Overview
CVE-2025-4738 is a high-severity cybersecurity vulnerability that resides within Yirmibes Software’s MY ERP product. This vulnerability, which pertains to the improper neutralization of special elements used in SQL commands (also known as SQL Injection), provides a potential attacker with the ability to manipulate or control the database of the affected system. This is a critical issue because ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) systems often contain sensitive business data, and an exploit could lead to a severe compromise of system integrity and data confidentiality.

How the Exploit Works
SQL Injection is a code injection technique that attackers use to insert malicious SQL statements into an entry field for execution. In the context of CVE-2025-4738, an attacker might use this technique to manipulate the MY ERP system’s database. The attacker could potentially view, modify, or delete data, or even execute administration operations on the database.
Conceptual Example Code
The following is a simplified, conceptual example of how an HTTP request might be crafted to exploit this vulnerability:
POST /erp/database HTTP/1.1
Host: target.example.com
Content-Type: application/sql
{ "query": "SELECT * FROM users; DROP TABLE users;" }In this hypothetical example, the attacker is first selecting all data from a ‘users’ table, then deleting that same table. Real-world attacks can be much more sophisticated and damaging.
Mitigation and Patching
To mitigate this vulnerability, organizations should urgently apply the vendor’s patch. For those who cannot immediately apply the patch, using a Web Application Firewall (WAF) or Intrusion Detection System (IDS) can serve as a temporary mitigation. However, these measures do not fully resolve the vulnerability and are not substitutes for applying the vendor’s patch. Companies should also consider employing best practices for SQL query handling, such as using prepared statements and stored procedures, validating user input, and limiting database permissions.
