CVE-2025-53515
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 exists in Advantech iView that allows for SQL injection and remote code execution through NetworkServlet.archiveTrap(). This issue requires an authenticated attacker with at least user-level privileges. Certain input parameters are not sanitized, allowing an attacker to perform SQL injection and potentially execute code in the context of the 'nt authority\local service' account.
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 confidenceAdvantech iView contains a SQL injection vulnerability in the NetworkServlet.archiveTrap() method. Authenticated attackers with user-level privileges can inject malicious SQL through unsanitized input parameters, potentially achieving remote code execution under the 'nt authority\local service' account context.

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.
-
Confirm Advantech iView installationLocate iView installation directory - typical paths include C:\Program Files\Advantech\iView or C:\inetpub\wwwroot\iView. Check for iView.exe or iViewService.exe processes running on the system.Affected if Advantech iView is installed and running
-
Identify installed iView versionRight-click on iView.exe or iViewService.exe, select Properties, then view the Details tab to see the File Version. Alternatively, check the version in the iView web interface login page or help/about section.Affected if Version is below 5.7.05.7057 (e.g., 5.7.04, 5.7.03, etc.)
-
Verify NetworkServlet accessibilityCheck if the web interface is exposed by accessing the iView management URL (typically http://hostname:8080 or https://hostname:8443). Confirm the NetworkServlet endpoint exists by checking application deployment descriptors or web.xml if accessible.Affected if iView web management interface is accessible over the network
-
Check for valid user credentialsReview iView user accounts in the administration panel or user configuration files to determine if low-privilege user accounts exist that could be leveraged for authentication.Affected if Valid user credentials (even user-level) are available or default accounts are in use
-
Inspect HTTP logs for SQL injection attemptsReview iView server logs (typically in logs/ or tomcat/logs/ directories within the iView installation) for patterns like archiveTrap with SQL operators (UNION, SELECT, INSERT) or suspicious parameter values in archiveTrap requests.Affected if Logs show archiveTrap SQL injection patterns or unusual SQL-like strings in request parameters
You are affected if Advantech iView is installed with a version lower than 5.7.05.7057 and the web management interface is accessible, allowing authenticated SQL injection via NetworkServlet.archiveTrap.

dbcve · scoped5.7.05.7057
Apply vendor-provided patches for CVE-2025-53515 when available. Until then, restrict network access to iView management interfaces to trusted IPs only and monitor for suspicious SQL patterns in logs.
Advantech iView version 5.7.05.7057 or later
- 1. Identify the current Advantech iView version by checking the application or system information
- 2. Navigate to the official Advantech support website (www.advantech.com) and locate the downloads or security advisory section for iView
- 3. Download Advantech iView version 5.7.05.7057 or a later stable release
- 4. Review the upgrade documentation provided by Advantech before proceeding
- 5. Create a full backup of the current iView installation, including configuration files and database
- 6. Stop the iView services before applying the upgrade
