CVE-2025-32864
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedA vulnerability has been identified in TeleControl Server Basic (All versions < V3.1.2.2). The affected application is vulnerable to SQL injection through the internally used 'GetSettings' method. This could allow an authenticated remote attacker to bypass authorization controls, to read from and write to the application's database and execute code with "NT AUTHORITY\NetworkService" permissions. A successful attack requires the attacker to be able to access port 8000 on a system where a vulnerable version of the affected application is executed on.
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · high confidenceTeleControl Server Basic versions before V3.1.2.2 contain a SQL injection vulnerability in the internal 'GetSettings' method. An authenticated attacker who can reach port 8000 can exploit this to bypass authorization, read/write to the database, and execute code with NT AUTHORITY\NetworkService permissions.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Identify TeleControl Server Basic versionLocate the installed TeleControl Server Basic application and retrieve its version number (check program files, service information, or administration interface)Affected if Version is below V3.1.2.2 (for example, V3.1.0, V3.1.1, or any version prior to 3.1.2.2)
-
Verify port 8000 is listeningRun 'netstat -an | findstr :8000' or check firewall rules to determine if port 8000 is open and accepting connectionsAffected if Port 8000 is exposed and accessible to the attacker (not restricted to trusted IPs only)
-
Confirm GetSettings method is availableCheck if the TeleControl Server Basic web service or API exposing the GetSettings method is reachable on port 8000Affected if The GetSettings endpoint is accessible without additional authentication layers beyond basic authentication
-
Check database user privilegesIf possible, review database connection configuration or logs to confirm the application uses database credentials that permit read/write operationsAffected if The TeleControl Server database user has elevated privileges (db_owner or similar) rather than restricted read-only access
You are affected if TeleControl Server Basic version is below V3.1.2.2 AND port 8000 is accessible to untrusted users, allowing them to reach the GetSettings method.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
dbcve · scoped3.1.2.2
Upgrade to version V3.1.2.2 or later, and implement parameterized queries in the GetSettings method to prevent SQL injection. Restrict network access to port 8000 to trusted users only.
V3.1.2.2 or later
- 1. Obtain TeleControl Server Basic version V3.1.2.2 or later from the official Siemens download portal or through your existing Siemens support channel.
- 2. Ensure you have a complete backup of the current configuration and database.
- 3. Schedule a maintenance window, as the upgrade will require a service restart.
- 4. Stop the TeleControl Server Basic service.
- 5. Install the upgraded version (V3.1.2.2 or later).
- 6. Verify the service starts successfully and the application functions normally.
- 7. Confirm port 8000 is still accessible for legitimate operational needs, but ensure appropriate network segmentation or firewall rules limit access to trusted entities only.
