Overview
The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures system has recently identified a new vulnerability, CVE-2025-54669, that affects the RomanCode MapSVG software. This vulnerability arises from the improper neutralization of special elements used in an SQL command, commonly known as an SQL Injection vulnerability. As one of the most prevalent and critical web application vulnerabilities, SQL injections can result in serious consequences such as system compromise and data leakage, placing any organization using the affected software at significant risk.

How the Exploit Works
This SQL Injection vulnerability is exploited when an attacker sends malicious SQL statements in an input field, tricking the application into executing unintended commands or accessing unauthorized data. As the application does not properly sanitize the input, these statements are integrated into the SQL query and executed by the database. This can provide the attacker with unauthorized access to sensitive data, or even allow them to manipulate or delete this data.
Conceptual Example Code
Here is a conceptual example of how the SQL Injection vulnerability might be exploited. This is a sample HTTP request with a malicious payload:
POST /api/maps HTTP/1.1
Host: target.example.com
Content-Type: application/json
{ "search": "'; DROP TABLE users; --" }In the above example, the “search” parameter is injected with a malicious SQL statement `’; DROP TABLE users; –`. If the application does not properly sanitize this input, it will be interpreted as part of an SQL command, causing the “users” table to be dropped, resulting in data loss.
Mitigation
Users of the affected RomanCode MapSVG software are advised to apply the vendor-provided patch once it is available. Until then, a Web Application Firewall (WAF) or Intrusion Detection System (IDS) can be used as temporary mitigation to detect and prevent SQL Injection attacks. Regularly updating and patching software, as well as implementing secure coding practices and input validation, can help prevent such vulnerabilities in the future.
