Exploitation Conditions

Requires an authenticated account on the Protectel application and the ability to supply the profilInput parameter; the CVE description states a low privileged user can trigger it, so standard (non-admin) authenticated access appears sufficient. Affected deployments are PROTECTELMAJ before v6.5.19 and BDF before v6.4.67. Limiting factors: authentication is required (the supplied vector says PR:H, the description says low-privileged - this is unresolved), and the vendor vector indicates adjacent-network access (AV:A), implying a LAN/internal-network deployment rather than open internet reachability; no user interaction is needed (UI:N). The exact injection mechanism beyond the profilInput parameter is not described in the available sources.

Impact

CVSS 4.0 base score of 8.4 (High) reflects HIGH confidentiality and integrity impact (VC:H/VI:H) with adjacent-network reach (AV:A), low complexity (AC:L) and no user interaction. However, the signals are incomplete and partly conflicting. No EPSS probability, CISA KEV listing, or POC/exploit reference is present in the input, so there is no evidence of active or imminent widespread exploitation; by the precision rules this is no public exploit identified at time of analysis. The vendor vector sets PR:H, but the CVE description explicitly says the injection is reached by a low privileged user - these contradict each other, which materially changes risk (a low-priv-exploitable SQLi is more dangerous than one needing admin); verify privilege level with the vendor/CERT-PL. The vuln.today decision label is this_week (not act_now or emergency), and a vendor patch is available, so this is a real but schedulable priority rather than a drop-everything incident, further tempered by the product being a niche ARKETEAM offering with limited deployment. Net: a genuine high-severity authenticated SQL injection worth patching promptly for the small population running it, but not a mass-exploitation emergency on current signals.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker with a low-privileged authenticated account on an adjacent-network-reachable Protectel deployment submits a crafted value in the profilInput parameter; because input is not properly neutralized, the backend executes attacker-controlled SQL. This lets them read or alter sensitive database contents (VC:H/VI:H) without any user interaction. No public exploit code or POC reference is provided in the available sources.

AnalysisAIv1 – Oct 30, 2026

SQL injection in ARKETEAM Protectel modules PROTECTELMAJ and BDF allows an authenticated user to submit crafted input through the profilInput parameter and alter database queries, with HIGH confidentiality and integrity impact and LOW availability impact. Affected releases are PROTECTELMAJ before 6.5.19 and BDF before 6.4.67; the vendor CVSS 4.0 score is 8.4 (High), and fixed versions have been released. The supplied vector indicates adjacent-network access and high privileges (AV:A/PR:H), while the advisory says a low-privileged user can trigger the flaw, so the privilege and network preconditions remain unresolved; no public exploit was identified at time of analysis.

RemediationAI

Upgrade PROTECTELMAJ to v6.5.19 or later and BDF to v6.4.67 or later; these are the fixed versions identified in the advisory, and patch availability is listed as available from the vendor. Apply the vendor update via https://protectel.arketeam.com/ and consult the CERT.PL reference at https://cert.pl/en/posts/2026/10/CVE-2025-68391. No separate workaround is described in the supplied data; until the update is applied, limit network reachability of the Protectel application to trusted internal segments, which is consistent with the vendor AV:A vector but reduces remote accessibility, and restrict which accounts can submit the profilInput parameter, which may affect legitimate profile workflows. The vuln.today decision label is this_week.

Technical ContextAI · show details

Protectel is an application whose PROTECTELMAJ and BDF modules handle user-supplied profile input. CWE-89 (Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command) is the root cause: the profilInput parameter is not safely neutralized before being used in a SQL query, allowing injected SQL syntax to change query semantics. The CPE entries cpe:2.3:a:arketeam:protectelmaj:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* and cpe:2.3:a:arketeam:bdf:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* confirm that versions before the fixed releases are in scope. The available sources do not describe the database engine, the vulnerable query, or the exact injection mechanism beyond the profilInput parameter; the supplied CVSS 4.0 vector specifies AV:A/AC:L/AT:N/PR:H/UI:N with VC:H/VI:H/VA:L, while the independent assessment records AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:L, so the network reach and required privilege level differ between sources and are unresolved.

DescriptionCVE.org

ARKETEAM Protectel modules PROTECTELMAJ and BDF are vulnerable to SQL injection vulnerability. Improper neutralization of input provided by a low privileged user into "profilInput" parameter allows for SQL Injection attacks. This issue has been fixed in: PROTECTELMAJ v6.5.19 and BDF v6.4.67

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

A high-severity SQL injection vulnerability has been identified in ARKETEAM's Protectel modules (PROTECTELMAJ and BDF), affecting versions prior to 6.5.19 and 6.4.67 respectively. Authenticated users can exploit this flaw to alter database queries, potentially leading to unauthorized data access or modification. Given the sensitive nature of the data likely handled by these modules, leadership should prioritize remediation to prevent data breaches or integrity issues.
