Fixed in
5.0.1
CVE-2025-10266 describes a critical SQL Injection vulnerability discovered in the NUP Portal developed by NewType Infortech. This vulnerability allows unauthenticated remote attackers to inject arbitrary SQL commands, leading to unauthorized access and manipulation of sensitive data. Versions 0 through SP5.0 are affected. A patch is available in version 5.0.1.
Impact and Attack Scenarios
The impact of this SQL Injection vulnerability is severe. An attacker could leverage it to bypass authentication and gain complete control over the NUP Portal's database. This includes the ability to read confidential user data (usernames, passwords, personal information), modify critical system configurations, and even delete entire database tables. Successful exploitation could lead to a complete compromise of the system and significant data loss. The potential for lateral movement within the network depends on the database's permissions and connectivity to other systems, but the initial breach point is highly impactful.
Exploitation Context
CVE-2025-10266 has been publicly disclosed and assigned a CRITICAL CVSS score of 9.8. While no public proof-of-concept (PoC) code has been released at the time of writing, the ease of SQL Injection exploitation suggests a high probability of exploitation. The vulnerability is not currently listed on the CISA KEV catalog. Active campaigns targeting this vulnerability are not yet confirmed, but the severity warrants immediate attention and proactive security measures.

What do these metrics mean?
- Attack Vector
- Network — remotely exploitable over the internet. No physical or local access required. Widest attack surface.
- Attack Complexity
- Low — no special conditions required. Attacker can exploit reliably without depending on rare configurations or timing.
- Privileges Required
- None — unauthenticated. No login or credentials needed to exploit.
- User Interaction
- None — attack is automatic and silent. Victim does nothing: no click, no file open.
- Scope
- Unchanged — impact is limited to the vulnerable component itself.
- Confidentiality
- High — complete confidentiality loss. Attacker can read all data: credentials, keys, personal data.
- Integrity
- High — attacker can write, modify, or delete any data: databases, config files, or code.
- Availability
- High — complete crash or resource exhaustion. Full denial of service.

Mitigation and Workarounds
The primary mitigation for CVE-2025-10266 is to immediately upgrade the NUP Portal to version 5.0.1 or later. If upgrading is not immediately feasible due to compatibility issues or downtime concerns, consider implementing temporary workarounds. These may include restricting network access to the NUP Portal, implementing strict input validation on all user-supplied data, and deploying a Web Application Firewall (WAF) with SQL Injection protection rules. Regularly review database user permissions to minimize the potential damage from a successful attack. After upgrading, confirm the vulnerability is resolved by attempting a SQL Injection attack on a non-critical endpoint.
How to fix
Update NUP Portal to a version later than SP5.0 that fixes the SQL Injection (SQL Injection) vulnerability. Refer to the vendor's website, NewType Infortech, for the latest version and update instructions. Apply security updates as soon as they are available.
