CVE-2025-64156
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 · uneditedAn improper neutralization of special elements used in an sql command ('sql injection') vulnerability in Fortinet FortiVoice 7.2.0 through 7.2.2, FortiVoice 7.0.0 through 7.0.7, FortiVoice 6.4 all versions, FortiVoice 6.0 all versions may allow an authenticated privileged attacker to execute unauthorized code or commands via crafted requests
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 confidenceSQL injection vulnerability in FortiVoice allows authenticated privileged attackers to execute unauthorized code or commands via crafted SQL requests. The flaw exists in the input handling of certain parameters that are directly incorporated into SQL queries without proper sanitization or use of parameterized statements.

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.
-
Check FortiVoice versionLog into the FortiVoice CLI and run the command to display system status, or access the web interface System > Settings to view the firmware version. Compare your version against the affected ranges: 6.0.0 through 6.0.12, 6.4.0 through 6.4.11, 7.0.0 through 7.0.7, and 7.2.0 through 7.2.1Affected if Your installed version falls within any of the listed version ranges
-
Verify administrative interface exposureInspect the FortiVoice network configuration to determine if the web-based administrative interface is reachable from external or untrusted networks. Check interface bindings and firewall policies that permit access to the management portsAffected if The administrative web interface is accessible from untrusted networks or IP addresses beyond your internal trusted range
-
Confirm privileged access requirementsDetermine if the affected SQL injection endpoint is accessible to any administrative role. In FortiVoice, verify which user roles have access to the specific parameters involved in SQL query handlingAffected if Your administrative users with access to the vulnerable parameter input are not strictly limited to fully trusted personnel
You are affected if your FortiVoice version falls within the affected ranges AND the administrative interface or vulnerable parameter inputs are accessible to untrusted authenticated users.

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 · scopedUpdate FortiVoice to a patched version beyond 7.2.2 (or 7.0.8+) as provided by Fortinet's security advisory. As an interim measure, restrict administrative access to trusted IP addresses and monitor for suspicious SQL-like patterns in requests.
FortiVoice 6.0.13+, 6.4.12+, 7.0.8+, or 7.2.2+ (latest stable release recommended: 7.4.0 or later)
- 1. Identify the currently installed FortiVoice version via the web UI (System > Dashboard > Status) or CLI: 'get system status'
- 2. Based on your current major version branch, plan upgrade path: FortiVoice 6.0.x -> 6.0.13 or later; 6.4.x -> 6.4.12 or later; 7.0.x -> 7.0.8 or later; 7.2.x -> 7.2.2 or later
- 3. Download the appropriate firmware upgrade from Fortinet Customer Support Portal (https://support.fortinet.com) or FortiGuard
- 4. Back up the FortiVoice configuration via CLI: 'execute backup config tftp <config-file> <tftp-server-ip>' or via web UI
- 5. Upgrade firmware via web UI (System > Firmware > Upgrade) or CLI: 'execute system firmware upgrade <image-file> tftp <tftp-server-ip>'
- 6. After reboot, verify upgrade: 'get system status' and confirm version is beyond vulnerable range
- 7. Verify the SQL injection is no longer present by confirming the patched version is running
