CVE-2025-54554
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 · uneditedtiaudit in Tera Insights tiCrypt before 2025-07-17 allows unauthenticated REST API requests that reveal sensitive information about the underlying SQL queries and database structure.
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 confidenceThe tiaudit component in Tera Insights tiCrypt contains an unauthenticated REST API endpoint that exposes sensitive system information. Attackers can send requests without authentication to retrieve details about underlying SQL queries and database structure, which can aid in further attacks such as SQL injection or database enumeration.

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 if tiCrypt with tiaudit component is installedCheck for the presence of tiCrypt installation directories or running processes related to tiaudit. Look for process names containing 'tiaudit' or 'tiCrypt' in running processes.Affected if The tiaudit component of tiCrypt is present and running in the environment.
-
Locate tiaudit REST API endpoint configurationExamine tiCrypt configuration files for REST API endpoint definitions, typically in config files under the tiCrypt installation directory or /etc/tiCrypt/. Look for routes or endpoints defined for the tiaudit module.Affected if REST API endpoints for tiaudit are defined and enabled in the configuration.
-
Test unauthenticated access to tiaudit endpointsSend an HTTP request to common tiaudit API paths such as /api/tiaudit/* or /tiaudit/api/* without providing any authentication credentials. Use curl or similar tool to inspect the HTTP response code and content.Affected if The endpoint returns HTTP 200 with system, SQL, or database information without requiring authentication.
-
Verify if SQL query or database structure details are exposedInspect responses from tiaudit endpoints for keywords like 'SELECT', 'INSERT', 'UPDATE', 'DELETE', table names, column names, database schema, or SQL error messages that reveal query details.Affected if Responses contain SQL query text, database schema information, or internal system details that should not be publicly accessible.
-
Check access control configuration for tiaudit endpointsReview tiCrypt authentication and authorization configuration files to determine whether tiaudit endpoints are explicitly excluded from authentication requirements or have misconfigured access controls.Affected if The configuration shows tiaudit endpoints are marked as public, require no authentication, or have overly permissive access rules.
A user is affected if the tiaudit component is running and its REST API endpoints are accessible without authentication, returning sensitive SQL or database structure information.

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.
From vendor dataRestrict tiaudit REST API endpoints to require valid authentication and authorization. Implement proper access controls and ensure error responses do not leak SQL query details or database schema information.
