CVE-2025-52694
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 · uneditedSuccessful exploitation of the SQL injection vulnerability could allow an unauthenticated remote attacker to execute arbitrary SQL commands on the vulnerable service when it is exposed to the Internet, potentially affecting data confidentiality, integrity, and availability. Users and administrators of affected product versions are advised to update to the latest versions immediately.
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 · moderate confidenceAn unauthenticated remote SQL injection vulnerability exists in the affected service, allowing attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands when the service is exposed to the Internet, potentially compromising data confidentiality, integrity, and availability.

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 the installed Advantech productExamine the running containers, services, or installed applications to determine which Advantech IoT product is deployed (IoT Edge, IoTSuite Growth, IoTSuite SaaS Composer, or IoTSuite Starter).Affected if The product matches one of the affected product lines (IoT Edge or IoTSuite variants).
-
Determine the installed versionCheck the running container image tag, installed software version, or service version. For Docker, run 'docker ps' and inspect the image tag. For Windows, check the installed application version.Affected if The installed version is lower than 2.0.2 (for IoT Edge/IoTSuite Growth/Starter Linux Docker) or lower than 3.4.15 (for IoTSuite SaaS Composer).
-
Verify network exposureCheck if the service is listening on a publicly accessible IP address or exposed to the internet. Review firewall rules, NAT configuration, and service binding addresses (e.g., check configuration files or run 'netstat'/'ss' to see listening ports and bound addresses).Affected if The service is bound to 0.0.0.0 or a public IP address and is reachable from the internet without authentication.
-
Confirm SQL injection entry point is accessibleReview the service configuration to identify web-facing endpoints or APIs that accept user input and interact with the database. Check for unauthenticated endpoints that handle query parameters.Affected if Unauthenticated SQL-facing endpoints are accessible without requiring credentials.
You are affected if you are running any of the listed Advantech products at a version below the specified thresholds with the service exposed to the internet and unauthenticated SQL entry points accessible.

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 · scoped2.0.23.4.15
Immediately update to the latest version of the affected product to remediate this vulnerability.
Iot Edge Linux Docker/Windows/Iotsuite Growth/Starter: upgrade to 2.0.2 | Iotsuite Saas Composer: upgrade to 3.4.15
- Identify the specific IoT Suite or IoT Edge product and version currently deployed in your environment
- Stop the affected service to prevent ongoing exploitation during the upgrade process
- For Docker-based products (Iot Edge Linux Docker, Iotsuite Growth Linux Docker, Iotsuite Starter Linux Docker): Pull the latest Docker image for the corresponding fixed version
- For Windows products (Iot Edge Windows): Download the installer for version 2.0.2 from the official vendor repository
- For Iotsuite Saas Composer: Upgrade to version 3.4.15 or later
- Redeploy or reinstall the service with the new version
- Verify the upgrade was successful by checking the version number
- Restart the service and confirm it is running correctly
