MITRE ATT&CK
2 techniques across 2 tactics: Initial Access, Persistence The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Impact | The CVSS 3.1 score of 9.8 reflects maximum severity with network attack vector (AV:N), low complexity (AC:L), no privileges required (PR:N), and no user interaction needed (UI:N), resulting in high impacts to confidentiality, integrity, and availability. While no EPSS score or KEV listing was provided in the intelligence data, the combination of remote exploitability without authentication and SQL injection capabilities makes this a critical priority. The vulnerability is tagged specifically as SQLi, confirming the attack class. Given the ease of exploitation and potential for complete system compromise, this represents a genuine high-risk vulnerability requiring immediate attention rather than just a high-CVSS theoretical risk. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An unauthenticated attacker could send specially crafted HTTP requests to the HCL Unica web interface, injecting Boolean SQL conditions into input parameters that are passed to backend database queries. By observing whether the application responds normally or differently based on injected TRUE/FALSE conditions, the attacker can systematically extract sensitive marketing data, customer information, or administrative credentials character by character. Given the low attack complexity and network accessibility, this vulnerability could be exploited remotely without any insider knowledge or user interaction. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Mar 16, 2026
A Boolean-based SQL injection vulnerability exists in HCL Unica that allows remote attackers to manipulate backend database queries through specially crafted input fields. The vulnerability affects HCL Unica version 25.1.1 and below, enabling unauthenticated attackers to extract sensitive data, modify database contents, or potentially compromise the entire system. With a critical CVSS score of 9.8 and network-based attack vector requiring no authentication, this represents a severe risk to organizations using affected Unica installations.
RemediationAI
Organizations must upgrade HCL Unica to a version newer than 25.1.1 as recommended in HCL's security advisory at https://support.hcl-software.com/csm?id=kb_article&sysparm_article=KB0129410. Until patching is possible, implement strict input validation and parameterized queries for all user inputs, deploy a web application firewall (WAF) with SQL injection detection rules, and restrict network access to the Unica application to trusted IP ranges only. Monitor database query logs for suspicious Boolean-based patterns and unusual query volumes that may indicate exploitation attempts.

Technical ContextAI · show details
HCL Unica is an enterprise marketing automation platform identified by CPE cpe:2.3:a:hcl:unica:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*. The vulnerability stems from improper neutralization of special elements in SQL commands (CWE-89), specifically allowing Boolean-based blind SQL injection attacks. In this attack variant, malicious SQL conditions are injected that evaluate to TRUE or FALSE, causing the application to respond differently based on the result without directly revealing data or errors. This enables attackers to systematically extract information from the database one bit at a time by observing application behavior changes.

DescriptionCVE.org
Boolean-Based SQL Injection is a type of blind SQL injection where an attacker manipulates SQL queries by injecting Boolean conditions (TRUE or FALSE) into application input fields. Instead of returning database errors or visible data, the application responds differently depending on whether the injected condition evaluates to true or false. This allows an attacker to inject arbitrary SQL into backend configuration queries executed within the application.
Executive ViewAI
A critical SQL injection vulnerability (CVE-2025-62319) affecting backend configuration queries has been identified with no available patch. Attackers can exploit Boolean-based blind SQL injection to extract sensitive data, modify configurations, or gain unauthorized database access, potentially compromising customer data, system integrity, and operational continuity across affected applications.
Deploy Web Application Firewall (WAF) rules targeting Boolean SQL injection patterns and common injection syntax; enforce strict input validation and whitelisting on all user-controllable fields feeding backend queries; implement parameterized prepared statements across affected code paths; restrict database user privileges to minimum required permissions; segment database access with network controls; disable affected backend configuration features until patch availability; enable real-time SQL query logging and anomaly detection; implement rate limiting on authentication and configuration endpoints.
