CVE-2025-0564
📋 TL;DR
CVE-2025-0564 is a critical SQL injection vulnerability in Fantasy-Cricket 1.0's authentication component that allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands. This affects all systems running the vulnerable software version. Attackers can potentially access, modify, or delete database content through the uname parameter in authenticate.php.
💻 Affected Systems
- Fantasy-Cricket
📦 What is this software?
⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact
Worst Case
Complete database compromise leading to data theft, authentication bypass, privilege escalation, and potential remote code execution if database functions allow it.
Likely Case
Unauthorized database access allowing extraction of user credentials, personal data, and manipulation of application data.
If Mitigated
Limited impact with proper input validation and parameterized queries preventing successful exploitation.
🎯 Exploit Status
Exploit details are publicly available on GitHub. SQL injection via uname parameter requires minimal technical skill.
🛠️ Fix & Mitigation
✅ Official Fix
Patch Version: Not available
Vendor Advisory: Not available
Restart Required: No
Instructions:
No official patch available. Implement workarounds or migrate to alternative software.
🔧 Temporary Workarounds
Input Validation and Sanitization
allAdd strict input validation and parameterized queries to authenticate.php
Modify authenticate.php to use prepared statements: $stmt = $conn->prepare('SELECT * FROM users WHERE username = ?'); $stmt->bind_param('s', $uname);
Web Application Firewall (WAF)
allDeploy WAF rules to block SQL injection patterns
Add WAF rule: SecRule ARGS:uname "@detectSQLi" "id:1001,phase:2,deny,status:403"
🧯 If You Can't Patch
- Isolate the Fantasy-Cricket application in a segmented network zone
- Implement strict network access controls and monitor for SQL injection attempts
🔍 How to Verify
Check if Vulnerable:
Check if authenticate.php exists and contains unsanitized user input in SQL queries. Test with SQL injection payloads in uname parameter.Check Version:
Check application version in configuration files or database: grep -r 'version' /path/to/fantasy-cricket/Verify Fix Applied:
Verify that authenticate.php uses parameterized queries and input validation. Test with SQL injection payloads to confirm they're blocked.📡 Detection & Monitoring
Log Indicators:
- Unusual SQL errors in application logs
- Multiple failed login attempts with SQL syntax in username field
- Database query errors containing user input
Network Indicators:
- HTTP POST requests to authenticate.php with SQL keywords in parameters
- Unusual database connection patterns from web server
SIEM Query:
source=web_logs url="/authenticate.php" AND (uname="*' OR *" OR uname="*;--*" OR uname="*UNION*" OR uname="*SELECT*" OR uname="*INSERT*")
