CVE-2025-11608
📋 TL;DR
CVE-2025-11608 is an SQL injection vulnerability in code-projects E-Banking System 1.0 that allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands via the username/password parameters in register.php. This affects all deployments of version 1.0, potentially compromising the entire database and authentication system.
💻 Affected Systems
- code-projects E-Banking System
📦 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 on the database server.
Likely Case
Unauthorized access to sensitive banking data, user credential theft, and potential financial fraud through manipulated transactions.
If Mitigated
Limited impact with proper input validation and database permissions, potentially only error messages or failed login attempts.
🎯 Exploit Status
Public exploit available on GitHub. Attack requires no authentication and uses simple SQL injection techniques.
🛠️ Fix & Mitigation
✅ Official Fix
Patch Version: Not available
Vendor Advisory: https://code-projects.org/
Restart Required: No
Instructions:
No official patch available. Consider migrating to a different banking system or implementing custom fixes with parameterized queries.
🔧 Temporary Workarounds
Input Validation and Sanitization
allImplement strict input validation and parameterized queries in register.php to prevent SQL injection.
Modify register.php to use prepared statements with parameterized queries instead of direct string concatenation
Web Application Firewall (WAF)
allDeploy a WAF with SQL injection protection rules to block malicious payloads.
Configure WAF to block SQL injection patterns in POST parameters
🧯 If You Can't Patch
- Isolate the E-Banking System behind a reverse proxy with strict input filtering
- Implement network segmentation to limit database access from the web server
🔍 How to Verify
Check if Vulnerable:
Test register.php endpoint with SQL injection payloads in username/password parameters and observe database errors or unexpected behavior.Check Version:
Check the software version in the application interface or configuration files.Verify Fix Applied:
Attempt SQL injection attacks after implementing fixes and verify they are blocked without database errors.📡 Detection & Monitoring
Log Indicators:
- SQL syntax errors in application logs
- Multiple failed registration attempts with unusual payloads
- Database query errors containing user input
Network Indicators:
- POST requests to /register.php with SQL keywords in parameters
- Unusual database connection patterns from web server
SIEM Query:
source="web_logs" AND uri="/register.php" AND (request_body CONTAINS "' OR" OR request_body CONTAINS "UNION" OR request_body CONTAINS "SELECT *")
