CVE-2025-7636
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 · uneditedImproper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command ('SQL Injection') vulnerability in Ergosis Security Systems Computer Industry and Trade Inc. ZEUS PDKS allows SQL Injection. This issue affects ZEUS PDKS: from <1.0.5.10 through 10022026. NOTE: The vendor was contacted early about this disclosure but did not respond in any way.
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 in ZEUS PDKS software allows attackers to inject malicious SQL commands through unsanitized input fields. The flaw affects versions from before 1.0.5.10 through version 10022026. With a CVSS score of 8.8 (HIGH), successful exploitation could enable unauthorized data access, modification, or potentially remote code execution depending on database configuration.

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 ZEUS PDKS installationSearch system for ZEUS PDKS software by checking installed programs list, application directories, or running processes containing 'zeus' or 'pdks' in the nameAffected if ZEUS PDKS software is found on the system
-
Locate version informationCheck the ZEUS PDKS software's about dialog, installation directory for a version file, or execute the software with a version flag if availableAffected if Unable to determine the installed version number
-
Compare installed version to affected rangeDocument the exact version number found and compare it against the vulnerable range: versions before 1.0.5.10 through version 10022026Affected if Installed version falls within the range before 1.0.5.10 or is 10022026 or lower (e.g., 1.0.5.9, 1.0.4.0, 10022025)
-
Identify web-facing input interfacesReview ZEUS PDKS deployment architecture to determine if web interfaces, API endpoints, or user-facing forms accept input that could reach database queriesAffected if Web interfaces or input fields are exposed and the software version is vulnerable
You are affected if ZEUS PDKS is installed and the version is before 1.0.5.10 or falls between 1.0.5.10 and 10022026 inclusive, especially if web-facing input fields exist.

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 dataUntil vendor supplies a patch, implement input validation with parameterized queries (prepared statements) at all database interaction points, apply web application firewall rules to block SQL injection patterns, and restrict database privileges to minimum necessary.
