CVE-2025-70024
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 issue pertaining to CWE-89: Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command was discovered in benkeen generatedata 4.0.14.
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 confidenceSQL injection vulnerability (CWE-89) in benkeen generatedata 4.0.14 where user-supplied input is not properly neutralized before being used in SQL queries, allowing attackers to manipulate database queries and potentially access, modify, or delete sensitive data.

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 benkeen generatedata is installedSearch for the generatedata application in your environment - check for directories containing 'generatedata' or files with 'generatedata' in the name, or look for the package via package managers if it was installed as a dependencyAffected if The generatedata application exists in your environment
-
Determine the installed version of generatedataCheck the version file, package.json, composer.json, or other version metadata within the generatedata installation directoryAffected if The installed version is 4.0.14 or falls within the affected version range
-
Verify the application uses a databaseExamine configuration files (such as config files, .env files, or database connection settings) to determine if the application connects to a SQL databaseAffected if The application is configured with a SQL database connection - SQL injection requires a database to be present
-
Check for exposed SQL query endpoints or parametersReview the application's routes, API endpoints, or any user-facing parameters that could accept input and pass it to SQL queries - look for GET/POST parameters that might be used in database operationsAffected if There are application endpoints or parameters that accept user input and construct SQL queries without proper sanitization
-
Review SQL query construction codeExamine the source code files that handle database queries, particularly looking for string concatenation or interpolation used in SQL statement construction rather than parameterized queriesAffected if SQL queries are built using string concatenation with user input rather than prepared statements or parameterized queries
Your environment is affected if you have benkeen generatedata version 4.0.14 (or an affected version) running with a database configuration and user input can reach SQL query construction without parameterized queries.
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.
From vendor dataReplace dynamic SQL queries with parameterized queries or prepared statements throughout the application, and implement proper input validation on all user-supplied parameters before database operations.
