion detection system (IDS) can provide temporary mitigation. These systems can detect and block known SQL Injection attack patterns, helping to protect your system until the patch can be applied.
Remember, the best defense against SQL Injection is validating and sanitizing all user inputs, as well as using parameterized queries or prepared statements. These steps ensure that user inputs are not interpreted as part of SQL commands.
