CVE-2025-0230: Medium Vulnerability in Fabian Responsive Hotel Site

A vulnerability, which was classified as critical, was found in code-projects Responsive Hotel Site 1.0. Affected is an unknown function of the file /admin/print.php. The manipulation of the argument pid leads to SQL injection. It is possible to launch the attack remotely. The exploit has been disclosed to the public and may be used.

The CVSS score of 5.3 indicates a medium severity level, highlighting that while the vulnerability is not the most critical, it still poses a significant risk. Risk to organizations includes unauthorized access to sensitive information, potential data loss, and disruption of service.

Organizations should prioritize patching immediately. Given the nature of SQL injection attacks, the potential for exploitation is relatively high, especially since the vulnerability is accessible remotely.

Defenders are urged to assess their systems for exposure to this vulnerability and implement necessary mitigation strategies.

Vulnerability Details

The vulnerability allows for SQL injection through the /admin/print.php file in the Responsive Hotel Site 1.0. This vulnerability falls under CWE-89 and is characterized by its ability to manipulate SQL queries by injecting arbitrary SQL code.

The vulnerability was published on January 5, 2025, and affects all versions of the Responsive Hotel Site prior to the vendor patch.

Technical Analysis

The root cause of this vulnerability lies in insufficient input validation on the pid parameter, which allows attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands. The attack vector is network-based, and the complexity is low, as no special privileges or user interactions are required.

The vulnerability impacts confidentiality, integrity, and availability, all rated as low, but the potential for information disclosure remains significant.

Risk & Impact Analysis

Real-world deployment risk includes unauthorized access to databases, data manipulation, and exploitation of sensitive information. Organizations that fail to address this vulnerability may face data breaches and regulatory penalties, especially if they handle sensitive customer information.

Organizations should address in priority patch cycle due to the potential for exploitation and the associated risks.

Exploitation Status

Affected Versions

All versions prior to vendor patch are affected, specifically the Responsive Hotel Site version 1.0.

Mitigation & Remediation

Organizations should apply the vendor patch as soon as available. Additionally, they should consider reviewing their code for input validation and sanitization practices to prevent similar vulnerabilities in the future.

Configuration hardening and network controls should also be implemented to monitor and restrict access to sensitive areas of the application.

For more comprehensive security, organizations should engage in penetration testing to identify weaknesses.

Detection Guidance

Monitor logs for unusual database queries and access patterns that could indicate exploitation attempts.

Behavioral anomalies in user interactions with the admin panel should also trigger alerts for further investigation.

AppSecure Threat Intelligence Insight

The emergence of this SQL injection vulnerability highlights the ongoing need for robust security practices in web applications. Organizations should stay vigilant against common attack vectors, particularly those involving user input.
