CVE-2025-0700
📋 TL;DR
This CVE describes a critical SQL injection vulnerability in JoeyBling bootplus's admin interface at /admin/sys/log/list. Attackers can exploit the logId parameter to execute arbitrary SQL commands remotely, potentially compromising the database. All systems running vulnerable versions of bootplus with the admin interface exposed are affected.

Bootplus by Joeybling
⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact
Worst Case
Complete database compromise leading to data theft, data manipulation, or full system takeover via SQL injection to RCE chaining.
Likely Case
Database information disclosure, data manipulation, or potential privilege escalation within the application.
If Mitigated
Limited impact with proper input validation and database permissions restricting damage to non-critical data.
🎯 Exploit Status
Exploit disclosed in GitHub issue #22. Requires access to admin interface but SQL injection is straightforward.
🛠️ Fix & Mitigation
✅ Official Fix
Patch Version: Unknown
Vendor Advisory: https://github.com/JoeyBling/bootplus/issues/22
Restart Required: No
Instructions:
Check GitHub repository for updates. Since it's a rolling release, pull latest commits and rebuild/redeploy.
🔧 Temporary Workarounds
Input Validation Filter
allAdd server-side validation to sanitize logId parameter before processing
Implement parameterized queries or input validation in the affected code
Access Restriction
allRestrict access to /admin/sys/log/list endpoint
Configure web server (nginx/apache) to block or restrict the path
Use firewall rules to limit access to admin interface
🧯 If You Can't Patch
- Implement WAF rules to block SQL injection patterns targeting the logId parameter
- Restrict database user permissions to minimize potential damage from SQL injection
🔍 How to Verify
Check if Vulnerable:
Check if your bootplus deployment includes commits up to 247d5f6c209be1a5cf10cd0fa18e1d8cc63cf55d. Test the /admin/sys/log/list endpoint with SQL injection payloads.Check Version:
git log --oneline -1Verify Fix Applied:
Verify the latest commit hash is beyond 247d5f6c209be1a5cf10cd0fa18e1d8cc63cf55d and test that SQL injection attempts are properly blocked.📡 Detection & Monitoring
Log Indicators:
- Unusual SQL queries in database logs
- Multiple failed login attempts to admin interface
- Requests to /admin/sys/log/list with suspicious parameters
Network Indicators:
- SQL injection patterns in HTTP requests to admin endpoints
- Unusual outbound database connections from web server
SIEM Query:
source="web_logs" AND uri_path="/admin/sys/log/list" AND (query_string="*sql*" OR query_string="*union*" OR query_string="*select*" OR query_string="*insert*")
