CVE-2025-7918
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 · uneditedWinMatrix3 Web package developed by Simopro Technology has a SQL Injection vulnerability, allowing unauthenticated remote attackers to inject arbitrary SQL commands to read, modify, and delete database contents.
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 confidenceWinMatrix3 Web package by Simopro Technology contains a SQL Injection vulnerability that allows unauthenticated remote attackers to inject arbitrary SQL commands through web inputs, enabling full database compromise with ability to read, modify, and delete 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.
-
Confirm WinMatrix3 Web installationSearch for Simopro WinMatrix3 installation directories on the system. Check common paths such as C:\Program Files\Simopro\WinMatrix3 or C:\inetpub\wwwroot\WinMatrix3. Look for winmatrix3.exe, web.config, or related DLL files.Affected if WinMatrix3 Web package by Simopro Technology is installed on the system
-
Identify the installed versionRight-click on the winmatrix3.exe executable and select Properties, then navigate to the Details tab to view the File Version. Alternatively, check version info in the web.config file or any README/install files in the installation directory.Affected if The installed version cannot be determined or is within an affected version range (no specific safe version documented)
-
Verify web service is running and accessibleCheck if the WinMatrix3 web service is running by reviewing services.msc or using netstat -ano to identify listening HTTP ports (commonly ports 80, 443, or 8080). Attempt to access the web interface via browser if it is exposed.Affected if The WinMatrix3 web interface is exposed and accessible over the network without authentication
-
Inspect database connection configurationLocate and review configuration files in the WinMatrix3 installation directory, such as web.config, appsettings.json, or any database connection files. Look for connection strings that specify database credentials and connectivity details.Affected if Database configuration files exist and the application connects to a database without evidence of encrypted or secured credentials
-
Check for SQL injection-vulnerable input pointsReview web application source files (ASPX, ASP, PHP, or similar) in the installation directory for SQL query implementations. Search for patterns where user input is concatenated directly into SQL strings without using parameterized queries, prepared statements, or input sanitization.Affected if SQL queries are constructed using string concatenation with user-supplied input rather than parameterized queries
A system is affected if WinMatrix3 Web is installed, the web interface is network-accessible, and the application contains SQL queries built with unsanitized user input.

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 dataImplement parameterized queries/prepared statements for all database interactions, apply input validation and proper escaping, and consider deploying a WAF as a temporary compensating control until code-level fixes are completed.
