CVE-2025-8868 Sep 29, 12:15 HIGH POC PATCH THREAT Act Now

SQL injection in the compliance service of Progress Chef Automate versions earlier than 4.13.295 on Linux x86 lets an attacker with low-privilege authenticated access reach restricted compliance functionality and execute arbitrary SQL, yielding high impact to confidentiality, integrity, and availability (CVSS 8.8, AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H). Exploitation requires authenticated access combined with a 'well-known' token, but because that token is described as well-known, the effective authentication barrier is likely far weaker than the PR:L vector suggests; exploitation is further confined to the Linux x86 build and to releases below 4.13.295. Publicly available exploit code exists and EPSS is elevated at 17.32% (95th percentile), making this a credible operational priority rather than a merely paper-high CVSS; there is no CISA KEV confirmation of active exploitation.
