### 🚨 Technical Details:
* The vulnerability allows attackers to **inject SQL** into HTTP/S requests without any login.
* One of the vulnerable endpoints is `/api/fabric/device/status`, where SQL payloads in the `Authorization: Bearer` header can be executed.
* Potential impact includes **full database compromise**, **data theft**, or **remote code execution** via `SELECT … INTO OUTFILE` or similar techniques.
---
### 🔐 Risk:
* **Attack Vector**: Remote, no authentication required
* **Impact**: Full access to FortiWeb backend DB, possible system compromise
* **Threat Level**: **Critical** — especially since FortiWeb is a security appliance
---
### 🧩 Mitigation Steps:
1. **Patch immediately** to the fixed version corresponding to your FortiWeb release.
2. **Restrict or disable HTTP/HTTPS access** to the management interface temporarily.
3. **Monitor logs** for suspicious API calls or Bearer token injections.
4. **Audit internet-facing FortiWeb appliances** and isolate if unpatched.
---
### ✅ TL;DR:
* CVE-2025-25257 is a **critical unauthenticated SQL injection** in FortiWeb.
* Patch now to versions: **7.6.4+, 7.4.8+, 7.2.11+, or 7.0.11+**.
* If unpatched, disable external access to the management GUI.
* Exploitation is likely—treat this as a top priority.
