CVE-2025-1163
📋 TL;DR
A critical stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability exists in the Vehicle Parking Management System 1.0 login function. Attackers with local access can exploit this by manipulating the username argument to execute arbitrary code or crash the system. This affects all installations of the vulnerable software version.
💻 Affected Systems
- Vehicle Parking Management System
📦 What is this software?
⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact
Worst Case
Local privilege escalation leading to full system compromise, arbitrary code execution with system-level privileges, and potential lateral movement within the network.
Likely Case
Local denial of service (system crash) or limited code execution within the application context, potentially allowing data theft or further exploitation.
If Mitigated
Limited impact due to local-only access requirement, with proper network segmentation and least privilege controls preventing lateral movement.
🎯 Exploit Status
Exploit details are publicly available in the GitHub repository. Requires local access to the system running the software.
🛠️ Fix & Mitigation
✅ Official Fix
Patch Version: Unknown
Vendor Advisory: https://code-projects.org/
Restart Required: Yes
Instructions:
1. Check vendor website for updates. 2. If patch available, download and install. 3. Restart the Vehicle Parking Management System service. 4. Verify the fix is applied.
🔧 Temporary Workarounds
Disable Local Access
allRestrict local access to systems running the vulnerable software
# Use firewall rules to restrict access
# Example: iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport [APP_PORT] -s [TRUSTED_IPS] -j ACCEPT
# Example: iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport [APP_PORT] -j DROP
Application Sandboxing
allRun the software in a restricted environment with limited privileges
# Linux: Run as non-root user
sudo useradd -r -s /bin/false parkingapp
sudo chown -R parkingapp:parkingapp /opt/parkingapp/
# Windows: Run as limited user account
🧯 If You Can't Patch
- Isolate the system on a separate network segment with strict access controls
- Implement application whitelisting to prevent execution of unauthorized code
🔍 How to Verify
Check if Vulnerable:
Check if Vehicle Parking Management System version 1.0 is installed and running. Review system logs for authentication attempts with unusually long usernames.Check Version:
# Check application version in configuration files or about dialog
# Linux: grep -r "version" /opt/parkingapp/
# Windows: Check program files directory or registryVerify Fix Applied:
Verify the software version is no longer 1.0. Test the login function with various username lengths to ensure no crashes occur.📡 Detection & Monitoring
Log Indicators:
- Failed login attempts with unusually long usernames
- Application crash logs related to authentication module
- Stack overflow errors in application logs
Network Indicators:
- Unusual local network traffic from the parking system host
- Multiple authentication attempts from single source
SIEM Query:
source="parking_app.log" AND ("buffer overflow" OR "stack overflow" OR "username length" > 100)
