SQL Injection in STER Search Filters

IdentifiersCVE-2026-25606CWE-89· Improper Neutralization of Special…

CVE-2026-25606 is a SQL injection vulnerability in STER affecting versions prior to 9.5. The flaw is caused by improper neutralization of user-supplied input in multiple search filters. An authenticated attacker with low privileges can submit crafted input through these filter parameters and trigger SQL injection against the application's backend database queries. According to the available information, successful exploitation allows access to sensitive data, including records belonging to other users and any other data the application is permitted to access.

ANALYST BRIEF

Impact, mitigation & remediation

What it means. What to do now. Patch path, mitigations, and the assume-compromise checklist.

Impact

What an attacker gets, and what they’ve been doing with it.

Successful exploitation allows an authenticated attacker to read sensitive data through SQL injection. Exposed information may include other users' data as well as any additional data accessible to the application account. The provided CVSS context indicates high confidentiality and integrity impact and low availability impact, but the specific published description explicitly confirms sensitive data exposure.

Mitigation

If you can’t patch tonight, do this now.

If immediate upgrade is not possible, restrict access to STER to only trusted authenticated users, minimize database permissions available to the application, and monitor or filter suspicious input submitted through search filter functionality. These are general risk-reduction measures; the documented fix is upgrading to version 9.5.

Remediation

Patch, then assume compromise.

Upgrade STER to version 9.5 or later. The vendor states that the issue was fixed in version 9.5.
