CVE-2025-11557
📋 TL;DR
This SQL injection vulnerability in Gate Pass Management System 1.0 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands via the 'fullname' parameter in /add-pass.php. This can lead to unauthorized data access, modification, or deletion. All deployments of version 1.0 are affected.
💻 Affected Systems
- Gate Pass Management System
📦 What is this software?
⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact
Worst Case
Complete database compromise including data theft, data destruction, and potential server takeover via SQL injection to RCE chaining
Likely Case
Unauthorized access to sensitive gate pass data, user information, and potential privilege escalation
If Mitigated
Limited impact with proper input validation and WAF rules blocking SQL injection patterns
🎯 Exploit Status
Public exploit available on GitHub, requires no authentication, simple SQL injection technique
🛠️ Fix & Mitigation
✅ Official Fix
Patch Version: Unknown
Vendor Advisory: None available
Restart Required: No
Instructions:
No official patch available. Consider migrating to alternative software or implementing custom fixes with parameterized queries.
🔧 Temporary Workarounds
WAF Rule Implementation
allDeploy web application firewall rules to block SQL injection patterns targeting /add-pass.php
# Example ModSecurity rule: SecRule ARGS:fullname "@detectSQLi" "id:1001,phase:2,deny,status:403"
Input Validation Filter
allAdd input validation to sanitize the fullname parameter before processing
# PHP example: $fullname = mysqli_real_escape_string($conn, $_POST['fullname']);
🧯 If You Can't Patch
- Isolate the system behind a reverse proxy with strict input validation
- Implement network segmentation to limit database access from the web server
🔍 How to Verify
Check if Vulnerable:
Test /add-pass.php endpoint with SQL injection payloads in fullname parameter (e.g., ' OR '1'='1)Check Version:
Check application version in admin panel or readme filesVerify Fix Applied:
Verify that SQL injection payloads no longer execute and return error messages📡 Detection & Monitoring
Log Indicators:
- Unusual SQL errors in application logs
- Multiple failed login attempts from single IP
- Suspicious fullname parameter values containing SQL keywords
Network Indicators:
- HTTP POST requests to /add-pass.php with SQL injection patterns
- Unusual database query patterns from web server
SIEM Query:
source="web_logs" AND uri_path="/add-pass.php" AND (fullname="*OR*" OR fullname="*UNION*" OR fullname="*SELECT*")
