An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2025-8868 exists.\n\nAffected product: Progress Software Chef Automate. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-8868/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-8868/index.md)","id":"CVE-2025-8868","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-8868/index.md","name":"CVE-2025-8868","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-mh28-g8jv-r635"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_read","security_bypass"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Chef Automate compliance service","requires_auth":"none","summary":"An authenticated attacker can exploit SQL injection in the Chef Automate compliance service to access restricted functionality and read sensitive data.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"sql_injection"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"ProgressSoftware","cpe":[{"product":"automate","vendor":"chef"}],"cvss":{"score":9.8,"severity":"critical","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-89","name":"Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command"},{"id":"CWE-200","name":"Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor"}],"description":"In Progress Chef Automate, versions earlier than 4.13.295, on Linux x86 platform, an authenticated attacker can gain access to Chef Automate restricted functionality in the compliance service via \n\nimproperly neutralized inputs used in an SQL command using a well-known token.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":1,"refs":[{"date":null,"kind":"nuclei","ref":"http/cves/2025/CVE-2025-8868.yaml","stars":null,"title":"Chef Automate \u003c 4.13.295 — SQL Injection"}],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":false,"headline":"Chef Automate compliance service SQL Injection Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2025-8868","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"sql_injection","year":"2025"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Fallback tar extraction in pip doesn't check symbolic links point to extraction directory","id":"CVE-2025-8869"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Graphina - Elementor Charts and Graphs \u003c= 3.1.3 - Authenticated (Contributor+) Stored Cross-Site Scripting","id":"CVE-2025-8867"},"products":["Chef Automate"],"published":"2025-09-29","related":[{"cvss_score":9.9,"headline":"Automate Vulnerable to Malicious Content Uploaded Through Embedded Compliance Application","id":"CVE-2023-40050","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-10-31"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Chef Automate SQL Injection Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2025-6724","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-09-29"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"MIT","name":"Nuclei templates"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"yes","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"total"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2025-09-29","vendors":["Progress Software"]},"summary":"An authenticated attacker can exploit SQL injection in the Chef Automate compliance service to access restricted functionality and read sensitive data.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-8868/"}
