CVE-2025-8052
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 · uneditedSQL Injection vulnerability in opentext Flipper allows SQL Injection. The vulnerability could allow a low privilege user to interact with the database in unintended ways and extract data by interacting with the HQL processor. This issue affects Flipper: 3.1.2.
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 OpenText Flipper version 3.1.2 allows low-privilege authenticated users to inject malicious SQL/HQL queries through the Hibernate Query Language processor, enabling unauthorized database interaction and 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 installed OpenText Flipper versionLocate the Flipper application version information through the admin interface, version file, or application metadata (check /opt/flippper/version, admin dashboard 'About' section, or WAR file manifest if self-hosted)Affected if version displayed is exactly 3.1.2
-
Verify Hibernate Query Language endpoint accessibilityCheck if the HQL query processor endpoint is exposed by examining application routing configuration, web.xml, or API documentation for endpoints that accept raw query parameters (look for patterns like /query, /hql, /search, or Hibernate-related endpoints)Affected if any HQL/query endpoint accepts user-supplied parameters without validation
-
Confirm low-privilege user access to query functionalityLog in with a low-privilege (non-admin) authenticated account and attempt to access any query-builder or search features that interface with HibernateAffected if low-privilege users can access and submit queries through the HQL processor
-
Inspect database user privilegesReview the database connection configuration used by Flipper - check the database user permissions assigned to the application service accountAffected if the application database user has permissions beyond read-only (such as DDL, write, or administrative privileges)
-
Check for input validation on query parametersExamine application logs or proxy logs for requests containing SQL/HQL syntax in query parameters (look for UNION, SELECT, DROP, or Hibernate-specific syntax like 'from', 'where' in parameter values)Affected if application accepts and processes raw SQL/HQL syntax in user-supplied parameters without sanitization
You are affected if your OpenText Flipper installation is exactly version 3.1.2 and the Hibernate Query Language processor is accessible to authenticated users without strict input validation.

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 dataApply vendor-provided security patches or upgrade to a fixed version; until then, implement strict input validation on all user-supplied parameters and apply least-privilege database access controls.
