CVE-2025-67811
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 · uneditedArea9 Rhapsode 1.47.3 allows SQL Injection via multiple API endpoints accessible to authenticated users. Insufficient input validation allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary SQL commands, resulting in unauthorized database access and potential compromise of sensitive data. Fixed in v.1.47.4 and beyond.
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 confidenceArea9 Rhapsode version 1.47.3 contains SQL injection vulnerabilities in multiple API endpoints accessible to authenticated users. Insufficient input validation on these endpoints allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary SQL commands, potentially enabling unauthorized database access and sensitive data exfiltration.

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 Area9 Rhapsode is installedLocate Area9 Rhapsode application files on the system, typically found in the installation directory (commonly C:\Program Files\Area9 or /opt/area9 on Linux). Look for executable files or service processes named 'rhapsode' or similar.Affected if Area9 Rhapsode software is present on the system
-
Determine the installed version of Area9 RhapsodeCheck the application version information. This is typically available through: 1) The application's About/Help menu if a GUI exists, 2) A --version flag when running the executable from command line, 3) Version metadata in the executable file properties, or 4) A version file in the installation directory.Affected if The installed version is exactly 1.47.3
-
Verify the API endpoints are accessibleConfirm that the web/API interface of Area9 Rhapsode is enabled and accessible. Check if the application exposes HTTP/HTTPS endpoints (typically on port 8080 or 8443, or configured custom ports). This can be verified by reviewing the application configuration files for API endpoint settings.Affected if The API endpoints are enabled and reachable on the network
-
Confirm authentication is configuredReview the authentication configuration for the Area9 Rhapsode API. SQL injection in this CVE requires an authenticated user session. Check whether user authentication is enabled in the application's security settings or configuration files.Affected if User authentication is enabled and users can log in to access the API
The environment is affected only if Area9 Rhapsode version 1.47.3 is installed AND the API endpoints are accessible to authenticated users.
Generated from the published advisory. Verify against your own configuration.
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 · scopedUpgrade to Area9 Rhapsode v.1.47.4 or later where the SQL injection vulnerability has been remediated. Since the fix is available, the primary remediation is applying the vendor patch through a standard upgrade process.
1.47.4 or later (any version beyond 1.47.3)
- Create a complete backup of the current Rhapsode installation and database before proceeding with the upgrade
- Download Rhapsode version 1.47.4 or later from the official vendor distribution (area9.com or security.area9lyceum.com)
- Stop the Rhapsode service to prevent active connections during the upgrade
- Apply the upgrade package following the vendor's standard upgrade procedure for Rhapsode
- After upgrade completion, start the Rhapsode service
- Verify that the SQL injection vulnerability is resolved by confirming all API endpoints properly sanitize input or use parameterized queries
- Test that authenticated user functionality operates normally after the upgrade
