MITRE ATT&CK
1 technique across 1 tactic: Privilege Escalation The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | Exploitation requires a valid TIM Flow user account at any privilege level - the CVSS 4.0 vector confirms PR:L, meaning an authenticated but non-administrative session is sufficient. No special configuration, non-default feature flag, or specific deployment mode is required; the vulnerable export endpoint is a standard component of the administrative dashboard present in default deployments of TIM Flow before 26.0.6. The primary limiting factor is authentication: unauthenticated external attackers cannot exploit this directly and must first obtain any valid credential. No user interaction from a third party is required (UI:N), and no special timing or race condition applies (AT:N). Exploitation is limited in impact to read-only database access - the CVSS vectors confirm no integrity (VI:N) or availability (VA:N) impact, and scope is contained to the vulnerable system (SC:N/SI:N/SA:N). |
| Impact | The CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:N/VA:N) yields a score of 7.1, accurately reflecting a network-accessible, low-complexity exploit that requires only a standard authenticated session, with high confidentiality impact but no integrity or availability consequence. An independent CVSS 3.1 assessment yields 6.5 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N), consistent with this profile. No EPSS data was available in the provided intelligence, and no CISA KEV listing or public proof-of-concept code has been identified, which moderates immediate alarm but does not diminish practical severity. The core risk driver is operational simplicity: any valid account holder can send a crafted HTTP request with no specialized tooling, making insider threats and compromised low-privilege credentials equally dangerous exploitation paths. The blast radius is bounded to read-only data exfiltration - integrity and availability are unaffected - but arbitrary SQL access to the application database likely encompasses credentials, business records, and PII depending on the schema. Organizations where TIM Flow is accessible to a broad or mixed-trust user population should treat this as a high-priority remediation item given the minimal exploitation prerequisites. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An authenticated TIM Flow user with no administrative role sends an HTTP POST request to the administrative dashboard Excel export endpoint, embedding a crafted SQL SELECT query targeting a sensitive table - for example, the user account table containing hashed passwords or the customer records table. The server executes the query using the application's database credentials, generates an Excel spreadsheet containing the result set, and returns it as a file download to the attacker's browser with no further interaction or privilege required. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Aug 24, 2026
Improper authorization in TIM Flow before 26.0.6 exposes a privileged dashboard Excel export endpoint to exploitation by any authenticated user, enabling arbitrary SQL query execution against the application database. The missing server-side authorization check (CWE-862) allows non-administrative accounts to craft SQL SELECT statements, submit them to the export endpoint, and receive full query results as a downloadable spreadsheet, effectively granting unrestricted read access to the database. No public exploit code or active exploitation has been identified at time of analysis, but the low attack complexity makes this immediately actionable by any account holder.
RemediationAI
The primary remediation is to upgrade TIM Flow to version 26.0.6 or later, as documented in the vendor release notes at https://tim-doc.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/eng/pages/230981636/Release+Notes. If immediate upgrade is not operationally feasible, a compensating control is to restrict network access to the dashboard Excel export endpoint at the reverse proxy or WAF layer - for example, by blocking or requiring step-up authentication (e.g., IP allowlist or additional session token) for the specific export API route; this reduces exposure but introduces operational friction for legitimate admins and does not fix the underlying flaw. Administrators should audit server access logs for the export endpoint retroactively to identify unauthorized queries submitted by non-administrative users prior to patching. Limiting TIM Flow access to a trusted, minimized user population via VPN or network segmentation further reduces the pool of users who can exploit the authenticated entry point, though this is a risk reduction measure rather than a remediation.

Technical ContextAI · show details
TIM Flow, developed by TIM Solutions (CPE: cpe:2.3:a:tim_solutions:tim_flow:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*), is a workflow and process management platform. The vulnerability is classified under CWE-862 (Missing Authorization), a broken function-level authorization defect in which the server-side implementation of the dashboard Excel export endpoint accepts and executes SQL query parameters without verifying that the requesting user holds administrative privileges. The endpoint was designed as an administrative tool, relying on the assumption that only admins would access it, but no enforcement mechanism enforces this boundary server-side. The application's database service account executes the attacker-supplied SQL and packages the result set into an Excel (.xlsx) file returned directly to the caller. This is a classic confused deputy pattern where the application acts on behalf of a low-privilege caller using elevated database credentials.

Lifecycle Timeline
2DescriptionCVE.org
TIM Flow before 26.0.6 contains an improper authorization vulnerability that allows any authenticated user to submit arbitrary SQL queries to a privileged dashboard Excel export endpoint intended for administrative use only. Attackers can craft and submit unauthorized SQL queries to the export endpoint to retrieve sensitive database contents as a downloadable spreadsheet, bypassing role-based access controls.
Executive ViewAI
TIM Flow versions prior to 26.0.6 contain an authorization failure that allows any user with application credentials to directly query the corporate database and export results, creating significant exposure of sensitive data to insider access and making all database information accessible beyond intended administrative controls.
Apply vendor patch (TIM Flow 26.0.6).
